Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) shares climbed on Tuesday after the company laid out the mechanics of its upcoming digital token program. The stock was up 4.65% to $14.52 as details emerged about how shareholders can get their hands on these crypto rewards.

Here's how it works: The operator of Truth Social and Truth+ has marked February 2, 2026 as the cut-off date. If you own at least one full share of DJT by then, you're in. If not, you're out of luck on the token front.

The Fine Print on Eligibility

Trump Media plans to work with brokers to figure out who owns what, though the company is warning that certain ownership structures might complicate things. The advice? Check with your broker to make sure you're listed as a non-objecting beneficial owner. Or better yet, consider moving your shares to a direct registration system, which could speed up the verification process.

Blockchain Partnership

Once the record date passes, Trump Media will team up with Crypto.com to mint the tokens on the blockchain and hold them until distribution day arrives. The company isn't just doing a one-time giveaway either—it's planning periodic incentives for token holders.

Those rewards could include perks or discounts tied to Truth Social, Truth+, and the Truth.Fi financial unit. Think of it as a loyalty program, but with blockchain technology backing it.

"We look forward to leveraging Crypto.com's blockchain technology consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance to benefit our shareholders and promote transparency, including by obtaining a clear picture of bona fide beneficial ownership as of the record date," said Devin Nunes, CEO and chairman of Trump Media.

The token initiative represents Trump Media's latest effort to blend social media, crypto, and shareholder engagement into something resembling a unified ecosystem.
