The buyback will be conducted through open market transactions, and the repurchased shares will be retired by the company, Trump Media announced on Monday.

"Since Trump Media now has approximately $3 billion on its balance sheet, we have the flexibility to take actions like this which support strong shareholder returns, as we continue exploring further strategic opportunities," CEO Devin Nunes said.

Trump Media recently raised more than $2 billion from around 50 institutional investors to create a BTC treasury, for which Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital will provide custody services.

DJT shares climbed over 3.8% to $18.50 in early trading on Monday following the buyback announcement.

Coinbase lets XRP, ADA and dogecoin holders borrow up to $100,000 without selling

Coinbase

The exchange is widening access to its Morpho-powered lending product after a wave of liquidations earlier this month, giving holders of major retail tokens a way to borrow USDC without selling.

What to know:

  • Coinbase is expanding its U.S. crypto-backed lending service to include XRP, dogecoin, Cardano's ADA and litecoin, allowing more customers to borrow against their holdings without selling.
  • The loans, capped at $100,000 in USDC and routed on-chain through the Morpho protocol, are available nationwide except in New York and use wrapped versions of some tokens as collateral.
  • While marketed as a tax-efficient way to access liquidity, the product carries liquidation risk if collateral values drop and may trigger taxable events when assets are converted into wrapped tokens.
