TRUMP BOUGHT THE DIP? 🏦

BREAKING: Trump Media’s bitcoin stash tops $2 billion as company deepens crypto‑treasury push

BTC

It’s official: Trump Media now holds over $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities, according to filings released Monday.

That makes it the fifth-largest public BTC treasury on the planet, right behind Riot Platforms.

BTC Treasury

And the timing? Couldn’t be louder.

Just days ago, Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law - the most aggressive pro-crypto legislation ever passed by a U.S. president.

“We’re rigorously implementing our strategy… These assets help ensure our Company’s financial freedom… and create synergies with the utility token we’re planning to introduce.”

Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes

The company first floated its Bitcoin play back in May with a $2.5B capital raise.

Critics shrugged.

But Now?

66% of Trump Media’s $3B in liquid assets are sitting in BTC.

And they’re not done…

The firm plans to deploy another $300 million into BTC-linked options, with plans to convert into spot as conditions allow.

The result?

Trump Media stock is up 5.34% over the past five days, and their name now sits alongside giants like Tesla, Block, and Strategy.

Trump

From legislation to balance sheets, Trump’s crypto pivot is fully underway.

The president is literally stacking Bitcoin for his own company.

Now that’s bullish. 😎

The Key to a $1.3T Opportunity

A new trend in real estate is making the most expensive properties obtainable. It’s called co-ownership, and it’s revolutionizing the $1.3T vacation home market.

The company leading the trend? Pacaso. Created by the founder behind a $120M prior exit, Pacaso turns underutilized luxury properties into fully-managed assets and makes them accessible to the broadest possible market.

The result? More than $1b in transactions and service fees, 2,000+ happy homeowners, and over $110m in gross profits for Pacaso.

With rapid international growth and 41% gross profit growth last year, Pacaso is hitting their stride. They even recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest in Pacaso as a private company and join notable investors like Maveron and Greycroft for just $2.90/share.

ETHEREUM IS GOING MUCH HIGHER 📈

Continuing on from our Ethereum bull posting yesterday…

Two of the most respected ETH bulls just chimed in.

According to them?

Ethereum is going much, much higher.

Anthony Sassano

Anthony Sassano - crypto OG, multi-cycle veteran, and founder of The Daily Gwei - tweeted:

sassano1

If you don’t know Sassano, he’s been deep in Ethereum since the beginning.

And when Anthony points something out like this - you listen. It’s a big deal.

Peter Thiel - legendary billionaire investor and co-founder of PayPal - just bought a 9.1% stake in Bitmine Immersion Technologies.

That’s Tom Lee’s ETH-focused treasury vehicle - think MicroStrategy for Ethereum.

Why does it matter?

Because when someone like Peter Thiel makes a move… he’s not chasing headlines.

He’s positioning early - before the crowd catches on.

But he’s not alone.

DCInvestor, another legendary ETH voice, dropped this banger:

dc1

This cycle?

Things are totally different for Ethereum:

  • Wall Street is buying ETH by the billions

  • ETF buyers are waiting in the wings

  • Traditional finance is racing onchain

  • Stablecoins & DeFi are largely legalized

Bottom line?

The demand is institutional. The narrative is cleaner. The rails are built.

And according to the OGs…

“Pretty safe to say we’re going much, MUCH higher.”

And while Bitcoin led the charge with a massive $2.2 billion in flows…

Ethereum stole the spotlight.

The world’s second-largest crypto saw a record-breaking $2.12 billion in inflows - nearly double its previous high of $1.2 billion.

Even more impressive?

Solana, XRP and SUI also experienced notable inflows of $39.1m, $36.1m and $9.3m respectively.

As we’ve been saying for weeks

The institutions aren’t just coming.

They’re already here. 🚀
