Since then, the market has weakened further, with Bitcoin hovering near $77,700 at the time of the latest transfer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corporate treasury losses deepen<\/h2>\n<p>Based on Trump Media\u2019s previous disclosures, the company originally accumulated 11,542 BTC at an average purchase price of about $118,522 per coin, spending close to $1.37 billion on the position. At current market prices, the remaining treasury has fallen well below its entry level.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Quarterly filings released by the company showed that its Bitcoin holdings had already declined to 9,542 BTC after the first transfer. Following the latest 2,650 BTC movement flagged by Lookonchain, the stash now appears to stand near 6,889 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>Recent financial results have already shown the impact of the downturn. Trump Media reported a $405.9 million net loss for Q1 2026, with $368.7 million tied to unrealized markdowns on digital assets, pledged crypto assets, and equity securities.<\/p>\n<p>Within the filing, the company disclosed that its Bitcoin holdings carried a cost basis of roughly $1.13 billion while their fair value had dropped to about $647 million by the end of March. Trump Media also disclosed ownership of around 756 million Cronos tokens linked to its partnership with Crypto.com.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this mean for Bitcoin?<\/h2>\n<p>Large exchange inflows such as these can create temporary fear among traders because visible supply on an exchange order book may act as a potential resistance zone.<\/p>\n<p>However, it must also be noted that the $205 million transfer remains relatively small compared with Bitcoin\u2019s multi-billion dollar daily spot and derivatives trading volume. For now, the market impact would depend on whether the coins are sold directly on the exchange or moved through over-the-counter channels.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, on-chain supply data has continued to show strong long-term holder activity despite weakness among some corporate treasury buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Market analytics cited in recent reports estimated that more than 70% of Bitcoin\u2019s circulating supply has remained unmoved for over a year, suggesting long-term investors have continued holding through the current downturn.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$BTC<\/a> Long Term Holders Just Flashed The Signal That Preceded Every Major Expansion Phase Since 2012.<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Bitcoin<\/a> The 1Y+ Long Term Holder metric has now dropped back into the historical \u201coversold\u201d accumulation zone, a region that previously appeared before explosive upside\u2026 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9ZHwKFJRm9\">pic.twitter.com\/9ZHwKFJRm9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CryptoZeno (@CrypZeno) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrypZeno\/status\/2057019216143040741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 20, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump Media &amp; Technology Group has transferred another 2,650 Bitcoin worth about $205 million to Crypto.com, adding fresh scrutiny to the company\u2019s crypto treasury strategy as its holdings remain deeply&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29411"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29412,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29411\/revisions\/29412"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
