Trump Media Scraps $6.42 Billion Crypto Treasury Deal

Trump Media & Technology Group has abandoned plans for a massive $6.42 billion cryptocurrency treasury, opting to terminate its partnership with Crypto.com and Yorkville Acquisition Corp. The companies cited shifting business priorities and market conditions for ending the proposed venture, which was intended to center on Cronos tokens.

The failed treasury project, originally announced in August 2025, was set to include $1 billion in CRO tokens alongside a $5 billion equity line of credit. While the termination marks a retreat from the company's most aggressive crypto expansion efforts, it does not signal a total exit from digital assets. Trump Media maintains significant holdings, including 9,542 BTC and 756 million CRO, which were acquired through a separate strategic partnership that remains active.

Beyond the treasury, the company is pivoting its approach to prediction markets. Plans to embed a native tool called Truth Predict directly into the Truth Social platform have been scrapped in favor of a simpler marketing arrangement to promote Crypto.com’s existing products. Management is now intensifying its focus on a $6 billion all-stock merger with TAE Technologies, a fusion energy firm, which has emerged as the company’s primary strategic objective for 2026. This consolidation comes after a volatile first quarter that saw the company report a $405.9 million net loss, driven by markdowns on its existing crypto portfolio.
