Texas Bank Under $6 Billion Ties Itself to Trump’s Pro-Bitcoin Power Bloc

A small Texas lender is drawing outsized attention across crypto and political circles. Monet Bank, a community bank with assets under $6 billion, has rebranded twice this year and repositioned itself as a crypto-focused “infrastructure bank.”

The move matters because its owner, billionaire Andy Beal, a major Trump ally, is now placing the institution within what analysts describe as a fast-expanding pro-Bitcoin power network surrounding Donald Trump.

Monet Bank openly states that it aims to become the premier digital asset financial institution, offering forward-facing solutions for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and broader digital asset finance.

The bank, regulated by the FDIC, has six offices in Texas and was known for decades as Beal Savings Bank.

Earlier this year, it briefly became XD Bank before adopting the Monet brand, a sequence of rebrands that signals a deliberate strategic shift.

Beal, who founded Beal Financial Corp., is known both for high-stakes poker and for heavily backing Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign through personal political committees.
