$Trump Media & Technology (DJT.US)$ shares jumped almost 17% Monday, erasing earlier declines after the Financial Times reported that the social media company is in talks to buy crypto trading venue Bakkt, owned by $Intercontinental Exchange (ICE.US)$.
The stock of the company that's 53% owned by President-elect Donald Trump climbed to $32.78, erasing declines of as much as 5.5% earlier. $Bakkt Holdings (BKKT.US)$ shares more than doubled to close at $29.71 at close in New York Monday.

A potential deal could give Trump Media exposure to cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin prices climbed 150% this year, surging past $90,000 amid optimism that the incoming president will implement a pro-crypto policy when he takes over the White House in January.
Trump's team has touted the idea of setting up a strategic national Bitcoin stockpile. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming is pushing for a legislation that calls for the U.S. government to acquire 1 million Bitcoin by selling the Federal Reserve's gold holdings, Bloomberg reported.
