No New Disclosures Made After Two-Day Deadline for Insider Transactions
- Trump Media & Technology Group Inc.’s stock up nearly 11% as insiders hold onto their shares
- No fresh disclosures made after two-day deadline for selling stock
- Lockup period ends, no additional shares hit the market
- Trump’s stake in company worth about $1.5 billion at current price
- Company remains tiny and unprofitable with less than $840k revenue in Q2 and a $16.4m loss
Trump Media & Technology Group Inc.’s stock rose nearly 11% on Wednesday, as the two-day deadline for insiders to disclose any stock sales passed without fresh filings. The company’s inside shareholders, including majority owner Donald Trump, have been allowed to sell their shares since Friday, marking the end of the six-month lockup period following its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp in March. The uncertainty around the lockup expiration has subsided for now, as no additional shares entered the market and diluted the stock float. Trump, the former president and largest shareholder with 114.75 million shares (57% of outstanding stock), said earlier this month he had no plans to sell his stake in the niche social media company. If he were to change his mind, he could face legal issues, according to a securities lawyer. The company’s value is largely driven by market perceptions of Trump’s candidacy rather than its financial performance; it reported less than $840k revenue and a $16.4m loss in Q2.
