Trump Media Sells 2,650 BTC at Significant Loss, Holdings Drop to 6,889 BTC

News Flash 2026-05-22 16:44

Trump Media & Technology Group has sold 2,650 bitcoin at a 34% loss, reducing its holdings to 6,889 BTC. The sale, valued at approximately $205 million, was transferred to Crypto.com, leaving the remaining bitcoin holdings significantly below the average cost basis of $108,519 per BTC. This move follows a previous sale of 2,000 BTC in February 2026, as the company continues to liquidate its bitcoin assets. The company's bitcoin strategy, initiated in May 2025, involved acquiring 11,542 BTC at a cost of $1.24 billion. However, the current market price of $78,000 per BTC has resulted in substantial unrealized losses. Trump Media reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $405.9 million, largely due to crypto markdowns. The company's financial pressures are compounded by its limited ability to maneuver its remaining bitcoin holdings, with a significant portion tied up as collateral or in covered-call options.
