Benzinga reached out to Trump Media & Technology Group for comment on the stock sales.

Donald Trump, the majority shareholder of Trump Media & Technology, holds 114.75 million shares, representing about 60% of the company’s total shares. Trump denied rumors of a potential share sale in a post on Truth Social last Thursday. 

Trump said the rumors were “fake, untrue, and probably illegal,” likely spread by market manipulators or short sellers. He emphasized, “I have no intention of selling.”

Interest Rates Are Falling, But These Yields Aren't Going Anywhere

Lower interest rates mean some investments won't yield what they did in months past, but you don't have to lose those gains. Certain private market real estate investments are giving retail investors the opportunity to capitalize on these high-yield opportunities.

Arrived Home's Private Credit Fund’s has historically paid an annualized dividend yield of 8.1%*, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate. The best part? Unlike other private credit funds, this one has a minimum investment of only $100.
