Truth Social, a platform by Trump Media, ponders over introducing its own cryptocurrency and digital wallet.
Unfiltered Aside: Truth Social, the social media platform born from the Trump Media & Technology Group, is mulling over the prospect of releasing a cryptocurrency token and a digital wallet tied to its Truth+ streaming video service.
Here's the lowdown:
The Skinny on the Situation
- Word on the street is that Truth Social's parent company is eyeing a crypto token integration for a "rewards program."
- This utility token would initially serve as a payment method for Truth+ subscription costs, but may later extend to various other goods and services within the Truth universe.
- Truth Social, the platform of choice for former President Trump, and Truth.Fi, the company's latest foray into fintech, are already no strangers to cryptocurrency connections.
Playing with Crypto: Trump Media's Fintech Gambit

The Red Tape
- In January, Trump Media announced a commitment to pump as much as $250 million of its cash reserves into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies or crypto-related securities.
- If the token plan materializes, it'll join a slew of Trump-associated tokens already in circulation. Case in point: the President's Solana meme coin, which is no stranger to price fluctuations.
Cryptoland's Latest Excitements and Heartaches
- Following the Truth Social shareholder letter, the meme coin aligned with the President plummeted 3% within the hour and 11% in the previous day, putting the kibosh on its record high in January.
