Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. DJT said Tuesday it was contemplating the launch of a utility token for users accessing its Truth Social ecosystem.
What Happened: In a shareholder letter, TMTG outlined its key products and near-term roadmap, focusing on the Truth Social and Truth+ video streaming platforms.
The company stated it was working on a token within a Truth Digital wallet that could be used to pay for a Truth+ subscription initially and then used to access other products and services in the ecosystem.
TMTG didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment on additional details about the proposed token.
Why It Matters: TMTG, co-founded and majority-owned by President Donald Trump, has deepened its involvement in the cryptocurrency world lately, most notably through a high-profile partnership with cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com to introduce a series of exchange-traded funds, including ones tracking cryptocurrencies.
Entities linked to Trump and his family have increasingly focused on a crypto-centric business portfolio, with a strategic bet on Bitcoin BTC/USD mining, following their foray into decentralized finance with World Liberty Financial and the Official Trump TRUMP/USD meme coin.
Price Action: Trump Media stock fell 0.12% in overnight trading after closing 3.29% lower at $24.98 on Tuesday, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Year-to-date, the stock has plunged 26.74%
