In the short term, $105 million worth of CRO—about 685,427,004 tokens—is allocated to Trump Media’s balance sheet.
Details of Trump Media’s CRO treasury
The new entity plans to purchase approximately $1 billion in CRO tokens, which would represent roughly 19% of CRO’s current market capitalization—about 6.3 billion tokens.
Overall financing includes a $200 million cash raise, $220 million in mandatory convertible notes, and a $5 billion credit facility from Yorkville to support the publicly traded CRO treasury.
“The ultimate size and structure of this program will exceed the current market capitalization of CRO, with additional cash commitments of more than $400 million and a $5 billion credit facility to acquire further CRO,” said Kris Marszalek, co‑founder and CEO of Crypto.com. “Combined with share locks by both parties and a treasury governance verification strategy, this creates a unique and attractive proposition compared with other digital asset treasuries.”
The collaboration between Trump Media and Crypto.com expands the companies’ partnership and places Cronos among the top altcoins positioned for treasury deployment.
At the time of writing, CRO traded as high as $0.20, rising sharply while many other cryptocurrencies face downward pressure.
