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

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.

Trump Media’s Bitcoin Position

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.

Price Action: At the time of writing, CRO was exchanging hands at $0.04689, down 1.76% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Trump Media shares fell 0.53% in pre-market trading after closing 8.03% lower at $9.39 during Monday’s regular trading session.

Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that DJT’s price trend is stronger in the short and medium term, though it trails over the long term.
