Trump's New Investment Plans: A Look Behind the Scenes
USAThu Feb 06 2025
In a move that’s sure to grab attention, Trump's tech group, Truth Media, is diving into the investment world. They are planning to launch new investment opportunities. These investing vehicles are for its Truth. Fi brand and will center around Trump's "America First" agenda. Truth. Fi will offer a trio of investment choices: "Made in America, " "U. S. Energy Independence, " and "Bitcoin Plus. " These will include exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs). These plans sound like a big deal. They will let investors put their money into companies that align with Trump’s vision for the nation’s future.
The investment game will start with up to $250 million. But where’s it going? Charles Schwab will hold onto it. Meanwhile, Yorkville Advisors will be guiding the plans. Understandably, this has people talking. The CEO of Truth Media, Devin Nunes, says they want to give investors a way to back American energy, manufacturing, and other firms. These firms will be a competitive alternative to the woke funds and debanking problems all over the market. Nunes believes that this will cater to people who believe in “America First” ideals.
Trump has consistently pushed for America to be a major energy player. During his 2024 presidential campaign, he frequently chanted the phrase "drill, baby, drill. " This push has included promises to boost domestic oil and gas production. Trump has also threatened the European Union with tariffs. He wants them to buy more U. S. energy products. Back in 2017, Trump declared a “national energy emergency. ” This was one of his first acts as president. The Interior Secretary Doug Bergum was directed by Trump to identify ways to speed up energy production.
There’s a catch, though. Trump’s push for “energy independence” doesn’t have much room for wind power and other renewables. He has already ordered a moratorium on offshore wind approval. Trump has also frozen funds tied to the Inflation Reduction Act. This act is meant to help clean energy projects. Despite this, Trump has been vocal about boosting domestic manufacturing. This will happen through new investments and tariffs on imports. These tariffs will push companies to move production back to the U. S. from foreign nations.
It’s worth noting that Trump isn’t just about traditional investments. He’s also positioned himself as the “crypto candidate. ” The crypto industry has welcomed his administration. They have already made pro-cryptocurrency moves. The presidential administration is already planning to support stablecoin legislation. The plan is to study the feasibility of a national reserve of Bitcoin.
The plans are all about making sure the investments align with Trump’s vision for America. It’s a bold move that could shake up the investment world.
