The company's alarming financials did little to buoy waning investor enthusiasm, with shares continuing a months-long plunge that [reached an all-time low last week](). Somehow, the situation has only gotten even more dire since then, with shares dipping well below $9. At the time of writing, TMTG's shares are circling the drain at around $8.59, a stunning loss of over 50 percent over the last six months and over six percent today alone. It's a far cry of the venture's record high of just shy of $80 shortly after it merged with a blank check acquisition company in March 2024, a move allowing it to be publicly listed under Trump's initials, DJT. TMTG has desperately attempted to reinvent itself several times over the last year, from [dipping its toes]() into the murky waters of prediction markets — the company's director and Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., remains [deeply involved]() with both Polymarket and Kalshi — and [massive purchases of billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin](). Most recently, the company surprised investors with an unexpected foray into the nuclear fusion industry. In December, TMTG [announced]() it was merging with a fusion power company, TAE, formerly called Tri Alpha Energy — a moonshot energy sector play that could take years, if not decades, to pay off. The company has also [hinted at spinning off Truth Social](), which could see it shedding its "[communication services company]()" label once and for all. Given the company's shares being on life support, the sell off once again highlights the persistent theory that the company's performance is little more than a gauge for the president's waning popularity — rather than being based on any meaningful business fundamentals. The plummeting stock echoes Trump's approval ratings, which have [taken a beating](), especially following the start of the US-Israel war on Iran. **More on the company:** [*Trump’s Disastrous Truth Social Company Hits Rock Bottom With Lowest Stock Price Ever*]() ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
