唐纳德·特朗普旗下的媒体集团刚刚购入全球规模最大加密货币的巨额储备。周一上午,特朗普媒体科技集团(Trump Media and Technology)宣布已购入价值20亿美元的比特币及相关证券,同时预留3亿美元用于购买比特币期权。
市场似乎对这一举措表示认可:特朗普公司股价周一上午较前一交易日收盘价上涨7.2%。过去一周,该股累计涨幅达9%,股价已逼近20美元。该公司近30亿美元流动资产中,约三分之二都配置了比特币。
“我们正严格执行公开宣布的战略,推进比特币储备计划,”特朗普媒体科技集团总裁兼首席执行官戴文·努尼斯(Devin Nunes)在声明中表示,“这些资产将助力保障公司财务自由。”
特朗普原本持有特朗普媒体科技集团的多数股权,在去年12月就任总统前,他将这些股份转移至一个可撤销信托中。此次为购买比特币进行的股票发行,稀释了特朗普的持股比例。
在该公司宣布发行25亿美元新股与债务以推进比特币储备计划近两个月后,特朗普集团又进行了这笔巨额加密货币收购。此举进一步表明,加密货币正日益取代房地产,成为支撑特朗普家族商业帝国的核心力量。
从房地产到加密货币
数十年来,特朗普一直标榜其房地产交易能力。从棕榈滩的海湖庄园高尔夫俱乐部、曼哈顿中城的特朗普大厦,到其他众多房产,他称这些房产为其“价值数十亿美元商业帝国的支柱”。
然而,自2022年12月起——彼时距离加密货币交易所FTX申请破产仅过去一个月——这位资深房地产大亨开始涉足加密货币领域。据《财富》和《福布斯》此前报道,如今,其加密货币业务至少占公司账面价值的一半。
特朗普早期涉足加密货币领域时,曾推出自己的非同质化代币(NFT)系列,这些代币将他描绘成肌肉发达的超级英雄或牛仔。2024年,在竞选连任期间,特朗普与加密货币高管结盟,并在一场备受瞩目的比特币会议上发表演讲。
同年夏天,其子埃里克(Eric)和小唐纳德(Donald Jr.)涉足加密货币领域,并推出了自己的去中心化金融应用程序“世界自由金融”(World Liberty Financial)。再加上特朗普的迷因币、梅拉尼娅(Melania)的迷因币,以及新近开展的比特币挖矿业务,特朗普家族的商业版图已逐渐从房地产帝国转向加密货币集团。
这其中便涵盖特朗普媒体科技集团,该集团旗下拥有特朗普的社交平台“真相社交”(Truth Social)——作为X平台的替代之选。该公司于2024年3月上市,自成立以来营收微薄。根据提交给美国证券交易委员会(Securities and Exchange Commission)的文件,2025年第一季度,其营收仅为82.1万美元。
在媒体领域举步维艰、难以站稳脚跟之际,该集团将业务重心转向加密货币领域。除布局比特币储备外,特朗普媒体科技集团还提交了推出一系列加密货币交易所交易基金的申请,涵盖比特币、以太坊、索拉纳等代币。
该集团甚至暗示将推出自有加密货币及数字钱包。(*)

President Donald Trump’s media company just bought a stash of the world’s largest cryptocurrency. On Monday morning, Trump Media and Technology announced that it had acquired $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities. It also reserved $300 million to buy Bitcoin options.
The market appeared to approve of the move as stock in Trump’s firm jumped 7.2% on Monday morning from the previous close. It’s up 9% at almost $20 over the past week. About two-thirds of the company’s nearly $3 billion in liquid assets are allocated to Bitcoin.
‘We’re rigorously implementing our publicly announced strategy and fulfilling our Bitcoin treasury plan,” Trump Media president and CEO Devin Nunes said in a statement. “These assets help ensure our Company’s financial freedom.”
Trump owned the majority of shares in Trump Media and transferred them in December to a revocable trust before he became president. The stock issued to buy Bitcoin has diluted Trump’s ownership percentage.
The mammoth crypto buy comes almost two months after the company said it had issued $2.5 billion of new stock and debt to pursue a Bitcoin treasury. The move also reinforces how crypto, not real estate, increasingly fuels the Trump family’s business empire.
Real estate to crypto
For decades, Trump has touted his real estate dealmaking prowess. There was Mar a Lago, his golf club in Palm Beach; the Trump Tower, his skyscraper in midtown Manhattan; and a host of other properties that he said fueled a billion-dollar-plus empire.
But, beginning in December 2022, just a month after the crypto exchange FTX declared bankruptcy, the longtime real estate mogul dove into crypto. His crypto businesses now account for at least half of his business’s on-paper worth, according to previous reporting from Fortune and Forbes.
Trump’s early crypto forays included launching his own collection of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, that depicted him as a muscular superhero or cowboy. Then, in 2024, as he was campaigning for reelection, Trump aligned himself with crypto executives and spoke at a marquee conference for Bitcoin.
That summer, his sons Eric and Donald Jr. dove into crypto and launched their own decentralized finance application called World Liberty Financial. Add in a memecoin from Trump, another one for Melania, and a new Bitcoin mining business, and the Trumps’ network of ventures increasingly looked less like a real estate empire and more like a crypto conglomerate.
This includes Trump Media, which encompasses Truth Social, Trump’s alternative to the social media website X. The company went public in March 2024 and has reported little revenue since its launch. For the first quarter of 2025, it recorded only $821,000 in its topline, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As it’s struggled to find its footing in media, it’s pivoted to crypto. In addition to its Bitcoin treasury, Trump Media has also filed to launch a string of crypto ETFs for tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and others.
It’s even hinted at launching its own cryptocurrency and digital wallet.
