ETFs to Launch Later This Year
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) ("Trump Media" or the "Company"), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, announced today that Yorkville America Equities has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the initial registration statement (the "Registration Statement") for five America First themed exchange traded funds ("ETFs").
Today's filing for these America First themed ETFs expands the product portfolio by building on the digital asset ETF filings made with the SEC in June and July 2025. These ETFs, along with the previously announced digital asset ETFs, will be collectively known as the "Truth Social Funds".
These new ETFs are designed around five thematic strategies:
- Truth Social American Icons ETF
- Truth Social American Security & Defense ETF
- Truth Social American Next Frontiers ETF
- Truth Social American Energy Security ETF
- Truth Social American Red State REITs ETF
Through a partnership with the 1792 Exchange, the ETFs apply a screening process to ensure alignment with the Truth Social brand and America First principles.
Subject to regulatory approval, the ETFs are expected to launch later this year and be widely available across existing platforms and brokerages. Shares will be listed on NYSE Arca.
Yorkville America's affiliate Yorkville America Equities will serve as the sponsor of, and registered investment advisor to, the ETFs.
