Trump has no official position at Trump Media and does not advise it on corporate policy. But he is the company's largest shareholder, and he and his family have become big crypto boosters over the past year. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Donald Trump has reinvented himself many times over, going from real estate developer to TV personality to world his social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, which is the parent of the president's Truth Social site, is undergoing its own metamorphosis, becoming a major player in the crypto just the past few months, Trump Media has raised $2.5 billion in cash to invest in bitcoin and is working to bring crypto-related exchange traded funds, or ETFs, to has no official position at Trump Media and does not advise it on corporate policy. But he is the company's largest shareholder, and he and his family have become big crypto boosters over the past pivot to crypto highlights the reality of one of the president's highest-profile business interests. Truth Social may serve as Trump's online megaphone, which he uses to attack his enemies, praise his allies and announce executive orders, tariffs and ceasefires. But the 3-year-old social media platform has struggled to generate advertising has made Trump Media, which went public in March 2024, a consistently money-losing company, and its stock has been shedding value since its debut. This year, shares of Trump Media are down 43%.In June, Truth Social had a bit of a moment. Trump amassed more than 10 million followers. And the platform saw a big surge in daily visitors, according to Similarweb, a digital market intelligence Truth Social is still small compared with X, the social platform owned by Elon Musk, Trump's billionaire 80% of the traffic last month to Truth Social's website was to view the comments from the president, according to is one reason Trump Media has struggled to expand its user base and attract advertisers beyond those selling products geared to Trump's base. The Florida-based company with just 29 employees has also never made a big commitment to selling ads and has just a few people on staff charged with that Media incurred a $31 million net loss in the first quarter of this year and has yet to post a profit since going Devine, a Trump Media spokesperson, said, "The New York Times, in a typical partisan and brainless hit piece that reads like it was written by an AI chatbot, fails to note that Trump Media is rigorously fulfilling our plan: build up our core infrastructure, then expand throughout the patriot economy -- while amassing around $3 billion in liquid assets."The company's move into bitcoin has been fast and April, Trump Media entered into a four-year partnership with a Singaporean-based cryptocurrency exchange, to launch at least three ETFs, which are slated to trade on the New York Stock ETF is an investment fund that invests in a particular asset -- stocks, bonds, gold or crypto -- and trades like a stock. New ETFs normally need to be approved by the Securities and Exchange year's end, investors may be able to buy and sell shares of Truth Social Bitcoin ETF and Truth Social Bitcoin Ethereum ETF. (Ethereum is the platform behind the second-most-popular digital asset after bitcoin.) On Tuesday, the company filed for a blended crypto ETF called Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, which will invest in five different crypto Media is just licensing the Truth Social name to promote the securities, according to a company regulatory filing. The filing does not disclose any information about financial remuneration to Trump filing also says any marketing information for the ETFs will carry a disclaimer that says Trump Media does not take a position "regarding the advisability of investing in this fund."Trump Media will be competing with about a dozen other bitcoin-focused ETFs, including one sponsored by iShares, a division of BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm."My guess is they look to compete based on the Trump name," said Bryan Armour, the director of ETF research with Morningstar, an investment research firm. "There's not much to distinguish them."In May, Trump Media said it had raised $2.5 billion to invest in bitcoin by selling stocks and bonds to dozens of hedge funds and the Wall Street trading firm Jane Street Capital. The deal could eventually make Trump Media the fourth-largest public company to hold bitcoin in the world."Trump's connections have likely played a critical role in securing such significant funding," said Vetle Lunde , the head of research for K33, a crypto firm. "This development further entangles Trump's financial interests with the crypto sector."Trump has drawn criticism over his family's deepening involvement with the crypto industry and the light-touch regulatory approach to digital assets adopted by his administration. One of his first steps as president was to signal his strong support for crypto and to rein in the companies donated nearly $18 million to Trump's inaugural committee. The corporate parent of for instance, gave $1 million to the inaugural in March, said the SEC had notified it that an investigation into the platform's activities had been closed. In all, the SEC has dismissed or closed about a dozen matters involving crypto companies since Trump was sworn into representatives did not return requests for comment."The concern you come back to with all Trump products are whether they are being used as a way to curry favor with the administration," said Hilary Allena professor of law at the American University Washington College of Law who has specialized in crypto 115 million shares are worth about $2 billion -- though at the stock's peak his stake was worth nearly $6 billion. Trump's shares are held in a trust managed by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who is a Trump Media board member and crypto proponent himself."President Trump's assets are in a trust managed by his children," said Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson. "There are no conflicts of interest."Some individual investors in Trump Media and regular Truth Social users are open to seeing if the shift to crypto Nedohin, a part-time pastor who has been one of Trump Media's biggest proponents, said he had personal and religious objections to crypto, which he said had a "scammy culture." But he recognizes the company needs to do something to make money and enable Truth Social to survive."Social media is not actually a profitable business," said Nedohin, who started a popular message board on Truth Social that was focused on the company's prospects. "This administration is extremely pro-cryptocurrency, and thus bitcoin is likely to rise significantly during President Trump's term."Greg Bowden, a supporter of Trump and a day trader, said he had bought and sold Trump Media shares on and off over the past year. He said he had last sold Trump Media shares around the time of Trump's inauguration, but would look to get back into it when it gets over $17. It's currently trading around $ said moving into bitcoin made sense strategically for Trump Media, given the growing popularity of some investors in Trump Media are buying in as a show of support for the president, Bowden has no illusions about Trump's ultimate goals when it comes to all of his business ventures."Trump's in it for the money," he said.

Bengaluru firm's remote job offer turns sour after techie uncovers hidden travel costs
A software developer from New Delhi recently took to Reddit to share a concerning experience with a Bengaluru-based startup, and his post quickly gained widespread attention. The professional, who has been working in the tech industry for four years, was offered a remote Software Development Engineer (SDE1) position specializing in frontend development. However, during the final round of discussions with the company's HR department, he was met with unexpected terms that raised serious red flags. Startling Terms Unveiled in Final HR Round The developer recounted that although the job had been advertised as fully remote, the company introduced a mandatory requirement for quarterly in-person meetings in Bengaluru, each lasting between 7 to 10 days. These trips would not be reimbursed, meaning he would have to shoulder the entire travel and accommodation costs despite being based in New Delhi. This sudden revelation came only during the concluding HR interaction, with no prior mention in earlier discussions. Adding to the confusion, the company also informed him of a strict Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. Under this rule, he would have to provide his own laptop for work. Furthermore, he was instructed to install certain security protocols on his personal device, purportedly to safeguard company data. According to HR, these installations were not supposed to interfere with personal usage, but were necessary for ensuring security compliance. Community Outcry and Suspicions of Exploitation The Reddit thread, posted in the Developers India subreddit, saw an outpouring of responses, with many users expressing deep concern and advising the developer to proceed with extreme caution. Several commenters labeled the job offer as suspicious, with some outright calling it a scam. Many users pointed out that any reputable company would provide its own work hardware and would never expect employees to install monitoring tools on personal devices. There was strong disapproval of the quarterly travel demand without reimbursement. Users argued that expecting employees to fund their own work-related trips was not only unprofessional but exploitative. Some warned that the software required for security compliance could violate privacy by running undetected in the background and possibly collecting data from the employee's personal system. Developer's Dilemma Amid Financial Pressure In a follow-up comment, the developer revealed that he had contacted the HR again to clarify the nature of the software. He was told that it would run passively in the background to ensure his system adhered to the company's security requirements. Still uncomfortable with the idea, the developer mentioned he was now considering purchasing a separate laptop solely for work purposes, entirely at his own cost, to avoid compromising his personal data. He also admitted that the compensation offered was far from impressive—roughly a third of Rs 35 LPA, which many commenters had suggested should be the minimum to even consider such terms. Factoring in the quarterly travel expenses, estimated at between Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 each trip, he feared that his savings would be significantly eroded. Currently unemployed after being laid off in March, the developer said he was seriously evaluating whether this opportunity was worth the risks involved.
