Trump Media and Technology Group's (DJT) bitcoin holdings shrank during the second quarter of the year as falling crypto prices saddled the Truth Social parent with $360.6 million in losses in the first half of the year.

The company held 9,477.16 bitcoin BTC$63,987.06 with a fair value of $557.1 million as of June 30, according to its quarterly filing Monday. That's down from 9,542.16 BTC at the end of March, translating to a 65 BTC decline in holdings through the quarter.

Trump Media's Crypto.com-linked cronos CRO$0.04731 holdings remained unchanged at roughly 756.1 million tokens, but their fair value fell to $40.6 million from $68 million at the end of 2025.

A significant chunk of the company's bitcoin was also tied up as collateral. Trump Media, which is majority owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, had 4,260.73 BTC pledged against convertible notes and another 2,077.34 BTC pledged for its bitcoin options strategy as of June 30.

U.S. President Donald Trump owns a significant stake in the trust, which is controlled by Donald Trump, Jr., one of the president’s children.

The results landed only days after Trump Media pared back parts of its crypto ambitions.

On Friday, Trump Media, crypto exchange Crypto.com and Yorkville Acquisition said they mutually terminated their proposed business combination to establish Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, a publicly traded company designed to build a large CRO treasury.

The companies cited "prevailing market conditions, and shifting business and stakeholder priorities." They also abandoned a separate partnership under which Crypto.com would have serviced certain planned Yorkville America exchange-traded funds, though Yorkville America said its existing and future ETF plans otherwise remain unchanged.
