Can we sum $\sum _{m=0}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right)$ this series?

If it were to be $\sum _{m=-\infty}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right) $, it is known that it is equal to some power of exponentials. But for this case, i could only manage to write

$$\sum _{m=1}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right)+\sum _{m=1}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{-m}\left( k\right)+J_0(k)=\sum _{m=-\infty}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right) $$

which did not help.

Due to the Jacobi-Anger expansion, $$ e^{ik\cos\theta} = \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} (ie^{i\theta})^n J_n(k) \tag{1} $$ hence:

$$ \sum_{m\in\mathbb{Z}} t^m J_m(k) = \color{red}{\exp\left(k\cdot \frac{t^2-1}{2t}\right)}\tag{2} $$

under the assumption that the LHS is convergent.
