In the first quarter of 2026, Trump Media & Technology Group reported a substantial net loss of $405.9 million, a significant increase from a loss of $31.7 million in the same period last year. The company attributed this downturn primarily to unrealized losses linked to its cryptocurrency investments, particularly Bitcoin and Cronos tokens.
The firm experienced $244 million in unrealized losses from Bitcoin, which it purchased at an average price of $108,519 per coin during last summer's peak. As of March 31, Trump Media held 9,542 Bitcoin with a cost basis of $1.13 billion, but their fair value had plummeted to approximately $647 million. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin's recent recovery has slightly improved its worth to around $770 million.
Additionally, the company owns 756 million Cronos tokens, initially acquired for $113.9 million, but valued at only $53 million at the end of the quarter. Notably, Trump Media did maintain a positive operating cash flow of $17.9 million, aided by selling options related to its pledged Bitcoin.
