(Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) ("Trump Media" or the "Company"), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, announced today that it has closed its previously announced private placement offering (“the Offering”) with approximately 50 institutional investors.

Trump Media will use the approximately $2.32 billion in net proceeds from the Offering to create a Bitcoin treasury and for other general corporate purposes and working capital. One of the largest Bitcoin treasury deals for any public company, the net proceeds from this Offering and the Company’s strategy will make Trump Media one of the top Bitcoin holders among publicly-traded U.S. firms with one of the most comprehensive Bitcoin treasury strategies. Trump Media’s CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said, “Trump Media is focused on acquiring great assets, and this deal will give us the financial freedom to implement the rest of our strategies. It means the Company will have more than $3 billion in liquid assets and our shareholders will have exposure to Bitcoin. The deal positions Trump Media for the kind of rapid expansion we’ve always envisioned, and we look forward to advancing even further throughout the America First economy.” The Offering will place Bitcoin on Trump Media’s balance sheet alongside existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $759.0 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2025.
