Senior executives from Trump Media & Technology Group have launched a new special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I, with plans to raise $179 million for acquisitions in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and dual-use technology sectors.
The company, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Trump Media Executives Launch New SPAC for Crypto and Tech Acquisitions
According to Forbes, Renatus Tactical’s leadership includes figures closely tied to Trump Media. CEO Eric Swider is a board member of Trump Media and previously led the firm that merged with it.
Devin Nunes, the CEO and chairman of Trump Media, also serves as the chair of Renatus Tactical’s board, while Alexander Cano, the SPAC’s chief operating officer, held key roles in the company’s merger activities.
According to its SEC filing, Renatus Tactical intends to focus on industries where government involvement is significant, either as a regulator or a major client. This includes data security and dual-use technologies—sectors that often intersect with national security and defense interests.
Meanwhile, parent company of Truth Social and the streaming platform Truth+ is also expanding its financial services division.
Trump Media & Technology Group previously announced the launch of Truth.Fi, a fintech and investment brand, with board approval for up to $250 million in investments through Charles Schwab. The move aims to diversify the company’s cash holdings, which reportedly exceeded $700 million at the close of the previous year.
Trump Media Expands Into FinTech With Blockchain Investments
Trump Media has filed to trademark a range of investment products focused on Bitcoin and U.S.-based blockchain projects. The firm’s investment strategy aligns with “America First” values, targeting assets such as XRP, SOL, LINK, and AVAX. As part of its expansion, the company is developing separately managed accounts (SMAs) to provide structured investment solutions.
In another potential move into the cryptocurrency sector, Trump Media is reportedly in advanced discussions to acquire the crypto trading platform Bakkt. The Financial Times cited sources familiar with the matter who indicated that negotiations are ongoing. This acquisition, if finalized, could significantly enhance Trump Media’s footprint in the digital asset industry.
Trump has been vocal in his support for cryptocurrency during his campaign, positioning the United States as a leader in the sector. His administration has appointed key figures to regulatory bodies such as the SEC, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission, which oversee financial and technological regulations.
