Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), majority-owned by Donald Trump and his family, secured $2.5 billion to amass a significant bitcoin treasury. Initially denying the Financial Times report, TMTG later confirmed raising $1.5 billion in equity and $1 billion in debt for this purpose. CEO Devin Nunes called bitcoin a key asset for financial freedom, aligning with TMTG's evolution into a holding company. This move follows other Trump family ventures into the crypto market, including personal crypto coins, a fintech division, and a bitcoin mining business, American Bitcoin, which also aims to build a large bitcoin treasury and go public.
