Cronos rises as Trump Media aims for a $6.4 billion CRO treasury
The formation of Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, Inc. — positioned to become the largest CRO treasury strategy worldwide — triggered the 26% jump in the Crypto.com token.
On August 26, 2025, Trump Media & Technology Group, operator of Truth Social, Truth+ and Truth.Fi, announced it had signed a cooperation and purchase agreement with Crypto.com.
The companies agreed to integrate Crypto.com’s digital-wallet infrastructure and CRO into Trump Media’s platforms.
Under the partnership, CRO gains significant utility: Trump Media will not only add the altcoin as a rewards mechanism on Truth Social and Truth+, but will also move forward with a $6.42 billion initiative to build a CRO treasury.

A short-term allocation of $105 million worth of CRO, totaling approximately 685,427,004 CRO tokens, is expected to be held on Trump Media’s balance sheet.
Details of Trump Media’s CRO treasury
The new entity plans to acquire $1 billion worth of CRO tokens, representing about 19% of CRO’s total market capitalization — roughly 6.3 billion tokens.
The overall funding package includes $200 million in cash, $220 million in mandatory exercise warrants, and a $5 billion equity line of credit from Yorkville to support the publicly listed CRO treasury.
“The size and structure of this project will encompass more than CRO’s entire current market capitalization, with additional commitments of over $400 million in cash and an additional $5 billion credit facility to acquire further CRO,” said Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com. “This, combined with equity locks from each party and a treasury validation strategy, makes it a unique and compelling offering compared with other digital-asset treasuries.”
The partnership extends the collaboration between Trump Media and Crypto.com and positions Cronos among the primary altcoins targeted for treasury accumulation.
At the time of writing, CRO traded as high as $0.20, a sharp uptick as many other cryptocurrencies faced downward pressure.
