Trump Media plans to launch a Truth-branded token and digital wallet as part of a new rewards program. The token may see expanded use across the broader Truth ecosystem, signaling a deeper crypto push. The company is also pursuing crypto ETFs and holds $2B in Bitcoin-related assets.The disclosure marks the first official appearance of the initiative in public financial documents, months after it was first hinted at in a shareholder letter.
The proposed token would be part of a larger “rewards program” tied to a “Truth digital wallet,” which will initially allow users to pay for Truth+ subscriptions.
Trump Media Eyes Ecosystem Expansion with Truth Token
Trump Media suggests the token may eventually be used across a broader range of products and services within the “Truth ecosphere,” hinting at an expanding digital footprint.
Though the company avoids labeling the asset as a cryptocurrency, the language used in the Q2 filing strongly implies that blockchain infrastructure is involved.
The move is part of a wider shift toward digital assets, as the firm deepens its crypto strategy.
In July, Trump Media made headlines after deploying $2 billion into Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities, placing it among the top five public holders of BTC globally.
Earlier, it secured $2.4 billion in a private placement round, with $1 billion now listed as restricted collateral for convertible notes.
Beyond token plans, Trump Media’s fintech division, Truth.Fi, has filed for several crypto exchange-traded funds, including products linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a broader “Crypto Blue Chip” index.
Despite posting its first positive operating cash flow, $2.3 million for the quarter, the company still recorded a net loss of $20 million, citing stock-based compensation and costs tied to its 2024 SPAC merger.
CEO Devin Nunes has positioned the company’s crypto efforts as a defense mechanism against what he describes as financial censorship and discrimination by traditional institutions.
