The stock price, which trades under the ticker symbol DJT, peaked at nearly $62 in March 2024, shortly after the company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). On February 17, DJT stock closed below $10 per share, an all-time low. (It rallied modestly on Wednesday, closing at $10.48.)

First, the fundamentals of the business are poor. In the three months ending September 2025, the most recent quarterly data available, TMTG reported $972,000 in revenue and a net loss of $58.4 million. The business is burning money at an alarming rate and has done so since its inception. It has never brought in more than $4 million per year while losing hundreds of millions of dollars.
TMTG’s core business, Truth Social, has remained tiny despite Trump’s frequent promotion. SimilarWeb estimated Truth Social had around 359,000 daily active users in 2025. Its top competitors, X and Threads, each have more than 100 million daily active users.

Imagine thinking a SPAC correction is a presidential report card. Finance isn’t for everyone, I guess.

With its core business stagnant, TMTG has sought to diversify its business to prop up its stock price. Its biggest swing came in May 2025 when TMTG announced it was raising $2.5 billion to buy Bitcoin and Bitcoin related securities. The goal was to transform TMTG into a bitcoin treasury company, tying DJT stock to the price of bitcoin, rather than the performance of Truth Social and other business activities.MR-7 » 19 Feb 2026, 8:47 am » wrote: ↑ Stock volatility ≠ political performance. SPACs pump, SPACs dump. Welcome to finance 101.
TMTG executed this strategy by issuing 55.8 million new DJT shares, which diluted the value of existing stock, and issuing $1 billion in zero interest convertible notes.
This turned out to be a massive mistake. By December 2025, TMTG had purchased 11,542 Bitcoin at an average price of $108,000. The price of Bitcoin has since collapsed to about $67,000, generating an unrealized loss of about $472 million.
Ibid.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5.5 million in Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) shares and warrants on April 2, 2025. The sale occurred the same day President Trump announced new tariffs that negatively impacted the stock, allowing her to avoid losses as the shares fell.

Quoting TMTG’s early losses like it’s some smoking gun just tells me you’ve never looked at a tech company before it matures. Uber bled billions. Snapchat bled billions. Spotify bled billions. Twitter lost money for a decade. Early‑stage platforms always burn cash — that’s the business model.Blackvegetable » 19 Feb 2026, 8:10 am » wrote: ↑ First, the fundamentals of the business are poor.

And comparing Truth Social’s user count to X and Threads is like comparing a neighborhood gym to Planet Fitness and then screaming ‘failure.’ It’s a niche platform, not a mass‑market one. Niche platforms don’t need 100M users to survive — they need a loyal base, which it has.
Nothing you posted proves failure. It proves you don’t understand SPACs, startups, or tech growth curves. Try again when you’re comparing apples to apples instead of apples to skyscrapers. Or better yet, ask your ex, she is smarter.
- Uber lost $30+ billion before turning a profit.
- Snapchat lost billions for years.
- X (Twitter) lost money for a decade straight.
- Spotify lost money for 17 years.
- Reddit went public while still losing money.

Tech company? LOL, yeah, nothing screams 'I don’t know what I’m talking about’ like laughing at the literal definition of a tech company. Social media platforms are tech companies. They run on backend servers, cloud infrastructure, APIs, content‑delivery networks, moderation systems, and engineering teams. That’s textbook tech.
But sure, keep giggling like you just discovered the internet yesterday. By your logic, Reddit wasn’t a tech company when it was running out of a dorm room, Twitch wasn’t a tech company when it was Justin.tv with a handful of streamers, and Discord wasn’t a tech company when it was a tiny gamer chat app.
If you think an app with a full software stack ‘isn’t tech,’ that’s not an argument — that’s you waving a big neon sign that says ‘I’ve never built, analyzed, or even Googled how platforms work.

In September 2025, TMTG announced that it would offer Crypto.com’s Cronos tokens (CRO) as rewards for engagement on Truth Social. As part of the announcement, TMTG purchased 684.4 million CRO at a price of 15.3 cents per token. CRO tokens now trade at about 7.8 cents, creating an unrealized loss of over $51 million.

TMTG’s wildest move came in December 2025, when it announced a merger with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion company. The deal is valued at $6 billion and is expected to close later in 2026.
After an initial bump in the share price, investors appear to have cooled on the idea of merging a failing social media company with an energy company focused on speculative technology. The deal has raised practical concerns — no one has successfully produced energy using nuclear fusion at scale — and ethical ones. Nuclear fusion will likely need extensive support from the federal government to become viable.

I told Mrs I want to do our own witholding in a paper bag.. She would not allow it. I told her it feels like the gubomint could collapse any day and I didn't want them to hold the bag. But alittle bag of cash like that would probably be useless in that event. Beyond that, if everyone did their own withholding... they might wake up.
