Trump Media and Technology Group has closed a private placement offering to establish a corporate Bitcoin treasury, raising $2.32 billion in net proceeds.
They sold 56 million shares at $25.72 each for gross proceeds of $1.44 billion and issued $1 billion in convertible secured notes, with 50 institutional investors participating.
The company plans to use the funds to buy Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes, adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet alongside existing assets.
This move makes Trump Media one of the largest Bitcoin holders among publicly-traded U.S. firms, with Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital set to custody the purchased Bitcoin.
