The post Donald Trump’s Truth Social files S-1 for a Bitcoin ETF appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (DJT) has filed an S-1 registration with the SEC for the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF (B.T.). This ETF, if approved, would let regular investors buy into Bitcoin in a simpler way, even though the market is already crowded with many other Bitcoin investment funds.
The Truth Social Bitcoin ETF could become the next big thing for retail investors eager to get a piece of Bitcoin.
Truth Social File For Bitcoin ETF Application
Trump Media isn’t just about social media anymore. After building the Truth Social platform and exploring other tech projects like Truth+ streaming and Truth.Fi fintech, it’s now setting its sights on Bitcoin.
The ETF will be sponsored by Yorkville America Digital, which calls itself an “America-First” asset manager. Crypto.com will play a key role too, acting as the Bitcoin custodian, main executor, and liquidity provider.
But before any of this happens, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has to give the green light.
If the SEC approves the plan, the ETF will be listed on NYSE Arca. That’s when investors will have a new, easy way to bet on Bitcoin’s ups and downs—using Trump’s trusted brand name.
A Small Company Entering a Big Field
This new ETF shows Trump Media’s big push into the crypto world, using the Truth Social brand name to grab attention. The New York Stock Exchange Group has already filed regulatory paperwork for this ETF, signaling that things are moving forward quickly.
Support and Criticism Over BTC ETF
President Trump has spoken many times in support of Bitcoin, calling it a sign of financial freedom. Many of his supporters might see this ETF as a trusted way to get involved in Bitcoin investing.
However, some critics worry that this could personally benefit Trump because of his name’s connection to the fund. The White House has said Trump himself is no longer directly tied to the businesses that use his name. Still, there are concerns about the ethics of such a close link.
What Next?
Trump Media’s move comes at a time when there are already plenty of Bitcoin ETFs out there. But the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF stands out because of Trump’s name and the way it’s packaged to appeal to his loyal base.
If the SEC gives the green light, this new ETF could quickly become a favorite for retail investors who trust Trump’s vision—and who want an easier way to invest in Bitcoin
