Trump Media & Technology Group’s $2.3 billion stake sale
baffles as Truth Social flounders with losses, tiny user base

New York, N.Y. — On April 4, 2025, the saga of Truth Social and Donald Trump continues to baffle and frustrate onlookers. What began as a supposed bastion of free speech has morphed into a perplexing financial riddle, leaving many to question how this platform even stays afloat. Recent headlines scream of Trump Media & Technology Group offloading a $2.3 billion stake, yet the numbers don’t add up—how does a platform with dwindling users and negligible revenue command such a valuation?

Let’s rewind. Truth Social launched in 2022 as Trump’s answer to being booted from mainstream platforms like Twitter (now X). The pitch? A haven for unfiltered voices. The reality? A ghost town of engagement, overshadowed by X, where Trump’s posts still garner more traction despite his own platform’s existence. Fast forward to 2025, and Trump Media & Technology Group (stock ticker: DJT) filed papers with the SEC allowing Trump to sell his shares. Shares dropped, yet the company’s market cap somehow lingers in the billions. Disbelief is the only rational response.

Analysts are tearing their hair out.

Truth Social reportedly lost $49 million in 2023, with a user base that’s shrinking faster than a deflating balloon. Compare that to X, where Elon Musk has turned chaos into profit. So why does DJT stock defy gravity? Some whisper it’s a vehicle for foreign money or a bribe conduit for wealthy investors currying favor with Trump. Others call it a scam fleecing loyal MAGA supporters who sank retirement funds into a sinking ship. Either way, the math is maddening.

Take the latest twist: a partnership with Crypto.com to launch ETFs via Truth.Fi. Really? A platform that can’t keep users is now a crypto pioneer? Then there’s Trump’s ai-generated Gaza video—complete with a topless Netanyahu and a golden statue of himself—posted on Truth Social. Backlash ensued, even from his own users. It’s absurdity piled on absurdity, yet the stock ticks along.

Financial filings paint a grim picture.

Losses are blamed on “non-cash charges,” but revenue remains a mirage. Meanwhile, Trump’s net worth—tied to DJT—swings wildly, raising red flags about conflicts of interest as he wields presidential power. Critics argue it’s a legalized grift, a way for investors to pad his pockets under the guise of a media venture. Supporters see genius in his deal-making. The rest of us? We’re just exhausted.

The SEC filing hints at more to come. If Trump cashes out, what happens to Truth Social? Does it collapse like a house of cards, or does some mysterious cash infusion keep it limping? The platform’s purpose—beyond amplifying Trump‘s rants—remains unclear. Is it a business, a political tool, or a vanity project? No one knows, and that’s the most frustrating part.

As Trump teases a third term (U.S. Constitution be damned) and juggles tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, Truth Social lingers as a bizarre footnote. It’s not about innovation or disruption—it’s about clinging to relevance in a world that’s moved on. The disbelief isn’t just in its survival; it’s in how anyone still buys the hype.
