The planning of the IPO and the price of TRX

Recently, Tron has been making headlines for this its plan to launch an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the USA. 

In practice, it seems that thanks to a merger agreement with SRM Entertainment listed on Nasdaq, Tron should create a new U.S. entity, Tron Inc., and indeed aim to debut on Nasdaq as well. 

The new company should hold amounts of TRX up to 210 million dollars in tokens and would take inspiration from the Bitcoin-based treasury model of Strategy by Michael Saylor, becoming a publicly listed vehicle to leverage its crypto reserves. 

At the moment, there have been no official revelations about the progress of this bull IPO plan. 

In the meantime, the price of TRX fluctuates around $0.27, while the market cap of over 25.6 billion dollars places TRX in eighth position in the overall crypto ranking. 

In the last month, TRX reached its price peak on June 10, at 0.29$. However, this is still far from the ATH – All-Time High or historical maximum of TRX of 0.42$, reached last December 2024. 

The new Tron Inc should hold substantial amounts of TRX, the native digital asset of Tron, up to 210 million dollars of tokens. 

The chosen structure for Tron Inc refers to the Bitcoin-based treasury model of Strategy, positioning itself as a publicly traded vehicle to leverage its cryptocurrency reserves.
