Four months ago, the company shifted 2,000 BTC valued at approximately $175 million, the same period in which Bitcoin was trading at $87,000.<img src="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/trump-media-sale.jpg" alt="Trump Media Offloads 2,650 Bitcoin Worth $205 Million Amid Speculation" width="862" height="602">The remaining crypto holdings are now estimated to be down by almost $455 million with Bitcoin trading at around $77,000.The Bitcoin price drop joins a swirl of other financial difficulties that have plagued <a class="thirstylink" href="https://med.etoro.com/B10215_A127826_TClick_Scb-djt.aspx?TargetURL=https://www.etoro.com/markets/djt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump Media</a>. Earlier this month, in its Q1 earnings report, the company announced losses of more than $402 million, with around $244 million attributable to digital asset exposure. The losses have taken a toll on investors’ confidence, and the company’s stock performance has been suffering.<img src="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/trump-media-co.jpeg" alt="Trump Media Offloads 2,650 Bitcoin Worth $205 Million Amid Speculation" width="862" height="452"><h2 id="institutional-bitcoin-buyers-begin-reducing-crypto-exposure">Institutional Bitcoin Buyers Begin Reducing Crypto Exposure</h2>Trump Media and Technology Group’s stock prices have dropped by approximately 40% year to date and nearly 67% in the last 12 months, a stark contrast from the bull market of the last few months in which investors had been bullish on the company’s treasury solution for cryptocurrencies.But the company is not the only one cutting its exposure to Bitcoin. These are a few institutions that have been aggressively buying BTC during the rally, but are now taking a second look at their holdings as the market conditions worsen.Technology company Kulr Technology Group was said to have sold 300 BTC earlier this year for $23.3 million to stave off losses. The moves are symptomatic of a broader trend among investors based in the U.S. who, in recent years, have been selling more <a class="thirstylink" href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> than they are buying, according to analysts.<h2 id="market-sentiment-around-bitcoin-remains-deeply-negative">Market Sentiment Around Bitcoin Remains Deeply Negative</h2>The sentiment in the markets is also down. The <a class="thirstylink" href="https://med.etoro.com/B10215_A127826_TClick_Scb-coinbase.aspx?TargetURL=https://www.etoro.com/markets/coin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a> Premium Index, which serves as an indicator of investor interest in <a class="thirstylink" href="https://coinstats.app/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> by U.S. investors over the last month, has stayed mostly negative. It has only recorded positive readings a few times during the past 30 days, indicating that there is less activity by the institutions buying it and continuing sell-side pressure.<img src="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Bitcoin-Coinbase-Premium-Index-2-1600x900-1.png" alt="Trump Media Offloads 2,650 Bitcoin Worth $205 Million Amid Speculation" width="862" height="485">Corporate Bitcoin heavyweight <a class="thirstylink" href="https://med.etoro.com/B10215_A127826_TClick_Scb-microstrategy.aspx?TargetURL=https://www.etoro.com/markets/mstr" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy</a> has even signaled a potential change in strategy, instead of its “never sell” philosophy. The company recently agreed to purchase back $1.5 billion in its 2029 convertible notes, and hinted that it would look towards sales of bitcoins to raise the funds for this purchase.As more institutions sell their Bitcoin, analysts are predicting further downward pressure on the cryptocurrency’s price, and increased volatility in the wider market. Further liquidations could further shake investor confidence in the sector’s sustainability with businesses facing margin pressures and balance sheet pressures.This article was originally published as <a href="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/trump-media-offloads-2650-bitcoin/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=article_footer" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump Media Offloads 2,650 Bitcoin Worth $205 Million Amid Speculation</a> on <a href="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=article_footer" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto Breaking News</a> – your trusted source for crypto news, Bitcoin news, and blockchain updates.
