Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent entity of the Truth Social platform, the Truth Plus content streaming service, and the just-launched asset management and ETF service under the Truth.Fi banner, has crossed an important milestone today by formally launching its asset management and thematic investment service, hoping to diversify its currently meager revenue sources.
With just 646,000 daily visits, Truth Social - the X-like echo chamber of sorts wholly owned by Trump Media and Technology Group - barely makes any money. In fact, for the year that ended on the 31st of December, Trump Media and Technology Group reported just $3.6 million in sales, with actual billings of just ~$200,000.
To diversify its revenues, Trump Media and Technology Group's board approved back in January the diversion of up to $250 million from its then-cash reserve of around $700 million towards setting up customized Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) and ETFs under the Truth.Fi banner.
Today, Trump Media has officially launched this service in partnership with the asset management firm, Yorkville America Equities, and the provider of thematic investment solutions, Index Technologies Group:
The three firms have created a strategic partnership and launched a new suite of Truth Social-branded Separately Managed Accounts ("SMAs"). These investment strategies offer investors access to curated, thematic investment strategies rooted in American values and priorities.
The initial lineup of SMA strategies includes:
Faith & Values
Liberty & Security
Energy Independence
Made in America
Of course, Trump Media also recently partnered with Crypto.com to offer a variety of crypto-related ETFs under its Truth.Fi brand, in conjunction with Yorkville advisors.
Under the arrangement, "Crypto.com will support the backend technology, provide custody, and supply the cryptocurrencies for the ETFs, which are anticipated to include a unique ETF basket of cryptocurrencies incorporating Bitcoin, Cronos, and other crypto assets."
The CEO of Crypto.com recently noted that the envisaged ETFs will include one that comprises "the first of its kind basket of tokens including CRO." These crypto-focused ETFs are expected to launch later this year following regulatory approval, and will also be widely available internationally.
Do note that Trump Media's board has also approved the creation of a "strategic acquisition fund with select investors" to explore "opportunities to partner, merge with and/or acquire other participants in the growing America First Economy ..."
At the time of writing, Trump Media and Technology Group shares are flat in pre-market trading. So far this year, the erstwhile high-flying stock is down over 44 percent.
