Headline: Justin Sun Pumps $18M into Tron Inc., Boosting Its TRX Treasury and Public Profile
Justin Sun, founder of the TRON blockchain, has taken a fresh stake in Tron Inc., injecting $18 million through his vehicle Black Anthem Limited. The shares were bought at $1.3775 each—an investment the company says both endorses its strategy and strengthens its ability to scale.
What happened
- Black Anthem Limited purchased $18 million of Tron Inc. stock at $1.3775 per share.
- Tron Inc., which also runs a subsidiary selling custom merchandise to major entertainment venues, has been actively building a blockchain‑integrated treasury strategy and may use the proceeds to fund expansion.
Why it matters
Tron Inc. frames Sun’s buy as a “powerful endorsement” of its long‑term vision. CEO Rich Miller said the capital will bolster the balance sheet, increase digital asset holdings, and support growth initiatives around global blockchain payments and Web3 infrastructure. The deal also further positions Tron Inc. as one of the largest corporate holders of TRX and the leading publicly traded company aligned with the TRON network.
Network and market context
Sun’s move is consistent with his ongoing efforts to support TRON development and continues a trend of corporate treasury accumulation by Tron Inc. Market participants see the investment as a signal of confidence in TRON’s growth—particularly in decentralized apps and stablecoin activity—at a time when the network is handling a significant share of global USDT transfers.
TRX price and on‑chain strength
Despite broader crypto volatility, TRX has shown price stability around $0.28, trading a touch above $0.286 on December 30, 2025, with more than $560 million in 24‑hour volume. That resilience reflects heavy on‑chain use: high throughput and low fees continue to attract developers and users. On the same day, market data highlighted major Tether issuance on TRON (SwanDesk noted $1B USDT minted on TRON, and $26B minted on TRON during 2025), underscoring the network’s role in stablecoin flows.
Outlook
In the short term, TRX price movements will still track overall market sentiment, but Justin Sun’s direct backing of a publicly traded, treasury‑focused player may encourage institutional alignment and retail accumulation ahead of further ecosystem developments. For Tron Inc., the capital infusion not only provides liquidity but also amplifies its public association with the TRON network—an alignment that could catalyze both corporate adoption of TRX and expansion of blockchain payment infrastructure.
