Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, advances plans to list a dual crypto Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has taken a significant step into the cryptocurrency world by filing for a Bitcoin and Ethereum-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF). The proposed ETF, known as the "Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF," is set to allocate approximately 70-75% to Bitcoin and 15-25% to Ethereum, with smaller portions for Solana, Cronos, and Ripple tokens.
The ETF, if approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, a well-known platform for ETFs. Foris DAX Trust Company, operating as Crypto.com, will serve as the custodian for the trust of the Truth Social ETF, ensuring institutional-grade security for the fund's cryptocurrency holdings.
The ETF aims to provide investors with easy access to Bitcoin and Ether through shares backed by these cryptocurrencies. TMTG's recent filing follows its securing of SEC approval for its $2.3 billion Bitcoin treasury strategy, marking a significant regulatory milestone.
The registration of the ETF is tied to broader equity and debt agreements with nearly 50 investors. However, TMTG currently has "no immediate plans" to issue new securities. The SEC has declared effective the S-3 registration statement filed by TMTG on June 6, which includes approximately 56 million shares, plus an additional 29 million shares linked to convertible notes.
The move is part of TMTG's long-term strategy to broaden its business beyond existing media activities. TMTG's entry into the cryptocurrency investment space with its proposed ETF signals a clear intent to diversify its offerings and engage a wider investor base.
