該公司週二表示，特朗普媒體與技術（納斯達克股票代碼：TRUM）將向比特幣投資約25億美元，這是該公司週二表示，更廣泛的舉動，以推進金融領域的收入來源更加多樣化。

The company, which is backed by former President Donald Trump, will raise the funds by selling $1.5 billion in stock at its last closing price and $1.0 billion in convertible notes priced at a 35% premium, it said.

該公司由前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）支持，該公司將以最後的收盤價出售15億美元的股票和10億美元的可轉換票據以35％的保費籌集資金。

The bitcoin will be held on Trump Media’s balance sheet alongside existing cash and short-term investments totaling $759 million as of the end of the first quarter. Crypto platforms Anchorage Digital (NASDAQ:ANC.X) and Crypto.com will provide custody for the bitcoin holdings.

"We view bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom," Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes said, adding that the move is a "big step forward" in the company’s plan to acquire "crown jewel assets consistent with America First principles".

特朗普媒體首席執行官德文·納尼斯（Devin Nunes）說：“我們將比特幣視為財務自由的最高工具。”他補充說，此舉是該公司收購“ Crown Jewel Assets符合美國第一原則一致的“皇冠珠寶資產”計劃中的“重要一步”。

Shares of the company, which is behind Truth Social, a streaming and social media platform, fell 6% in early trading.

Trump Media has been exploring potential mergers and acquisitions as it aims to diversify into financial services. Last month, it reached a binding agreement to launch various retail investment products, including crypto and exchange-traded funds aligned with Trump’s America First policies.

特朗普媒體一直在探索潛在的合併和收購，因為它旨在使金融服務多樣化。上個月，它達成了具有約束力的協議，以推出各種零售投資產品，包括加密貨幣和與特朗普美國第一政策保持一致的交易所交易資金。

The Trump family, long rooted in skyscrapers and country clubs, has opened multiple beachheads in crypto, quickly gaining hundreds of millions of dollars. Those other crypto forays include Trump NFTs, a meme coin, a stake in a newly formed bitcoin producer called American Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency exchange World Liberty Financial.

長期以來，特朗普家族紮根於摩天大樓和鄉村俱樂部，在加密貨幣中開設了多個海灘頭，迅速獲得了數億美元。那些其他加密貨幣包括特朗普NFT，模因硬幣，一個新成立的比特幣生產商的股份，稱為美國比特幣和加密貨幣交易所世界自由金融。

But the crypto push has attracted scrutiny from lawmakers, including Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who last month asked the U.S. securities regulator about its plans to supervise ETFs to be launched by Trump Media.

但是，加密貨幣的推動力吸引了包括民主黨參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）在內的立法者的審查，他上個月詢問了美國證券監管機構的計劃，以監督特朗普媒體啟動ETF的計劃。
