Trump Media officially submitted SEC documents: plans to launch Truth brand utility Token and digital Wallet, encryption layout accelerates.

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has officially submitted documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), revealing its plan to launch a brand utility token (Truth Token) based on the Truth social platform and a supporting digital wallet. The token will initially serve as a payment tool for the subscription-based Truth+ service, with the potential to expand into a broader "Truth ecosystem" in the future. This move marks a further clarification of the company's encryption strategic roadmap following its significant allocation of Bitcoin assets and application for a Crypto Assets ETF.

【SEC document confirms for the first time, Token empowers the Truth ecosystem】 According to the latest SEC quarterly filing, Trump Media clearly plans to launch a Utility Token named "Truth" and the "Truth Digital Wallet." This marks the project's first appearance in official financial disclosures, having previously only been hinted at in the company's letter to shareholders. The Token will be part of a larger "reward program" system, with its initial function allowing users to pay for their streaming service Truth+ subscription.

[Ecological Expansion Blueprint, Blockchain Technology Implicit Within] Trump Media hinted in the document that the Truth Token may be used more broadly in its "Truth ecosphere" within future products and services, demonstrating an intention to build a decentralized social ecosystem. Although the company avoids directly calling the asset a "Crypto Assets", the wording in the document strongly suggests that its underlying technology will involve blockchain infrastructure technology. This is a key step for the company to deepen its encryption strategy and fully transform into the digital assets sector.

【Encryption Layout: Multiple Lines of Progression: Positions, ETF, and Token Issuance】 Trump media's encryption moves have been intensive recently:

• Bitcoin Heavy Positioning: In July, it attracted market attention when the company allocated $2 billion to Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities, placing it among the top five publicly listed companies in terms of Bitcoin holdings.
• Financing and Collateral: Previously raised $2.4 billion through private placement financing, of which $1 billion is classified as restricted collateral assets for convertible notes.
• ETF Layout: The financial technology division Truth. Fi has applied for multiple cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including Bitcoin ETF, Ethereum ETF, and ETF products that track the "Crypto Blue Chip Index."

[Financial Performance: Cash Flow Positive but Still Showing Losses] Despite the company achieving a positive operating cash flow of $2.3 million for the first time this quarter, it still recorded a net loss of $20 million. The company explained that the loss was primarily due to equity incentive expenses and costs related to the SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) merger in 2024.

[CEO's Position: The Weapon Against "Financial Scrutiny"] The company's CEO Devin Nunes positioned efforts in the crypto space as a defensive mechanism aimed at combating what he describes as "financial scrutiny and discrimination" from traditional financial institutions.

【Crypto industry supports Trump: donations exceed $26 million】 The latest released campaign finance documents show that the crypto assets industry has donated over $26 million to Donald Trump this year. The main flow is to the super political action committee supporting Trump, "MAGA Inc." The donors include:

• Lead Investors: Blockchain.com ($5 million), venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz (each $3 million), Gemini Trust (nearly $3 million).
• Personal Donations: Gemini co-founders Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss (each $500,000).
• Other large holders: Ondo Finance ($2.1 million), Paradigm ($1.2 million).

【Trump's personal crypto assets are substantial】 Crypto Assets have become an important part of Trump's personal wealth:

• TMTG Stock Value: The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates that the value of the TMTG stocks held is approximately $2.2 billion, accounting for one-third of their total wealth ($6.6 billion).
• Crypto Assets Appreciation: It is reported that his broader Crypto Assets investments have appreciated by at least $620 million in recent months.
• Team Crypto Holdings: It is worth noting that, according to reports, nearly 70 nominees and officials from the Trump administration hold Crypto Assets or invest in blockchain companies, with amounts ranging from small sums to over $120 million.

Conclusion: Trump Media has officially submitted SEC filings disclosing the Truth Token plan, which is a key move in its strategy to build the "Truth Ecosystem." This, combined with its heavy investments in Bitcoin and a series of actions such as laying out a crypto ETF, demonstrates a strong commitment to embracing the crypto space. At the same time, the cryptocurrency industry's substantial donations to Trump and associated political forces, along with his team's extensive holdings of crypto assets, highlight the unique position of crypto issues in the 2024 U.S. elections and their potential influence on the direction of crypto asset policies and regulations. Whether the Truth Token can successfully launch within a compliant framework and activate its social ecosystem will serve as an important case for observing the development of political concept cryptocurrency.
