Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), associated with the US President Donald Trump and owning the Truth Social social network, will attract $ 2.5 billion for the formation of a reserve in bitcoins.

TMTG signed agreements with 50 institutional investors on private placement of $ 2.5 billion. The transaction includes $ 1.5 billion in the form of ordinary shares and $ 1 billion in the form of convertible bonds with a zero coupon. Bitcoins will be stored through Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital. The transaction should be closed until May 29, if there are no regulatory obstacles.
