Justin Sun plans to take Tron public by merging with SRM Entertainment, a Florida company that produces merchandise for theme parks. This method, known as a reverse merger, would allow Tron to begin trading publicly without going through a traditional initial public offering.

SRM announced on June 16 that Sun will join as an advisor and that it had received a $100 million equity investment from a private source. As part of the plan, SRM will also change its name to "Tron" and start collecting TRX tokens to support a new crypto-focused treasury strategy.

To raise additional funds, Dominari Securities will lead a $210 million stock offering. The firm is a subsidiary of Dominari Holdings, which is based in Trump Tower, one floor below the offices of the Trump Organization.
