Trump Media and Technology Group, the company founded by President Donald Trump and parent of Truth Social, announced on Monday that it has acquired approximately $2 billion in bitcoin and bitcoin-related securities as part of its crypto treasury strategy.

This latest acquisition comprises about two-thirds of the company’s $3 billion in liquid assets.

The move came shortly after Trump signed the pro-stablecoin Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law and followed the passage of other crypto-related bills in the U.S. House of Representatives.
