Since the beginning of the year, the proliferation of corporate crypto cash management strategies has dominated the cryptocurrency sector.
Justin Sun clearly wants to accelerate this momentum for Tron Inc. by raising $1 billion to buy more TRX.
It is impossible to ignore the unprecedented acceleration of corporate treasury projects based on the purchase and holding of cryptocurrencies, set up by publicly traded companies. The main objective is to boost the stock market appeal of their shares, while offering a potential option for increased profitability.
This trend initially focused solely on Bitcoin, with companies such as the now legendary Strategy. However, this sector has recently become very popular and has opened up to competition from altcoins, with hybrid proposals designed to apply this formula to any available company, provided it is listed on the stock market.
This is the case, for example, with Tron Inc., which, as its name suggests, focuses primarily on holding TRX cryptocurrencies native to the Tron blockchain. This development model is summarized in its latest document filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of a shelf statement to issue up to $1 billion in hybrid securities.
Tron Inc., formerly SRM Entertainment, Inc., is a publicly traded company pioneering blockchain-integrated cash strategies. As the company with the largest number of TRON (TRX) tokens, the company is committed to transparency and the adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) to create long-term value.

“Use proceeds to purchase TRX tokens”
Tron Inc. currently has an estimated cash position of 365 million TRX, worth just over $120 million at the current TRX price. This sum largely stems from the agreement reached last June during the reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, involving a $100 million equity investment in the form of TRX cryptocurrencies.
This amount is likely to increase in the near future. Indeed, the recent filing of its registration statement with the SEC implies the possibility of issuing a combination of different types of financial securities (common or preferred shares, bonds, convertible securities, etc.) with the aim of raising up to $1 billion to purchase more TRX.
Our strategy with respect to the TRX token generally consists, from time to time and subject to market conditions, of: (i) issuing debt or equity securities, or engaging in other fundraising transactions, with the proceeds to be used to purchase TRX tokens; and (ii) acquire TRX tokens using our excess liquid assets, i.e., those that exceed working capital requirements.
It is difficult to know whether all of the funds raised will be used to purchase TRX. In any case, this massive purchase could quickly represent up to 3 billion units, or approximately 3% of its current market capitalization estimated at just over $31 billion. This is a transaction to be monitored closely.
