Freight Technologies (Nasdaq: FRGT) has stunned both logistics and crypto markets with an unconventional treasury move—investing millions into the politically charged Trump Token (TRUMP). In a bold fusion of politics and technology, the Houston-based logistics firm has already committed $1 million toward the token, with up to $20 million earmarked in total through a convertible note agreement signed on April 29, 2025.
CEO Javier Selgas said the investment aligns with Fr8Tech’s mission to optimize U.S.–Mexico trade through advanced tech. He claims that TRUMP tokens reflect ideals of “free and fair trade,” values critical to the company’s logistics model. Fr8Tech’s flagship products—Fr8App and Fr8Now—leverage AI to match freight with carriers in real-time.
“We see digital assets like TRUMP and FET as both symbolic and practical tools for innovation,” said Selgas in a recent statement.
Crypto analysts are divided. Some see this as a PR-driven gamble on a volatile memecoin, while others believe it’s a signal of mainstream token experimentation in the public sector.
“While risky, Fr8Tech may be ahead of the curve in using tokenized assets to align branding, ideology, and treasury innovation,” said Liam Harper, blockchain strategist at DLT Advisors.
The company has not disclosed the exact utility of TRUMP tokens in its ecosystem, but sources suggest potential integrations with supply chain tokenization or user incentive models.
Fr8Tech’s dual bet on AI and political tokens could encourage other mid-cap firms to explore alternative treasury models, especially as regulatory clarity improves in the U.S. under the Trump administration.
This approach could reshape how companies position themselves ideologically while participating in the crypto ecosystem. If the strategy works, TRUMP and FET may act as both speculative assets and strategic signals to investors, partners, and users alike.
