Yorkville Moves to Acquire MAGA ETF

Yorkville America Equities plans to acquire the Point Bridge America First ETF as part of its expanding portfolio aligned with an “America First” investment strategy.

The proposed acquisition has received approval from trustees connected to Truth Social-branded exchange traded funds and follows a recent agreement to acquire another similarly themed fund.

The move is expected to strengthen Yorkville’s ETF lineup by integrating an established fund with an existing investor base.

Once completed, the acquisitions will significantly increase the total assets linked to the Truth Social ETF franchise, which currently manages under $50 million.

The transactions are anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2026.

Prisma is one of Argentina’s largest card issuing platforms, processing billions of transactions annually for major banks. Newpay complements this ecosystem by providing payment infrastructure, ATM services and electronic bill payment systems.

The transaction is expected to be completed in early 2026, though financial terms have not been disclosed.
