Trump Media & Technology Group reported a significant $405.9 million net loss in the first quarter of 2026, with substantial unrealized losses on its crypto holdings driving the loss.
Trump Media ’s $405.9 million net loss was driven mostly by unrealized losses on Bitcoin bought at last summer’s peak and Cronos tokens acquired through a Crypto.com deal.
Trump Media & Technology Group posted a $405.9 million net loss in the first quarter of 2026, up from $31.7 million a year earlier, amid growing unrealized losses on its crypto holdings. The parent company of Truth Social booked $244 million in unrealized losses on its Bitcoin position and a further $108.2 million in investment losses tied mostly to equity securities, with nearly $370 million of the quarter’s total losses stemming from digital asset and equity markdowns,roughly 9,500 Bitcoin at an average cost of around $108,519 per coin.
By March 31, the company held 9,542 Bitcoin with a cost basis of $1.13 billion but a fair value of just $647 million, a gap of nearly $500 million. The position has since recovered somewhat, now worth around $770 million with Bitcoin trading above $80,000. The company also holds 756 million Cronos tokens, purchased for $113.9 million as part of a Crypto.com deal last year, which were worth just $53 million at quarter-end.
Of the firm’s Bitcoin holdings, 4,260 BTC is pledged as collateral for convertible notes and another 2,000 BTC is held against covered call options to hedge against price swings. Despite the losses, Trump Media still generated $17.9 million in operating cash flow during the quarter, helped by selling options tied to its pledged Bitcoin. Total financial assets reached $2.1 billion, three times the level from a year ago.
Revenue came in at $871,200, up just 6% from $821,200 in Q1 2025, with media revenue of $810,100 and $61,100 in management fees from Truth. Fi ETF offerings. The results arrive after a turbulent stretch for the company. CEO Devin Nunes stepped down on April 22, and the stock has lost more than 90% of its value since peaking at $97.54 in early 2022, last changing hands around $8.93.
