Former President Donald Trump’s much-anticipated social media company, Trump Media, is set to go public as early as next week, potentially leading to a hefty profit for the controversial figure.
This is not Trump’s first foray into the world of publicly listed companies, as he previously had involvement with Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, which ultimately filed for bankruptcy despite Trump making millions of dollars.
Trump Media will be listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol DJT, drawing parallels to Trump’s previous venture. The focal point of the upcoming IPO is Trump Media’s social media platform, Truth Social, with Trump possibly holding close to 80 million shares in the merged company.
Despite recent financial challenges, including the need to post bonds for defamation lawsuits and civil fraud awards, Trump has indicated that he has sufficient cash on hand and access to bonds. This could potentially allow him to capitalize on the upcoming listing for his social media company.
It is worth noting that Trump may face restrictions on selling shares in the merged company for at least six months, but the board of directors could potentially vote to grant him permission to sell shares earlier.
As Trump seeks to navigate the financial and regulatory landscape surrounding the IPO of Trump Media, the eyes of both supporters and critics are sure to be firmly fixed on the former president’s next move. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
