Tron Inc has filed with the SEC to raise up to $1 billion through a combination of debt and equity. This move follows the company’s recent merger with Justin Sun’s Tron project, which aimed to enhance their reserves of TRX tokens. The initiative comes after a significant surge in Tron Inc’s stock price and reflects an ambition to expand its treasury dedicated to TRX.
Fundraising Supports TRX-Centric Treasury Strategy
Instead of focusing on Bitcoin, Tron Inc is concentrating its treasury around TRX, the key token for its ecosystem. The company already possesses over 365 million TRX and desires to accumulate more, aligning TRX as a long-term reserve asset alongside traditional holdings.

Reverse Merger Boosted Stock Dramatically
Since its merger, Tron Inc. has seen its stock price increase by over 20%, climbing above $11 per share. This remarkable growth is noteworthy for a company previously considered a penny stock, with its market cap surpassing $200 million after the filing.
Public Debut via Nasdaq Reverse Merger
The company entered the Nasdaq market through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, which involved a $100 million equity investment and brought significant TRX assets into its treasury.
Justin Sun Rings the Bell in Times Square
On July 24, Justin Sun participated in a Nasdaq bell-ringing ceremony, marking Tron Inc.’s entry into the public market, although he will not assume an executive position, instead serving as an advisor.
Why the TRX Reserve Strategy Matters
By accumulating TRX, Tron Inc is betting on the token’s long-term viability and potentially positioning itself as the largest public TRX holder. This move indicates confidence in TRX but raises concerns among skeptics regarding the wisdom of basing a treasury on a volatile asset.
Investor Concerns Over Dilution Risk
Some investors expressed apprehension over dilution risks, as new stock issuance or purchasing additional tokens could influence supply and demand dynamics. Investors are keeping a close eye on this situation.
Fits Growing Trend Among Crypto-Native Firms
Tron Inc’s strategy diverges from typical public crypto firms that tend to favor Bitcoin. It mirrors a rising trend of blockchain-native companies aligning their strategies with their ecosystems. The success of this strategy will largely depend on TRX’s performance and management of reserves.
Risks and Regulatory Questions Loom
Going public has brought heightened attention, and Tron, along with Justin Sun, continues to navigate regulatory scrutiny linked to prior concerns regarding the initial offering of TRX. Careful adherence to U.S. securities law will be paramount moving forward.
What’s Next for Tron Inc
With a billion-dollar fundraising effort underway, Tron Inc aims to reinforce its position as a TRX-centric company. If the market responds favorably and TRX maintains its value, this could serve as a case study on how altcoins can thrive in public markets. Conversely, instability might expose the challenges of volatility while under regulatory scrutiny.
