ContentsLaw Passed, Bitcoin Investment RevealedEthics Concerns and Policy OverlapTrump Media Says Bitcoin Is a Defense StrategyThis announcement was made just three days after President Trump signed a new law regulating crypto, the GENIUS Act. To critics, the schedule implies a plan that causes Trump to outsmart his interests in opposition to openness to the population.

Law Passed, Bitcoin Investment Revealed

On July 18, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which would regulate stablecoins and make digital products more extensively regulated. Three days later, Trump Media and Technology Group disclosed that it had purchased about 2 billion dollars in Bitcoin and other financial items. Concerns about the use of presidential authority to excite market decision-making, depending on Trump, and Trump being the 53 percent stakeholder of the firm leave much to be desired ethically.

The company had previously indicated the possibility of venturing into digital assets, although it had never confirmed substantial investments. The announcement was also timed with Trump being accused of devising a policy that sells his business interests.

blank## Ethics Concerns and Policy Overlap

Although the GENIUS Act has provisions that prevent any acts of government officials from promoting or issuing stablecoins, this act is not addressed in Bitcoin. This meant that the companies associated with Trump could operate with legal margins, though the policy transformed the market. World Liberty Financial is another crypto company where Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are members of the management team and handle worldwide deals and stablecoin transactions.

Commentators focus on the thin border between state service to the people and economic enrichment to the person. According to ethical specialists, on the one hand, there may be no violations of the law, but still, the image is very worrying. Criticism has been piled on the fact that Trump did not want to put his business interests in a blind trust during his two terms.

Trump Media Says Bitcoin Is a Defense Strategy

Trump Media explained the huge Bitcoin investment by the continuous discrimination towards it and the regular financial players. The corporation alleged that banks were freezing accounts and activating our services on the grounds of political inclination. By converting to Bitcoin, the firm says it would ensure its treasury would not be interfered with.

Nonetheless, Trump Media’s financial difficulties continue. Its flagship, The Truth Social, keeps losing money and does not have significant advertising. In spite of this ambitious Bitcoin investment, the company’s revenue is not huge, and the operating costs are too great. The business’s nature is already shaky, and to add fuel to the fire, the volatile nature of Bitcoin introduces another more unstable element to the equation.
