From Theme Parks to Tron: This Company Wants to Be the MicroStrategy of TRX

Tron (TRON) has stunned investors with a pivot few could have predicted — shifting its focus from its struggling theme park merchandise business to become a crypto treasury vehicle dedicated to accumulating TRX (TRXUSD), the native token of Justin Sun’s Tron blockchain. The company plans to raise capital through stock, debt, and warrants, channeling proceeds into TRX purchases and related income-generating strategies.

It follows the Michael Saylor playbook of MicroStrategy (MSTR), but with a significantly less liquid and more disputed security. Tron’s aggressive rebrand is playing out on a rocky crypto stage, where token-correlated equities can significantly swing on sentiment shifts and regulation updates.

About Tron Stock

Tron (TRON) is a Winter Park, Florida-based developer of theme park merchandise for companies including Universal and Disney (DIS), although its merchandise business ceased to produce positive operating cash flow. The company was previously known as SRM Entertainment, but announced that it would rebrand to Tron and change its ticker to TRON as part of its focus on transforming into a publicly traded holding company for TRX. The market cap of the company is approximately $126 million.

It has produced an eye-popping 615% 52-week return, traded between $0.26 and $12.80, before coming to rest near $6.70 recently. That contrasts with a 20% rise in the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) for the comparable period, highlighting the speculative buzz surrounding the pivot.

Valuation ratios indicate the makeup — and risk appetite. Without positive earnings, the price-sales multiple is 28.34x and the price-book is 23.7x, significantly higher than the traditional consumer goods benchmark group. The return on equity comes to -78.96%, with the profit margins being significantly negative, signaling its reliance on the future appreciation of the TRX cryptocurrency.

Merger Could Open the Door to TRON-Powered Digital Collectibles

As part of its rebrand to Tron Inc., SRM Entertainment also announced a reverse merger with Tron, the crypto platform associated with TRX and Justin Sun. Sun will join Tron Inc. as an advisor, and the reverse merger will enable his crypto company to trade in the U.S.

The Tron blockchain is known for its low-cost, high-throughput transactions and has become a popular platform for entertainment and digital collectible projects. Combining this infrastructure with theme park merchandise and intellectual property could allow for a smart move into related digital collectibles.
