Trump Media Files SEC Applications for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cronos ETFs

TLDR

• Yorkville America Equities filed SEC applications for two new Truth Social-branded crypto ETFs on Friday
• The Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF would offer exposure to both cryptocurrencies in approximately a 60-40 split
• The Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF would invest in and stake CRO tokens from Crypto.com’s blockchain
• Crypto.com will serve as digital asset custodian, liquidity provider, and staking services provider for both funds
• These filings add to Truth Social’s previous crypto ETF applications from June and July 2025, which have not yet launched

Trump Media and Technology Group submitted registration documents for two cryptocurrency ETFs under its Truth Social brand. The filings were submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday through Yorkville America Equities, the asset manager handling Truth Social’s exchange-traded fund products.

The first product is the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF. This fund would track both cryptocurrencies using approximately a 60-40 split between Bitcoin and Ethereum. The ETF plans to provide staking rewards from its Ethereum holdings to investors.

The second filing covers the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF. This fund would invest in CRO, the native token of Crypto.com’s Cronos blockchain. The product aims to generate returns through both price exposure and staking rewards.

Partnership with Crypto.com

Crypto.com will handle custody, liquidity, and staking services for both ETFs if approved. Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, stated the company is pleased to provide these services. The funds would be distributed through Foris Capital US LLC, the SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliated with Crypto.com.

The Cronos-focused ETF uses staking as a key component of its strategy. Staking involves helping to secure proof-of-stake networks and earning rewards in return. This approach could differentiate the fund from passive spot ETFs that only track price movements.

Previous Crypto ETF Filings

Truth Social first entered the crypto ETF space in June 2025. The company filed an S-1 registration statement for a spot bitcoin ETF at that time. In July 2025, another filing followed for a Blue Chip Digital Asset ETF targeting large-cap altcoins including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and CRO.

Neither of those products has launched yet. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas expects them to go live sometime in the next few months.

Both new applications remain subject to SEC approval. The timeline for regulatory review has not been disclosed.

Truth Social’s Investment Portfolio

Truth Social Funds currently offers several “America first” themed ETFs. These include a red state real estate ETF, an American security and defense fund, and an American Icons ETF. The American Icons fund holds shares in companies like Walmart, McDonald’s, and Home Depot.

Yorkville America Equities serves as the investment adviser for all Truth Social-branded funds. The firm focuses on America-first investment strategies across its product line.

Trump Media and Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, is primarily owned by President Donald Trump. Trump Media shares closed at $10.98 on Friday, up 0.9% for the day. The stock has declined nearly 39% over the past six months.

President Trump’s business ties to the crypto sector have created political complications. These relationships are currently among the primary sticking points for advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate. The legislation would establish regulatory oversight for U.S. crypto markets.
