Trump Media Group confirmed a $2.5 billion capital raise, with $1.5 billion in stock and $1 billion in notes to buy Bitcoin, just a day after dismissing the original report from The Financial Times.
The company plans to hold Bitcoin along with $759 million in existing liquid assets, with custody of the digital assets being managed by Anchorage Digital and Crypto.com.
TMTG stock price dropped over 12% post-announcement, currently trading around $23.05.
The move aligns Trump Media with other publicly traded companies adopting Bitcoin strategies, following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy.
