Las Vegas was buzzing with crypto enthusiasm on May 27 as Donald Trump Jr. took the stage at the Bitcoin 2025 conference to unveil a bold new venture: a $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury under the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMGT). The high-energy announcement signals a deepening commitment to Bitcoin from the Trump camp—and a calculated bet on the future of decentralized finance.
Speaking alongside Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski, Trump Jr. pulled no punches in expressing his bullish outlook. “We’re going to the moon, guys—it’s gonna be awesome,” he said to a roaring crowd. “Stay in, stay strong.”

Trump Jr. detailed TMGT’s multi-pronged crypto strategy, emphasizing partnerships with mining firms like American Bitcoin and DeFi platforms such as World Liberty Financial (WLF). While specific assets were not disclosed, the $2.5 billion Bitcoin treasury drew thunderous applause and underlined the seriousness of the endeavor.
“We’re seriously long on crypto, seriously long on Bitcoin,” Trump Jr. said. “There’s not a lot of people who have done something that big or shown that much commitment.”
He didn’t shy away from critiquing traditional finance either, calling banks “reluctant adapters” that view crypto as a threat. “DeFi is going to change so many aspects of the financial system and create the efficiencies that have been lacking,” he added.
The conference wasn’t short on political firepower either. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a vocal crypto advocate, announced her push for the Bitcoin Act, a legislative move that’s gaining traction. “President Trump supports the bill,” she said, reinforcing the Trump family’s united front on crypto policy.
Trump Jr. concluded with a message aimed at Washington: “Once you create the regulatory framework to keep this activity in America… that’s when the real floodgates open.”
With a multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin treasury in motion and political backing to match, the Trump crypto moon shot could be a pivotal moment in America’s digital finance revolution.
