A US presidential candidate has chosen to use the social network Truth Social to raise funds for his election campaign, but this investment is now facing uncertainty. Supporters of Donald Trump were prepared for an unpredictable journey as they invested in the venture. The parent company of Truth Social, Trump’s social network, has been publicly listed on the US technology stock exchange Nasdaq since March under the symbol DJT. The company’s business model revolves entirely around 77-year-old Donald John Trump.
Truth Social’s success is now closely tied to the Trump campaign and the outcome of the US presidential election in November. The recent listing led to a valuation of $9 billion, significantly increasing Trump’s wealth on paper.

This dramatic change limited the potential financial gain that he could receive if he sold his shares.
The financial viability of TMTG, Truth Social’s parent company, raises questions about its long-term sustainability. Although TMTG plans to launch a new streaming service, its current financials don’t support its valuation it received. The recent price drop was triggered by TMTG’s intention to sell millions of shares, further complicating its financial outlook.
Trump’s commitment to Truth Social is multifaceted as he faces legal battles and financial challenges during his election campaign. The success of Truth Social remains uncertain depending on support from Trump followers and investors. With the election just months away, the financial health of both Trump and his campaign are pressing concerns as well.
As Trump navigates legal action and financial hurdles, the fate of Truth Social hangs in balance too. The company acknowledges that there are risks associated with any legal issues affecting its business and future prospects that may arise from Donald Trump’s legal battles.
