Crypto.com and Trump Media Unite in $6B Cronos Treasury Push
Trump Media partners with Crypto.com to launch a $6B+ Cronos treasury strategy, merging politics, finance, and digital assets.

Trump Media & Technology Group has announced a landmark deal with Crypto.com to form a new company focused on treasury-style accumulation of digital tokens. The entity, called Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, will concentrate on building reserves of Cronos, the native token of Crypto.com, in a move that deepens the former president’s direct ties to the fast-evolving crypto industry.
Market Reaction and Immediate Gains
The announcement sparked sharp moves across financial markets. Cronos surged 22.6 percent to trade at $0.19, marking one of its largest single-day rallies of the year. Trump Media’s own stock climbed 4.2 percent to $17.94, while Yorkville Acquisition Corp., the blank-check company set to merge with the new venture, slipped 2.3 percent. Investors appear divided, with enthusiasm around Trump Media’s push into crypto colliding with skepticism over SPAC-led market entries.
The venture is not short on firepower. Funding will come in the form of $1 billion worth of Cronos tokens, $200 million in cash, $220 million in warrants, and a $5 billion equity line of credit from a Yorkville affiliate. The partners have locked themselves into a one-year mandatory holding period, signaling long-term conviction.
