SAEDNEWS: Trump Media & Technology Group has agreed a $6.4 billion deal to buy Crypto.com’s CRO tokens, creating the “first and largest publicly traded CRO treasury company.”
Donald Trump’s media empire just made one of the boldest crypto moves of 2025. Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the family-run company behind Truth Social, announced a $6.4 billion deal to buy Crypto.com’s CRO tokens—yes, you read that right, billions in crypto.
TMTG purchased $105 million worth of CRO tokens.
Crypto.com bought $50 million in TMTG stock.
The price of CRO immediately jumped 35%, while TMTG shares climbed 6%.
And it doesn’t stop there. TMTG is also raising $2.5 billion to buy bitcoin as part of a massive crypto treasury strategy. Meanwhile, Yorkville Acquisition Corp, a Nasdaq-listed blank-cheque company, plans to buy $1 billion more in CRO tokens and even change its ticker to “Make CRO Great Again.”
This isn’t just a random investment. The deal makes TMTG the first and largest publicly traded CRO treasury company, giving it a huge stake in the world of digital assets. CRO will also become the platform token for Truth Social, further linking Trump’s media empire to crypto.
It’s part of a growing trend of companies buying crypto aggressively, sometimes to boost their stock prices. TMTG’s move comes alongside other Trump family crypto ventures, including memecoins launched by Trump and Melania, and digital asset ventures run by his sons.
CRO token: +35%
TMTG shares: +6%
Investors are already taking notice, and this deal is likely to spark more headline-grabbing moves in the crypto and media space.
Whether you love or hate Trump, this is a serious move in the crypto world. The deal shows how digital assets are becoming intertwined with mainstream media and political figures. And with billions of dollars on the line, it’s a story that could shape the market for years to come.
