Freight Technologies Inc.: A Bold Move into Cryptocurrency
Recently, a relatively small U.S.-based logistics company, Freight Technologies Inc., has captured significant media attention with its strategic decision to integrate the TRUMP memecoin into its financial reserves. This announcement led to a remarkable surge in the company’s stock value, doubling by over 100% in a single day.

According to a detailed report by Bloomberg, Freight Technologies Inc. plans to leverage funds raised through convertible notes to invest in the politically-themed digital asset linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump. As of the conclusion of the trading week, the company’s stock had appreciated by 108%, resulting in a market capitalization of $4.6 million. Despite this, the TRUMP token itself experienced minimal price movement on the same day.
Initiating with a $1 Million TRUMP Token Acquisition
Bloomberg’s coverage highlights that Freight Technologies Inc. is poised to initiate its foray into the TRUMP memecoin by purchasing tokens worth $1 million. The company has aspirations to potentially expand this investment to a substantial $20 million in the future. This initiative places Freight Technologies among the pioneering publicly listed companies to incorporate TRUMP as a primary digital currency within its treasury.
Currently, the TRUMP token is valued at $12.87, as observed on TradingView. The company’s move appears to be a strategic gamble on brand recognition and the associated hype, rather than a conventional investment. The memecoin market is notorious for its high volatility, and the lack of significant price fluctuations post-announcement may suggest that the market response differs from the investor enthusiasm reflected in Freight Technologies’ stock price.
Existing Crypto Holdings: A Look at FET
Freight Technologies Inc. is no stranger to the world of cryptocurrencies. Previously, the company invested $8 million in FET tokens, which are native to the Fetch.ai platform—a decentralized ecosystem focused on advancing artificial intelligence. This investment was publicly confirmed as of April 29.
Corporate Trends in Cryptocurrency Reserves: A Focus on Bitcoin
While Freight Technologies Inc. ventures into memecoins, other corporations are opting for more established cryptocurrencies for their reserves. Notably, companies like Strategy and Metaplanet are concentrating their efforts on Bitcoin rather than memecoins. On May 1, Michael Saylor of Strategy announced a substantial plan to double the company’s equity and fixed income raise, amounting to $84 billion, solely for the acquisition of additional Bitcoin.
Strategy has reported impressive returns, achieving nearly 14% yield on Bitcoin holdings, with a profit nearing $6 billion year-to-date. By 2025, the company aims to enhance its yield by 25% and boost profits to $15 billion. Metaplanet, on the other hand, is allocating 3.6 billion yen to bolster its Bitcoin reserves, underscoring a growing trend of institutional Bitcoin adoption.
