SRM Becomes Tron Inc., Launches $210M TRX Treasury
Nasdaq-listed SRM Entertainment has undergone a significant transformation, announcing its rebranding to Tron Inc. and the launch of a $210 million TRON treasury strategy. This follows a $100 million equity investment from a private investor, as detailed in a securities purchase agreement.
Key Aspects of the Transformation
- Name Change: SRM Entertainment is now Tron Inc.
- Treasury Fund: A substantial TRON (TRX) treasury with a potential value of $210 million.
- Equity Investment: A private investor contributed $100 million in exchange for Series B convertible preferred stock, convertible into 200 million common shares and 220 million warrants to purchase additional shares at $0.50 per share.
- Advisor: Justin Sun, founder of Tron, will serve as an advisor to the newly formed company.
- Strategic Partner: Dominari Securities structured the deal and has reported ties to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Tron Inc. plans to utilize the treasury for TRX staking and a dividend policy. This move comes as stablecoin usage on the Tron network continues to grow, with Tether recently minting $1 billion in USDT tokens on the platform.
Tron Inc.'s Strategic Vision
Justin Sun highlighted the increasing real-world adoption of blockchain and stablecoins, stating that Tron, with its 310 million international user accounts and over $20 billion in average daily transactions, aims to become the leading protocol for on-chain settlements globally.
Regulatory Landscape
The rebranding and treasury strategy occur against the backdrop of evolving regulatory discussions. The SEC’s amended suit against Justin Sun was temporarily paused in February to allow for settlement talks, suggesting a potential thawing of tensions.
