Trump Media Offloads 2,000 Bitcoin Amid Strategic Merger Plans

Trump Media and Technology Group adjusted its Bitcoin position just one day after significantly expanding its crypto reserves.

On Wednesday, the company transferred 2,000 Bitcoin, worth roughly $174.76 million, reducing its total holdings to below 10,000 coins.

The move followed a major accumulation the previous day, when blockchain analytics firm Arkham reported that Trump Media purchased 451 Bitcoin.

That prior acquisition briefly lifted the company’s holdings to 11,542 Bitcoin, valued at over $1 billion at the time. Data from BitcoinTreasuriesNet ranked Trump Media as the 11th-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally.

Despite the timing and scale of the transaction, the company has not provided any public explanation. It remains unclear whether the transfer represented a partial liquidation or a routine reallocation between wallets. Nevertheless, the lack of clarity showed little effect on broader market sentiment.

Bitcoin Price Shows Little Reaction

Bitcoin prices remained largely stable following the transfer, with market data showing no material impact. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $86,828, down 0.83% over the past 24 hours.

The cryptocurrency’s price also remained 31.23% below its all-time high of $126,080, set on October 6, 2025.

Stock Rally Tied to Strategic Merger

Notably, the Bitcoin movement comes amid a strong rally in Trump Media shares, driven by the company’s announcement of an all-stock merger with TAE Technologies.

For context, TAE operates in the nuclear fusion sector, and the transaction values the combined company at more than $6 billion.

According to Trump Media, the merger represents a strategic pivot from its traditional digital media focus toward fusion energy research and development.

Post-merger plans call for the construction of power-intensive infrastructure to support advanced artificial intelligence operations. The move underscores a long-term strategic focus on energy and emerging technologies.

Trump Media shares (DJT) have gained over 30% in the past week. According to the latest data from Google Finance, the stock is trading at $14.15.

Crypto ETF Proposal Expands Digital Asset Strategy

In parallel with its corporate restructuring, Trump Media is also advancing a new crypto initiative. Specifically, the company is seeking regulatory approval for a Truth Social–branded cryptocurrency ETF.

If approved, the proposed fund would track both Bitcoin and Ethereum, with Crypto.com serving as the custody and execution partner and Yorkville America Digital serving as the sponsor.

Ultimately, the ETF would further expand Trump Media’s presence in the digital asset space, positioning the company not only as a holder of cryptocurrencies but also as a provider of crypto-linked investment products.
