TLDR
- TMTG plans to launch a Bitcoin ETF on NYSE Arca.
- The ETF aims to invest up to $250 million in crypto.
- Past Bitcoin ETF approvals led to significant market inflows.
Donald Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the operator of Truth Social, has moved to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF on NYSE Arca. The ETF will be sponsored by Yorkville America Digital, LLC. Yorkville is known for its โAmerica-firstโ approach. Custody for the ETF will be handled by Foris DAX Trust Company, a company linked to Crypto.com.
TMTG confirmed its involvement in this filing through its role with Truth Social. Historically, Trump Media has not been active in the crypto space. In early 2025, TMTG established Truth.Fi with the authority to invest in up to $250 million from its reserves into crypto and related assets.
ETF Filing and Market Implications
The spot Bitcoin ETF will track Bitcoinโs market price, minus any fees or liabilities. This information was detailed in the companyโs SEC filing (Form 19b-4). So far, there have been no official public announcements about this launch from Donald Trump on any social media channel.
This move comes as Trump Media aims to increase its investments in digital assets. Previously, they disclosed plans for a $3 billion investment into the market through a mix of equity and convertible debt.
Impact on Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies
The proposed ETF is set to target Bitcoin specifically. There are references in filings to other cryptocurrencies, but no formal steps have been taken towards launching ETFs for Ethereum or other altcoins.
Past approvals of Bitcoin ETFs from other companies have led to significant financial inflows into Bitcoin, hinting at potential impacts if Trumpโs ETF is approved.
Absence of Influential Reactions
Major crypto figures have yet to comment on this development. Regulators, including the SEC, have not provided any updates or guidance specific to this ETF filing, according to current sources.
Despite no direct comments, the market is abuzz with speculation. This includes communities on different forums discussing the potential impact of Trump Mediaโs involvement in the crypto space.
