Insights
Fr8Tech invested another $1M in Trump tokens, increasing crypto holdings to $10.7M while positioning at US-Mexico trade advocacy intersection.
Freight Technologies (FRGT) has issued $1 million in convertible notes to purchase additional Official Trump tokens ("TRUMP"), doubling their investment in this cryptocurrency to $2 million total. This move represents a significant expansion of their digital asset strategy.
The company's total digital asset portfolio, which includes both TRUMP tokens and FET tokens, is now valued at approximately $10.7 million as of May 11, 2025. This represents a substantial portion of their balance sheet being allocated to cryptocurrency assets.
This investment appears strategically positioned at the intersection of two objectives: diversifying their treasury with digital assets while simultaneously making a political statement regarding US-Mexico trade relations. CEO Javier Selgas explicitly frames this investment as both a financial move and an advocacy tool for promoting fair trade across the US-Mexico border.
The timing is notable as it comes amid diplomatic discussions between the US and Mexico regarding trade balances. With cross-border trade valued at $840 billion last year, FRGT's business operations are directly impacted by these trade relationships. The company appears to be using its treasury management decisions as a form of corporate political expression.
These convertible notes were issued from an existing $20 million facility, suggesting the company has capacity for additional similar transactions. The use of convertible notes rather than cash reserves indicates a structured approach to financing these cryptocurrency investments, though the specific terms of these convertibles (interest rates, conversion prices, maturity dates) weren't disclosed in this release.

“While Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s recent comments that the US and Mexico are ‘…working in the coming days on options to improve our trade balance and advance outstanding issues for the benefit of both countries’ is encouraging, we see no reason why a collaborative and constructive framework for fair and free trade cannot be established now.
