Trump Media's second-quarter results have drawn attention for a $238.1 million loss and a Bitcoin treasury that expanded to 14,139 BTC despite the crypto market downturn.

At the same time, Trump Media continued increasing its Bitcoin exposure. The company held 14,139 BTC worth $890.5 million on July 31 after selling $159.6 million of Bitcoin-related securities during the month and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin directly.
