Donald Trump’s Media Company to Terminate Crypto.com Deal

Trump Media said the digital asset treasury market has become saturated as CRO fell as much as 5%, according to market data.

  • On Friday, Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville Acquisition mutually terminated plans for the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, citing prevailing market conditions and shifting business priorities.
  • Interim CEO Kevin McGurn told Axios the digital asset treasury market has become saturated, forcing the company to pivot toward media, data licensing, and completing its proposed merger with fusion-energy firm TAE.
  • Trump Media is also walking away from a partnership for Crypto.com-serviced ETFs from Yorkville America and scrapping plans to build prediction markets directly into Truth Social.
  • CRO fell as much as 5% following the announcement, while the company moved 2,628 BTC worth about $165 million to addresses associated with Crypto.com earlier this week.
  • The retreat coincides with the CLARITY Act stalling in Washington amid debate over ethics and conflicts tied to President Donald Trump's crypto ventures, as Trump Media unwinds its $105 million CRO purchase from September 2025.
