Trump Media Drops Truth Social Spinoff to Pursue US$6b TAE Merger Completion by 2026 Trump Media & Technology Group and TAE Technologies have scrapped plans to spin off Truth Social and other media assets into a separate publicly traded company.
The two companies plan to keep pursuing their proposed US$6b merger, targeting completion in the fourth quarter of 2026 or earlier.
After the merger closes, the combined board expects to review options for legacy units, including Truth Social and other media properties.
The key shift here is that management is prioritizing completion of the large TAE merger over creating an immediate separate listing for Truth Social. This concentrates execution risk around a single, long-dated transaction.
You should watch for future disclosures on how the combined board evaluates Truth Social and other media assets, since any sale, restructuring or reinvestment decisions could change the profile of DJT’s media exposure over time. DJT

Trump Media Withdraws Bitcoin ETF Plans and Transfers $205 Million in Cryptocurrency After Heavy Losses Trump Media & Technology Group withdrew its SEC filings for both a Bitcoin ETF and a combined Bitcoin-Ethereum ETF, citing a move toward a 40 Act structure and intense competition in crypto ETFs.
The company reported a Q1 2026 net loss of about $405.9 million, largely tied to $244 million in unrealized losses on cryptocurrency holdings and an additional $108.2 million investment loss.
Trump Media transferred 2,650 Bitcoin, valued around $205 million, to Crypto.com, a move widely viewed as preparation for possible sales, while also undergoing leadership change with Devin Nunes resigning and Kevin McGurn becoming interim CEO and pursuing a merger with TAE Technologies.
The core story here is a company with minimal reported sales of about $871,200 and a heavy tilt toward volatile crypto assets, now rethinking its product plans and asset mix while reshaping top leadership and corporate structure.
Investors may want to monitor how Trump Media manages its remaining digital assets, how the TAE Technologies merger progresses, and how the company executes on Truth Social and Truth+ monetization, since these factors could influence future financial stability and any potential dilution or funding needs.
