Wallets linked to Trump Media moved 4,259 BTC to Crypto(.)com, Arkham data show, weeks before convertible noteholders can demand cash repayment of up to $1 billion.

Wallets linked to Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), the parent company of Truth Social, have moved 4,259 $BTC to Crypto(.)com (@cryptocom), according to Arkham Intelligence data. The transfer comes weeks before holders of the company's convertible notes gain the right to demand cash repayment.

What the Arkham Data Shows

The coins were sent in two batches of 2,140 BTC and 2,119 BTC, according to a report republished by Cryptonews. They came from addresses labelled "2028 Convertible Notes Collateral" and went to an address reportedly owned by Crypto(.)com.

CoinDesk valued the transfer at roughly $342 million. Some outlets cite a higher dollar figure, but the BTC amount is consistent across reports. The same report noted that the transfer does not establish that bitcoin was sold, and that Trump Media has previously described similar moves to Crypto(.)com as custody management rather than sales.

The move is equal to about 30% of the roughly 14,139 BTC Trump Media said it held as of July 31, including pledged coins. That figure comes from an earlier disclosure, so it does not show that total holdings have fallen.

The November 30 Repayment Option

The timing is notable because of the terms of the company's debt. Trump Media raised $1 billion in convertible senior secured notes in May 2025 as part of a $2.5 billion financing to build a bitcoin treasury, according to a company filing with the SEC. The notes mature on May 29, 2028. However, each holder can require the company to repurchase its notes for cash on November 30, 2026.

If every holder used that right, the company could face a payment of roughly $1 billion. Cryptonews reported that the company's securities filing warned it may have to sell bitcoin or other digital assets if refinancing or other measures prove insufficient. CryptoSlate noted that the option does not mean noteholders will demand repayment, but it gives them the contractual ability to do so.

Trump Media's second-quarter filing said 4,260.73 BTC was being used as collateral for the notes as of June 30, with withdrawals or distributions restricted under the indenture. The amount moved this week closely matches that pledged figure. Arkham's labels line up with that arrangement but do not explain why the coins were moved, and the company has not confirmed the purpose of the transfer.

Earlier transfers to Crypto(.)com followed a similar pattern. In May 2026, wallets linked to the company moved about 2,650 BTC, which the company said was for custody management and not a sale, CoinDesk reported. Crypto(.)com has been a custody partner since the treasury strategy launched, alongside Anchorage Digital.
