Trump Media plans multibillion raise to acquire bitcoin.

Trump Media, the company behind Truth Social, announced plans to raise $2.5 billion through a stock offering. Part of the proceeds may be allocated to buying bitcoin. This puts them in line with a growing list of companies treating bitcoin as a hedge against inflation or a long-term strategic asset.

More and more companies are putting part of their reserves into bitcoin. But this move stands out — not just because of the amount involved, but because of the political weight behind it. When a company so closely tied to Donald Trump leans toward bitcoin, it signals a deeper shift in how the asset is viewed at the highest levels.

The US can buy bitcoin without taxpayer money.

At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, David Sacks revealed that the US government could potentially acquire bitcoin without costing taxpayers a dime. Sacks, now serving as Trump’s crypto and AI czar, said budget-neutral pathways have been identified to add bitcoin to the country’s strategic reserves.

Whether it happens now depends on two key players in the White House: Howard Lutnick, responsible for financing policy, and Scott Bessent, who now serves as Secretary of the Treasury. If they’re on board, the plan could move forward. There are no commitments yet, but the fact that this is being discussed openly at such a level shows how real bitcoin’s political relevance has become.

Major US banks working on joint stablecoin.

A group of major US banks is in early talks to launch a shared stablecoin. While discussions are still in the early stages, the move could reshape digital payments — with traditional banks directly entering the stablecoin space.

The timing is no coincidence. New legislation on stablecoins is expected in the US soon. If it passes, it could open the door for banks to issue fully regulated digital dollars. That even the biggest names in banking are preparing for this shift says a lot: stablecoins are becoming the backbone of tomorrow’s payment infrastructure.
