Trump Media’s bitcoin holdings hit 15,649 BTC as a $1B cash demand looms
Trump Media’s bitcoin holdings totaled 15,649.14 BTC as of September 30, 2026, its quarterly filing submitted on November 9 shows. The disclosure comes ahead of a potential $1 billion cash repayment demand from convertible-note investors on November 30, 2026.
Key takeaways
- Trump Media reported 11,385.20 BTC pledged to an options strategy.
- Noteholders can request early repayment despite a May 2028 maturity.
- Scott Melker reported a 4,259 BTC transfer to Crypto.com.
Trump Media’s bitcoin holdings include two positions
Trump Media & Technology Group’s September 30 total combines bitcoin listed as digital assets with a larger position pledged for options trading. The filing records 4,263.94 BTC in digital assets and 11,385.20 BTC pledged for its options strategy.
Convertible notes permit an early cash demand
Investors holding Trump Media’s $1 billion of convertible notes can require repayment in cash on November 30, 2026. Although the notes mature in May 2028, their terms allow an earlier repurchase demand.
The notes carry a zero coupon. Under the early repurchase provision, holders can request 100% of principal in cash; the filing puts the potential obligation at approximately $1 billion, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Bitcoin collateral and a reported Crypto.com transfer
The filing identifies 4,260.73 BTC as collateral for the convertible notes as of September 30. It also says the trading counterparty can reuse, at its discretion, bitcoin committed to the options strategy.
According to remarks made by market commentator Scott Melker on November 6, wallets tied to collateral for Trump Media’s 2028 convertible notes sent 4,259 BTC to Crypto.com during early November.
That reported movement occurred after the September 30 holdings snapshot in the quarterly filing.
A larger bitcoin balance alongside a cash obligation
Trump Media’s bitcoin holdings increased by roughly 1,510 BTC from July 31 to September 30. Its earlier report placed the July-end balance, including pledged bitcoin, at approximately 14,139 BTC.
The increased bitcoin position sits alongside a debt provision denominated in cash: noteholders have the right to demand repayment on November 30, 2026, before the scheduled May 2028 maturity.
