In the short term, $105 million worth of CRO, totalling 685,427,004 CRO, is set for Trump Media’s balance sheet.

Trump Media’s CRO treasury details

The new entity plans to acquire $1 billion worth of CRO tokens, which will account for approximately 19% of the total CRO market cap, or roughly 6.3 billion tokens.

Overall, the substantial investment is eyeing ploughing $200 million in cash, $220 million in mandatory exercise warrants and a $5 billion equity line of credit from Yorkville into the publicly-traded CRO treasury.

“The sheer size and structure of this project will encompass more than the entire current market capitalization of CRO, with the additional commitments of over $400 million in cash and a further $5 billion line of credit facility to acquire additional CRO,” said Kris Marszalek, co-founder and chief executive officer of Crypto.com. “This, combined with share lock-ups by each party and the treasury’s validator strategy, make it a unique and compelling offering compared to all other digital asset treasuries.”

The partnership between Trump Media and Crypto.com extends the companies’ collaboration and positions Cronos as one of the top altcoins hitting treasury bets.

CRO price rose to highs of $0.20 as of writing, going vertical as most cryptocurrencies struggled with downside pressure.
