Token Airdrop for Shareholders of Trump Media Confirmed, Featuring New Utility for Truth Social
Trump Media and Technology Group has announced its intention to distribute a new digital token to its shareholders, representing a significant step in the company’s gradual move into blockchain-related products associated with its media and financial services ecosystem.
In a press release, the organization stated that it plans to issue the token to shareholders of its publicly traded stock, DJT, in collaboration with Crypto.com.
The distribution will utilize Crypto.com’s infrastructure, with the token anticipated to operate on the Cronos blockchain, which is engineered to facilitate high transaction throughput and interoperability across various networks.
Trump Media Clarifies Airdrop Token Does Not Imply Ownership
As per the announcement, each ultimate beneficial owner of DJT shares will be eligible to receive one digital token for every whole share they possess, starting from a record date that will be determined in the future.
Trump Media indicated that token holders may receive rewards periodically throughout the year, which could encompass benefits or discounts related to its offerings, including Truth Social, the Truth+ streaming service, and its prediction market product, Truth Predict.

The company stressed that the token is not designed to serve as equity or a financial security. Trump Media clarified that the digital asset will not signify ownership in the company or any other entity, and that holders should not anticipate rewards linked to profits generated through managerial activities.
According to the disclosure, the token may also be non-transferable and cannot be converted into cash.
Trump Media’s chief executive and chairman Devin Nunes stated that the company views the token as a means to reward shareholders while operating within what it described as an improving regulatory environment.
He noted that the company intends to leverage Crypto.com’s blockchain technology for the distribution process. Trump Media mentioned that additional details regarding the issuance of the token are expected to be shared in the upcoming year.

The announcement coincides with a resurgence in Trump Media’s stock activity, as DJT shares were recently trading at approximately $13.30, reflecting an increase of about 5.85% on the day, indicating investor interest following the token announcement.
As Revenue Stabilizes, Trump Media Delves Further into Digital Assets
From a financial perspective, the company continues to report modest revenue alongside significant losses. In the trailing twelve months of 2025, Trump Media reported revenue of $3.67 million, a slight rise of about 1.6% from 2024, when revenue amounted to $3.61 million.

However, this figure remains below the $4.13 million reported in 2023, which was the most robust year in the past three-year span. The data indicates that revenue growth has largely stagnated, with the company facing challenges in significantly expanding its income base.
The token distribution aligns with a broader trend of crypto-related initiatives from Trump Media over the past year.
In April, the company revealed that it was considering the launch of a utility token and a digital wallet as part of an expansion of Truth+, initially positioning the token as a method for paying for streaming subscriptions before potentially broadening its application across other services.

Trump Media has also ventured into financial products through its Truth.Fi brand. In January, the company announced intentions to invest in Bitcoin and other digital assets and to collaborate with Crypto.com on launching crypto-focused exchange-traded funds.

In July, Trump Media disclosed that it had invested $300 million in options related to Bitcoin securities, aiming to gain exposure to crypto price fluctuations without directly holding the asset.
By November, the company’s increasing exposure to digital assets had also highlighted new risks.
Trump Media reported a quarterly loss of $54.8 million following a decline in Bitcoin prices, which pushed earlier crypto investments underwater and contributed to ongoing earnings pressure.
