Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has announced February 2, 2026 as the record date for its upcoming digital token initiative. Shareholders who hold at least one whole share of DJT stock as of that date will be eligible to receive digital tokens and related incentives, according to a company announcement reported by Street Insider.
The initiative marks Trump Media’s latest step into blockchain-based shareholder engagement, following earlier signals that the company was exploring tokenized rewards tied to its ecosystem.
Eligibility Depends on Shareholder Status and Broker Reporting
According to the company, eligibility will be limited to ultimate beneficial owners and registered holders of DJT shares on the record date. Trump Media stated it will work with brokerage participants to collect shareholder information, but warned that certain designations—specifically objecting beneficial owner (OBO) status—could delay or prevent timely data sharing.
As a result, the company advised shareholders to confirm their status with their brokers or consider direct registration of shares to ensure inclusion in the token allocation process.
Crypto.com to Handle Token Minting and Custody
Following the February 2 record date, Trump Media plans to partner with Crypto.com to mint the digital tokens, record them on the blockchain, and custody the assets ahead of distribution. The company said additional details regarding allocation mechanics and timelines will be released at a later stage.
Trump Media also reiterated that the digital tokens will not represent equity ownership, will not be transferable, and cannot be exchanged for cash. Only shareholders holding DJT shares outright—as opposed to stock borrowers—will qualify.
As previously disclosed, the company expects to roll out periodic rewards throughout the year for eligible shareholders. These may include discounts or benefits linked to Trump Media products such as Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth Predict.
Trump Media CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said:
“We look forward to leveraging Crypto.com’s blockchain technology consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance to benefit our shareholders and promote transparency, including by obtaining a clear picture of bona fide beneficial ownership as of the record date.”
Trump Media & Technology Group is a U.S.-based media and technology company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida. It operates the Truth Social platform and is majority-owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.
