Trump Media and Technology Group Corp., recently filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that will track Bitcoin's price performance. The ETF, named Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, is structured as a Nevada business trust and will primarily hold Bitcoin assets. The S-1 form disclosed that the assets will be managed by Foris DAX Trust Company, which will act as a custodian, while Yorkville America Digital, LLC will serve as the sponsor for the ETF trading under NYSE Arca.
The filing indicated that shares of the ETF would be available to the public at different prices, aligned with the current trading price of Bitcoin. Although this development provides investors with a regulated route for Bitcoin exposure, the Trust also highlighted key risks, such as potential loss of private keys, reliance on blockchain and Internet technologies, regulatory pressures affecting mining activities, and risks related to network protocols.
On a related note, Donald Trump Jr. recently mentioned that TMTG plans to accumulate a substantial amount of Bitcoin, marking a significant step towards integrating cryptocurrency into their operations. He expressed confidence in crypto and Bitcoin's transformative potential in the finance sector, stating that the market is poised for significant growth. Eric Trump echoed these sentiments, criticizing traditional finance and lauding the efficiencies that crypto could provide.
