Tron IPO News: Tron Inc. Deal Gives Justin Sun’s Father Control of Public Firm Via $100M Token Deal

  • SRM Entertainment, a Nasdaq-listed company, announced on Monday a $100 million private investment to purchase TRON tokens through a reverse merger.
  • The deal arose amid a legal case where Justin Sun previously faced SEC securities fraud charges and involved a Securities Purchase Agreement paying entirely in TRX tokens.
  • SRM is set to change its name to Tron Inc. and plans to issue a combination of preferred stock and warrants that collectively value the transaction at as much as $210 million. Justin Sun will serve as an advisor, while Weike Sun is expected to assume control of the company's board.
  • Shares of SRM surged 460% to about $140 million market cap after the announcement, while TRX tokens rallied above $0.27 despite a 2.5% recent dip, and Dominari Securities, affiliated with the Trump family, arranged the financing.
  • The transaction enables TRON's public listing in the US, positions Tron-aligned advisors in governance, and reflects a strategic effort by Sun to strengthen ties with the Trump family amid a broader crypto market rally.
