Bitcoin News Today: Tron Inc Files $1B SEC Registration to Expand TRX Treasury Fueling 1300% Stock Surge Since 2024

Tron Inc. has filed a $1 billion securities registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expand its TRX token treasury, signaling a strategic pivot to bolster blockchain infrastructure and diversify revenue streams. The company, which rebranded from its previous entity, announced the move via a Form S-3 shelf registration on July 22, 2025, enabling flexible capital raising through stock and debt instruments [1]. The filing follows a 1300% surge in its stock price since 2024, reflecting renewed investor confidence in its hybrid business model that combines blockchain technology with entertainment ventures [2].

The corporate treasury strategy, modeled after MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin approach, involves issuing debt or equity securities to purchase TRX tokens, with the aim of increasing treasury holdings and stabilizing token value amid market volatility [3]. Tron Inc. already holds 365 million TRX tokens, acquired through a $105 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) deal linked to the Sun family, co-founder Justin Sun’s affiliated group [4]. The company plans to use proceeds from the $1 billion offering to further expand its TRX reserves, which it views as critical to sustaining long-term growth of the Tron blockchain ecosystem [5].

The registration allows Tron Inc. to issue shares or debt instruments as market conditions favor, providing flexibility to fund initiatives without immediate pressure to meet short-term fundraising goals [6]. However, critics note that aggressive treasury accumulation could signal overreliance on token manipulation to maintain market sentiment, a tactic common in crypto projects facing regulatory scrutiny. The success of this strategy will depend on TRX adoption, Tron blockchain growth, and broader institutional acceptance of alternative cryptocurrency treasury approaches.

Tron Inc. was recently formed through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment and now trades on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol TRON. The company’s recent rebranding has been marked by significant stock performance, with shares rising from below $1 to above $11.80, propelling its market cap over $200 million. Justin Sun, the company’s founder, rang the Nasdaq opening bell earlier this month, underscoring the firm’s renewed focus on merging traditional finance with blockchain innovation [7].

The move underscores Tron Inc.’s Nasdaq-listed status as a key differentiator in the crypto sector. By leveraging traditional financial tools alongside blockchain innovation, the company aims to bridge gaps between institutional investors and decentralized ecosystems. This dual approach has attracted attention from both Wall Street and the crypto community, though its success will depend on execution of cross-industry partnerships.
