Trump’s Truth Social Files for Bitcoin ETF, Signaling Deeper Crypto Push

In a significant move into the cryptocurrency sector, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, has officially filed for a spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) named the “Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.” The filing, submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), aims to list the ETF on the NYSE Arca exchange.

The proposed ETF is designed to directly hold Bitcoin, offering investors exposure to the cryptocurrency’s price movements without the complexities of direct ownership. Yorkville America Digital is set to manage the ETF, with Crypto.com designated as the custodian and execution agent.

This initiative aligns with TMTG’s broader strategy to expand into financial services under the “Truth.Fi” brand. Earlier this year, the company filed trademarks for various ETFs and separately managed accounts (SMAs) focusing on themes like American energy independence and manufacturing growth.

Despite entering a competitive market with established players like BlackRock and Fidelity, TMTG’s move reflects a growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency investments. The SEC’s decision on the ETF application is anticipated by January 2026.
