Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has announced its intention to buy back up to $400 million of its own shares, demonstrating a strong belief in the company’s growth prospects and its stock’s potential. This move comes alongside the preservation of $2.3 billion specifically allocated for the establishment of a significant Bitcoin reserve. The decision was communicated by the company on June 23, highlighting the board of directors’ authorization of the repurchase program as an indication of confidence in TMTG’s future.
Devin Nunes, the CEO and Chairman of TMTG, emphasized the company’s robust financial position, stating, “With nearly $3 billion available on our balance sheet, we’re in a position to deliver value to shareholders while pursuing strategic moves like our Bitcoin treasury plan.” This initiative will be implemented at the company’s discretion in the open market.
Despite a 0.1% dip in its stock price to $17.81 during the trading session on June 23, Trump Media, trading under the ticker DJT, has seen its value decrease by nearly 48% from the year’s peak in January. This decline comes as the company increasingly ventures into the realm of digital currencies.
### Embracing Digital Currencies
In a strategic move in May, Trump Media secured around $2.3 billion for the purpose of buying Bitcoin, signaling a broader acceptance of cryptocurrency under President Trump’s leadership. The firm has furthered its commitment to digital assets by proposing two Truth Social-branded cryptocurrency ETFs, one dedicated to Bitcoin and the other a combination of Bitcoin and Ethereum investments.
The expanding cryptocurrency efforts by President Trump have drawn scrutiny in Washington, with lawmakers raising concerns about potential campaign fundraising risks and conflicts of interest. Financial disclosures revealed that President Trump garnered over $57 million from his blockchain enterprise, World Liberty Financial, amidst speculations of the Trump family reducing their stake in the company. Despite rumors of a Truth Social cryptocurrency wallet and token, the company has denied any immediate plans for such developments. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s value experienced a near 6% decrease, positioning itself around $101,779 as of Monday.
