Trump Media to Merge With Fusion Start-Up TAE in $6 Billion Deal

The plan positions Trump Media to diversify into fusion energy in a sector that has yet to produce a commercial power plant.

Overview

  • Trump Media & Technology, parent of Truth Social, announced a definitive agreement to combine with TAE Technologies in a transaction valued at $6 billion.
  • Closing is targeted for mid-2026 and remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
  • Devin Nunes and TAE chief executive Michl Binderbauer are slated to share leadership of the combined company.
  • Shareholders of each firm are expected to own roughly half of the new corporation if the deal completes.
  • Trump Media shares have fallen nearly 70% in 2025, and the companies frame the merger as a potential path to rebuild market value.
