Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) announced on Friday that it is considering spinning off its social media platform Truth Social into an independent publicly traded company. The ownership of the company’s cryptocurrency-related plans after the spin-off remains unclear, and company representatives have not provided further details.
Truth Social Spin-Off Structure: SpinCo and Business Retention Logic
According to Trump Media’s announcement, the core logic of the spin-off is “creating shareholder value by establishing multiple companies with distinct strategies.” The specific structure involves integrating Truth Social and related businesses into SpinCo, which will then merge with Texas Ventures III to form an independent publicly traded entity; some assets will remain under Trump Media, though the company has not disclosed the details.
After the announcement, DJT stock did not see a boost and fell about 2.10% alongside the broader market that day. Over the past six months, it has declined approximately 40%, with recent trading around $10.73.
Key Points of Trump Media’s Business Restructuring
SpinCo: Consolidates social media businesses like Truth Social, plans to merge with Texas Ventures III
Partial Retention: Some assets remain under Trump Media, specific details undisclosed
TAE Technologies Merger: The planned fusion with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion company, will occur before the SpinCo split
DJT Shareholder Returns: Shares of the new entity will be distributed to existing DJT shareholders prior to the merger
Cryptocurrency Strategy Uncertainty: Current Status of Bitcoin ETF and Airdrop Plans
Although the ownership of crypto-related businesses remains unclear after the spin-off, Trump Media has been very active in the crypto space over the past year. The company previously attempted to include $200 million worth of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities on its balance sheet, and last year applied for Bitcoin ETFs and a blue-chip crypto ETF covering Ethereum, Solana, and XRP tokens.
This year, it further submitted joint applications for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs under the Truth Social brand, as well as an ETF centered on Crypto.com’s CRO token, collaborating with Crypto.com to develop a digital token planned for airdrop to DJT shareholders to promote crypto payments within its ecosystem. However, despite the deadline for broker participants to provide shareholder information passing earlier this month, the token has yet to be distributed.
Following the spin-off announcement, the fate of these crypto plans—whether they belong to SpinCo or remain with Trump Media—is entirely opaque, representing a major uncertainty for the market. Notably, Trump Media’s Bitcoin mining subsidiary, American Bitcoin, recently reported a net loss of $59.45 million in Q4, compared to a profit of $3.48 million in the same period last year, indicating that weak Bitcoin prices are materially impacting the company’s overall crypto strategy.

A: It remains unclear. The company has not disclosed whether its crypto plans are assigned to SpinCo or retained by Trump Media, and representatives have not responded to inquiries. The spin-off adds significant uncertainty to the future of these plans, and investors holding DJT stock awaiting the airdrop tokens should continue to monitor upcoming announcements.
