Justin Sun’s TRON Goes Public Through a Theme Park Toy Company 🎢💰

Crypto boss Justin Sun and theme park toy maker SRM are teaming up to take TRON public in a wild reverse merger.

🚨 Breaking News:
SRM Entertainment will rebrand as TRON Inc., raise $100M to buy TRON tokens, and turn into a full-blown crypto company.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

• SRM makes Disney & SeaWorld merch — now it’s going full crypto with TRON.

• Sun joins SRM as an advisor after years of SEC drama.

• Trump-linked investment bank arranged the deal.

• SRM stock shot up 460% after the announcement.

• They’ll stake TRON and give dividends to shareholders, Saylor-style.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
A toy company + a crypto billionaire + a Trump connection = the wildest IPO story of the year so far.
