Meanwhile, an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors will serve as the registered investment adviser, overseeing the new financial products under the Truth.Fi umbrella.
TMTG CEO Devin Nunes framed the move as a way to offer investment options that align with the company’s “America First” vision, stating:
“Developing American First investment vehicles is another step toward our goal of creating a robust ecosystem through which American patriots can protect themselves from the ever-present threat of cancellation, censorship, debanking, and privacy violations committed by Big Tech and woke corporations.”
Bitcoin and Crypto Get a Boost—But Not Everyone is Happy
With Bitcoin included in its investment strategy, TMTG is making a calculated move into crypto at a time when mainstream institutions are increasingly engaging with digital assets.

Bakkt (BKKT), a crypto trading platform, saw its stock plummet 27% following TMTG’s announcement. Investors likely see Truth.Fi’s entry into crypto investments as new competition in an already volatile industry.
By partnering with Charles Schwab, TMTG is ensuring institutional-grade custody for its investments. Meanwhile, Yorkville Advisors will oversee the company’s broader financial strategy, ensuring compliance and execution.
