Trump Media and Technology Group made a surprising move with its Bitcoin holdings, just one day after boosting its crypto reserves.

On Wednesday, the company transferred 2,000 Bitcoin — worth around $174.76 million — which brought its total stash down to under 10,000 coins. This shift came right after a big purchase the day before, when blockchain analytics firm Arkham reported that Trump Media had acquired 451 Bitcoin.

That earlier buy pushed the company’s holdings up to 11,542 Bitcoin, valued at over $1 billion at the time. This temporarily made Trump Media the 11th-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, according to data from BitcoinTreasuriesNet.

So far, the company hasn’t explained why it moved the Bitcoin. It’s unclear whether it sold some of its coins or just moved them to another wallet. Either way, the market didn’t react much — Bitcoin’s price stayed mostly stable. At the time of the transfer, Bitcoin was trading at $86,828, down just 0.83% in 24 hours. It’s still about 31% below its all-time high of $126,080 from October 6, 2025.

This Bitcoin activity came during a big week for Trump Media’s stock (DJT), which jumped over 30% after announcing a major merger. The company is joining forces with TAE Technologies, a leader in nuclear fusion research. The deal is all-stock and values the combined business at more than $6 billion.

With this merger, Trump Media is shifting focus — moving beyond digital media into energy and advanced tech. The plan is to build powerful infrastructure for artificial intelligence operations, powered by clean fusion energy. This shows a long-term strategy to get involved in cutting-edge technologies.

At the same time, Trump Media is expanding its crypto plans. The company is working on launching a Truth Social-branded cryptocurrency ETF (exchange-traded fund). If approved by regulators, this fund would follow both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Crypto.com would handle custody and trades, while Yorkville America Digital would sponsor the ETF.

If successful, this move would give Trump Media a stronger position in the crypto world — not just as an investor in Bitcoin but also as a provider of investment products tied to digital assets.
