- A data center used by the Trump Media & Technology Group is owned by an investment company belonging to the wealthy Bradley family from Missouri, according to SEC filings.
The Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) houses some of its servers in a data center in Omaha, Nebraska, owned by the family office of a longtime Midwestern media mogul.
The server company, “1623 Farnam Road,” is fully owned by the BERKS Group, the private-investment company of the Bradley family, according to public documents sourced from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nebraska Secretary of State’s office, and the Missouri Secretary of State’s office. The BERKS Group is an investment company, run essentially like a family office, which the Bradley family set up after they sold the majority of the assets from the News-Press & Gazette Company (NPG), the longtime media company that owns newspapers, televisions channels, and radio stations across the country.
The existence of the server might sound like an unsurprising technicality, given that TMTG is an online media company. But TMTG often keeps these relationships close to its chest. It has redacted mention of 1623 Farnam in the majority of its SEC filings. Fortune found mention of the 1623 Farnam facility in a footnote of a contract between TMTG and one of its vendors, WorldConnect Technologies. In that agreement, WorldConnect was due 2.5 million shares of TMTG stock at the opening of the first data center at 1623 Farnam’s location in Omaha.
