Bitcoin BTC/USD is at $107,959.33, down 0.82% in a day and 3.13% in the week, but is still maintaining a 13.93% growth from last month. Despite the price slowdown, Bitcoin is trending as Trump Media & Technology Group Corp DJT announced it would raise $2.5 billion to construct one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries ever.
The company, operator of the Truth Social website, and led by U.S. President Donald Trump has secured commitments from about 50 institutional investors. It will sell $1.5 billion of common stock, and a further $1 billion of convertible senior secured notes. The funds will be used to create a Bitcoin treasury, making cryptocurrency a core asset on its balance sheet.

If the move to digital assets succeeds, it would be one of the largest BTC treasury investments by a listed company. Trump Media CEO, Devin Nunes, in a press release, called Bitcoin an “apex instrument of financial freedom,” and stated the allocation would be protection against “harassment and discrimination by financial institutions.” Anchorage Digital would be the custodian for its BTC holdings.
Elsewhere, the Pakistani government announced it would establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, following the United States’ own reserve strategy that Trump signed into effect in March. The move puts Pakistan among a growing group of nations that are integrating Bitcoin into their sovereign finance strategy.
At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Pakistan’s special assistant to the prime minister for blockchain, Bilal Bin Saqib, reiterated that their reserve would be held in permanently. He stated that the nation doesn't intend to ever sell their holdings. They also announced that the nation would dedicate excess electricity for mining and data centers.
Block Inc XYZ, a payments firm, is launching real-time payments using Bitcoin on its Square POS terminals. The integration will enable merchants to accept BTC directly with near-instant settlement, and dynamic exchange rate conversion at checkout.
The launch follows the “Bitcoin For Businesses” initiative by Block that previously enabled merchants to receive a portion of each day’s sales in BTC. It allows retail businesses, from coffee shop chains to large stores, to accept payment in Bitcoin instantly, without the need for block confirmations or worrying about volatility at the time of transaction settlement.
The intersection of geopolitical actors, corporate treasuries, and real-world merchant adoption indicates Bitcoin will be bullish in the long term, despite short-term price being unstable. Although BTC has cooled off compared to recent highs, this week’s strategic developments show that Bitcoin is evolving to become a fundamental asset of national and corporate financial infrastructure.
With billions being invested in BTC, it's clear that Bitcoin has come far from being just a new technology, and it will be interesting to see how Bitcoin solidifies its place in the traditional financial market.
