The Trump Media Group has announced a significant financial maneuver, successfully completing a private placement involving approximately 50 institutional investors. This strategic move encompasses the sale of 55,857,181 shares of common stock at a price of $25.72 each, yielding roughly $1.44 billion in gross proceeds. Moreover, the issuance of $1 billion in convertible senior secured notes, set at a conversion price of $34.72, adds another layer of financial strength.
In total, the offerings generated about $2.44 billion, with Trump Media planning to allocate approximately $2.32 billion of the net proceeds to establish a robust Bitcoin reserve, enhancing its corporate liquidity and strategic positioning. This initiative positions Trump Media as a contender among the largest Bitcoin-holding public companies in the U.S., bolstering its balance sheet alongside its current holdings of $759 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
