Trump Media Scraps CRO Treasury Plans Amid Market Shifts
Trump Media has ended its planned venture with Crypto.com to accumulate Cronos' native token CRO, citing market conditions and shifting business priorities. The company had aimed to create a publicly traded vehicle focused on accumulating CRO through staking. Under the original structure, Crypto.com would supply $1 billion in CRO and provide access to a $5 billion credit facility.
The broader plan targeted about $6.4 billion in CRO purchases. Trump Media had already purchased $105 million worth of CRO in September 2025 as part of its relationship with Crypto.com, which also included proposed token rewards across Trump Media products.
In addition to the CRO treasury venture, the company has scaled back plans to build Crypto.com-powered prediction markets directly into Truth Social. This move narrows another part of the earlier crypto strategy.
