US President Donald Trump\u2019s media group is making a big splash in crypto finance<\/a>. A Chicago trading firm put up $100\u202fmillion to buy 4\u202fmillion shares in Trump Media & Technology Group. That move comes just nine weeks after US regulators closed a probe into the same firm.<\/p>\n

Based on reports, the deal is tied to TMTG\u2019s plan to buy over $2.5\u202fbillion worth of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Big Bet On Trump Coin<\/h2>\n

According to the filing, DRW Investments<\/a> treats Bitcoin like any other corporate asset. The company – founded and controlled by trading mogul Don Wilson – said it has been active in crypto for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

It sees value in holding Bitcoin on its balance sheets. Buying into TMTG was, in its view, a straightforward way to back that idea.<\/p>\n

Institutional Backers Rally<\/h2>\n

Jane Street leads the pack with a $375\u202fmillion stake in the Trump Group<\/a>. That makes it the largest backer so far. Other investors are also lining up.<\/p>\n

Based on reports, TMTG\u2019s goal is to raise $2.5\u202fbillion and use much of that cash to buy Bitcoin. If all goes to plan, the firm could hold over 140,000\u202fBTC at current prices.<\/p>\n

\nRegulatory Milestone Achieved<\/p>\n

On Friday, June 13, the SEC declared TMTG\u2019s registration statement for its Bitcoin Treasury offering effective. That covers 56\u202fmillion new shares of equity and 29\u202fmillion in convertible notes.<\/p>\n

Clearing this step means the company can sell shares and raise the cash it needs. It also subjects TMTG to ongoing SEC reporting and oversight.<\/p>\n

\nVoice Of The Crypto Industry<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a DRW spokesperson called for a fresh look at the SEC and CFTC. The firm argued that the current regulators don\u2019t match the pace of global market changes.<\/p>\n

Over the years, DRW\u2019s crypto arm, Cumberland, bought 70,000\u202fBTC in a US government auction of Silk Road assets. That stash is worth about $7.7\u202fbillion today.<\/p>\n
