Trump Media And Crypto.com Partner To Launch $6.42B ‘Saylor-Style’ Crypto Treasury

Trump Media and Technology Group has announced a $6.42 billion deal with Crypto.com to create a publicly traded crypto treasury firm via a SPAC merger. The partners will focus on accumulating CRO – Crypto.com’s native token. But what is a SPAC Merger? Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) are formed to raise capital through an IPO, which can then be used to acquire or merge with another company.

As TMTG announced on 26 August 2025, “Trump Media Group CRO Strategy will use its funding to establish a digital asset treasury of CRO, the native token of the Cronos blockchain ecosystem.”

Interestingly, back in May 2025, Trump Media announced a $2.5 billion deal with Crypto.com for its Bitcoin treasury. TMTG’s latest $6.42 billion announcement also follows Michael Saylor’s Strategy playbook that began accumulating Bitcoin in 2020.

Commenting on the partnership, TMTG Chairman and CEO Devin Nunes said, “Financial markets are becoming increasingly digital every day, and companies of all sizes and sectors are strategically planning for the future by establishing digital asset treasuries anchored by assets that have created a comprehensive value proposition and are poised for even greater utility.”

CRO rallied as it registered intraday gains in the 20-30%. Furthermore, Tump Media stock (DJT) ticked higher. However, Yorkville dipped modestly.

Crypto.com Co-Founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said, “The sheer size and structure of this project will encompass more than the entire current market capitalization of CRO, with the additional commitments of over $400 million in cash and a further $5 billion line of credit facility to acquire additional CRO.”

“This, combined with share lock-ups by each party and the treasury’s validator strategy, make it a unique and compelling offering compared to all other digital asset treasuries,” Marszalek added.
