Trump Media Holds a Massive Bitcoin Stash, But It’s Also Sitting on Millions of Dollars Worth of This Coin

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:DJT) holds a substantial amount of Cronos (CRYPTO: CRO) tokens on its balance sheet, according to the company’s second-quarter earnings released on Monday.

Trump Media’s CRO Bet

The company behind Truth Social held 756,079,523 CRO tokens as of June 30, recognized at a fair value of $40.60 million. At current prices, this stash would be worth $34.45 million.

Trump Media’s CRO holdings s remained unchanged during the first half of 2026, although they recorded an unrealized loss of $27.41 million due to the decline in the token’s price.

Under a purchase agreement, the company cannot sell its 684,427,004 CRO for three years. However, beginning Aug. 26, it said it would be allowed to sell about 10% of them, i.e., 68,442,704 CRO, over the next six months.

CRO is the native token of cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. Trump Media locked a deal with the exchange in August 2025 to set up a company that will buy and hold CRO tokens as part of a treasury strategy. However, the agreement was terminated earlier this month.

President Donald Trump maintains a 41.5% stake in the company, according to the latest 13D filing, translating to a total of 114,750,000 shares. At Monday’s closing price, this equated to $1.07 billion.
