Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has finalized a $6.42 billion acquisition deal with Crypto.com, acquiring 684.4 million Cronos (CRO) tokens. This transaction was completed through a 50% stock and 50% cash exchange.
This significant deal allows TMTG to acquire approximately 2% of CRO's circulating supply, with plans to potentially increase this to 19% through a subsidiary. The acquired tokens will be held in Crypto.com's institutional-grade custody and will be used for staking to generate additional revenue for TMTG.
Devin Nunes, CEO and Chairman of TMTG, expressed confidence in the deal, highlighting CRO's potential as a versatile utility token for fast and secure payments. This acquisition signifies a major move by a traditional media company into the digital asset space, potentially influencing the market dynamics of the Cronos token and broader digital asset allocations.
