A merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. , which is up for vote Friday, would open the door for Trump Media & Technology Group to soon begin trading on the Nasdaq . All eyes are on a vote scheduled for Friday by shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp. , a publicly traded shell company that is looking to merge with the former president's media business.
The deal's approval would open the door for Trump Media & Technology Group, whose flagship product is the social networking site Truth Social, to soon begin trading on the Nasdaq stock market in Digital World's place. If the merger is greenlit, which is likely, Trump stands to receive a sizeable payout. He would own most of the combined company — or nearly 79 million shares. Multiply that by Digital World’s current stock price of more $42, and the total value of Trump's stake could surpass $3 billion. The prospect of the deal arrives at a time the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is facing his most costly legal battle to date: But even if the Digital World merger is approved Friday, Trump wouldn't be able to immediately cash out his windfall, unless some things change, due to a “lock-up” provision that prevents company insiders from selling newly issued shares for six months. Trump’s earlier foray into the stock market didn’t end well. Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts went public in 1995 under the symbol DJT — the same symbol Trump Media will trade under
