Trump Media and Technology Group, the holding company behind Truth Social and Truth Plus, is preparing to introduce a new utility token as part of a larger growth plan. CEO Devin Nunes revealed these updates in a letter marking the company’s first year as a publicly traded company, highlighting new functionalities, investments, and upcoming crypto integrations.
The utility token will be added to a special Truth digital wallet and will first be used to pay for Truth Plus subscriptions. Later on, it might also be used for other services in the Trump Media network, as part of a bigger rewards program.
Marking One Year of Momentum
Marking its first year as a public company, Nunes mentioned the company’s solid financing standing, holding $777 million in cash with reduced operational costs. He thinks this gives Trump Media a clear advantage for progress, especially as it rolls out new extra features for Truth Plus, such as videos, an edit button, and access to news channels with a more traditional viewpoint and content suitable for all ages.
The Surge of Big Investments in the Finance Industry
On the other hand, under its financial services brand Truth.Fi, Trump Media is announcing a series of ETFs and individually managed accounts with an “America-first” focus in collaboration with Yorkville U.S. Stocks and Index Technologies Group. Up to $250 million has been assigned to this project.
However, Trump’s strategies in the crypto space have raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest. Even though he transferred his 59% stake to a trust, he is still connected to various crypto businesses, such as World Liberty Financial, where he holds the title of “Chief Crypto Advocate” and earns profits from the company, which is mainly owned by the Trump family. His launch of the memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP), just before his return to office also faced criticism.
Nunes also raised concerns about market manipulation, pointing out a hedge fund’s 6 million short positions and informing the SEC. He mentioned that the company is actively looking for mergers and acquisitions to find valuable assets that fit its long-term goals.
Navigating Stock Challenges and M&A Strategy
Despite the declarations, Trump Media’s stock (DJT) dropped 3% on the day and is down 26% for the year, as investor interest seems to be slowing down due to wider market instability. Nunes claims hedge fund interference is partly to blame and has warned the SEC. He also said that Trump Media is on the lookout for key acquisitions to fuel sustainable growth.
