2025 年 2 月 5 日，据 GblobeNewswire 报道，特朗普媒体和技术集团公司，英文名称 Trump Media and Technology Group Corp.（以下简称 TMTG）宣布，公司已经申请注册与其 ETF 和 SMA 相关的品牌名称，计划从今年开始推出这些产品。
商标名称中包括 Truth.Fi Bitcoin Plus ETF、Truth.Fi Bitcoin Plus SMA，特朗普将成为首位发行比特币 ETF 的美国总统。
TMTG 成立于 2021 年，旨在挑战大科技公司对言论自由的压制，推动自由表达和开放互联网。公司运营社交媒体平台 Truth Social，电视流媒体服务 Truth+，以及涵盖金融服务和金融科技领域的 Truth.Fi。
特朗普家族是 TMTG 的实际控制人，唐纳德·特朗普本人作为主要股东和决策者，在公司发展中扮演重要角色。此前爆火的 $TRUMP 币就是在媒体平台 Truth Social 发布的第一手信息。

- Truth.Fi Made in America SMA

- Truth.Fi Bitcoin Plus ETF

TMTG 已与总部位于新泽西的 Yorkville Advisors 的关联公司签署了一项服务协议和一项许可协议。在获得必要批准的情况下，Yorkville 将担任新金融工具的注册投资顾问，负责产品构建并引导其完成监管流程。拟议中的 Truth.Fi 基金将进行最高达 2.5 亿美元的初始投资，托管方为 Charles Schwab。
TMTG 首席执行官兼董事会主席 Devin Nunes 表示：“我们的目标是为投资者提供投资于美国能源、制造业及其他企业的途径，这些企业能够与市场上普遍存在的‘觉醒基金’和去银行化问题形成竞争性替代。
我们正在探索多种方式来区分我们的产品，包括与比特币相关的策略。我们将继续优化我们计划推出的产品系列，以打造最符合‘美国优先’原则的投资选择。”
Yorkville 总裁 Mark Angelo 表示：“Yorkville 很高兴与 TMTG 一起迈出这关键的一步，共同开发‘美国优先’投资工具。我们高度重视作为 TMTG 战略金融合作伙伴的地位，并自豪地加入 Truth.Fi 的创新行动。”
彭博行业研究高级 ETF 分析师 Eric Balchunas 表示，TMTG 的比特币 ETF 可能不会获得与贝莱德等公司同样的吸引力，但仍然具有重要意义。
“尽管有特朗普的品牌，但与 IBIT、FBTC 等相比，这些项目在资产聚集方面可能微不足道。话虽如此，他们推出这个项目的事实本身就为主流化叙事增添了内容，这很重要。”
