Trump Media & Technology Group reported a net loss of $405.9 million during the first quarter of 2026, sharply higher than the $31.7 million loss recorded a year earlier. The company said unrealized losses tied to its cryptocurrency treasury holdings, including Bitcoin and Cronos, significantly affected overall financial performance during the quarter.
According to a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company recorded around $244 million in unrealized losses linked to its Bitcoin holdings. Another $108.2 million in investment losses came mainly from equity securities. Combined digital asset and equity markdowns accounted for nearly $370 million of the company’s quarterly losses.

Bitcoin and Cronos Holdings Pressure Financial Results
Bitcoin remained the company’s largest digital asset exposure during the quarter. As reported, Trump Media owned around 9,542 Bitcoins by the end of March, whose cost basis was $1.13 billion. Due to market fluctuations and devaluation, the current fair value of the asset decreased to $647 million.
The company also disclosed holdings of nearly 756 million Cronos tokens connected to its partnership with Crypto.com. The arrangement formed part of a broader Cronos treasury initiative involving Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville. The firm diversified its digital asset portfolio within a challenging cryptocurrency market environment in early 2026.
While the total quarter’s losses are significantly high, the company managed to grow its revenues by 6%, bringing them up to $871,200. Revenues included earnings from its media operations, totaling $810,100. In addition, the company also earned $61,100 from management fees related to financial instruments offered by Truth.Fi exchange-traded funds.
Trump Media Maintains Cash Flow Despite Market Pressure
Trump Media reported a positive operating cash flow of $17.9 million during the quarter, supported partly by options transactions connected to pledged Bitcoin holdings. Financial assets of the firm amounted to $2.1 billion, marking a threefold increase compared to the previous year despite growing pressure from cryptocurrency losses and investments.
During this period, Trump Media experienced numerous troubles related to its poor financial results and the company’s stock price drop. CEO Devin Nunes resigned on April 22, while the stock has plunged over 90% from its early 2022 peak of $97.54, recently trading near $8.93.
