TMTG shares have tracked news and events surrounding Trump more closely than fundamentals tied to the Truth social parent company. However, the stock jumped more than 17% Thursday after Trump Media & Technology announced the launch of its Truth+ TV streaming app for Android devices.

“We’ve reached another milestone in our goal of creating an uncancellable safe harbor for free speech,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes.

“Starting from scratch, in a few years we’ve launched both a free-speech social media platform and a TV streaming platform for content that’s at risk of cancellation or cannot find a home due to the biases of TV networks—and we successfully launched our own content delivery network to do it," Nunes added.
