Tech Company With Chinese Ties Wants to Buy $300 Million in $TRUMP Coin

  • GD Culture Group, a small New York-based tech company with Chinese ties, announced plans on May 12, 2025 to buy $300 million worth of Official Trump memecoin and Bitcoin.
  • The company faces financial struggles and zero revenue last year, and the announcement follows a similar move by Freight Technologies Inc. To acquire Trump's memecoin for influence.
  • GD Culture Group operates an e-commerce business mainly on TikTok and has only eight employees, raising money from an undisclosed British Virgin Islands investor through a stock sale to fund the crypto purchases.
  • The stock price of GD Culture Group jumped 12% immediately after the announcement while the memecoin TRUMP traded near $13.16, amid concerns about ethical conflicts and political influence raised by experts.
  • This purchase could create ethical and legal issues as it potentially enriches the president’s family during ongoing negotiations over TikTok’s US operations, highlighting foreign entities’ attempts to curry favor.
