Trump's Truth Social Set to Go Public, Could Net Him Billions

The merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. values Truth Social at about $5 billion, potentially enriching Trump by $3 billion.

Trump's social media network, Truth Social, is merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp., valuing the company at approximately $5 billion.
Trump, owning roughly 60% of Truth Social, could see paper gains of around $3 billion, though immediate access to these funds is restricted.
The merger comes as Trump faces significant financial and legal challenges, including a $454 million bond for a fraud conviction and lagging campaign fundraising.
A joint fundraising agreement with the RNC aims to support Trump's campaign and legal expenses, with individual donors able to give up to $814,600.
Truth Social's public debut is marked by uncertainty, including Trump's limited ability to sell shares and the platform's unproven long-term viability.
