Why It's Important: The share registration does not mean that all shareholders listed will sell their stock. The filing registers shares that can now be sold in the future.
Trump has promised not to sell his stake in the media company he co-founded.
"No, I'm not selling. No, I love it," Trump said back in September during a campaign speech.
The president said he uses Truth Social, owned by the media company he co-founded, to spread his message.
Trump also said he would not leave Truth Social for X in the same speech.
“I’m not leaving. I love it,” he reiterated.
In the speech, Trump highlighted how his stake was worth billions of dollars, but he wouldn't be selling.
“I’m not going to sell my shares. I don’t need money.”
Today, the DJT shares are worth $2.18 billion.
In November, Trump again confirmed he was not planning on selling his DJT shares and said that rumors and reports that he was were fake.
Trump Media & Technology highlighted its growth plans in the share filing, which include the recent rollout of Truth Social streaming apps for home TV and the launch of Truth.Fi financial services.
The company's main growth plans going forward are:
- Grow Truth Social
- Increase Product Offerings and Services
- Pursue Strategic Acquisitions and/or Partnerships
