SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 1, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) (“Trump Media” or the “Company”), operator
of the social media platform Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, is announcing financial results for the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2025, and is filing its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) today.
Trump Media ended the second quarter with financial assets of approximately $3.1 billion, comprised of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, trading
securities, and short-term investments, posting exponential year-on-year growth of financial assets of approximately 800 percent. The Company believes this tremendous level of liquidity and financial freedom, in conjunction with Trump Media’s low
operating costs and low cash burn rate, will fully enable it to pursue its expansion plans, including enhancing its existing platforms, launching new fintech and financial services products, and pursuing potential mergers and acquisitions.
The biggest factor contributing to the growth of Trump Media’s balance sheet was the Company’s ability to raise nearly $2.4 billion for its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Achieved through a private placement offering supported by approximately 50 institutional investors, this strategy enabled Trump Media to accumulate approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities in July 2025, giving the Company
one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries of any public firm. Among other benefits, the Bitcoin treasury strategy allows Trump Media to give its investors indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies, creates investment income, helps position the Company for
expansion, and solidifies the Company’s financial freedom, including enhancing security against debanking and other acts of political discrimination.
In the second quarter, Trump Media also achieved a key milestone by posting its first quarter of positive operating cash flow, with cash flow from operating activities
totaling $2.3 million.
Furthermore, the Company advanced its plans to launch the Patriot Package subscription service for the Truth+ video streaming platform. Currently in public Beta testing,
the package will establish synergies between the Truth Social and Truth+ platforms. Truth+ subscribers already receive automatic verification on Truth Social with a red check badge and a Truth+ badge, and will eventually gain access to features such
as an edit button, scheduled Truths, save drafts, expanded character counts, and the ability to upload longer videos. Meanwhile, the availability of Truth+ greatly expanded in the second quarter with the global rollout of Truth+, which can now be
viewed on Truth+ apps in most countries worldwide.
Truth+ is also envisioned to be part of a larger rewards program, to include a utility token within a Truth digital wallet that can initially be used to pay for Truth+
subscription costs, and later be applied to other products and services in the Truth ecosphere. These benefits will complement other advances on the Truth Social platform, particularly the integration of an artificial intelligence function that is
currently being developed.
Furthermore, the Company continues to press forward with its slate of Separately Managed Accounts and Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), having filed registration statements
in the second quarter and afterward for multiple ETFs including the Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, and Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.
Trump Media Chairman and CEO Devin Nunes said, “In a very short time, Trump Media has reopened the Internet for free speech, created an uncancellable social media platform
and video streaming platform, expanded both platforms worldwide, amassed one of the biggest Bitcoin treasuries of any public company, and now, we have our first quarter of positive operating cash flow—despite having gone public just last year. We aim
to continually increase both the quality and quantity of our products and services as we pursue a wide array of options, including acquiring crown jewel assets through mergers and acquisitions, to strengthen and extend our position in the America
First economy.”
Aside from posting $3.1 billion in financial assets and $2.3 million in cash flow from operating activities, the Company reported a net loss of $20.0 million for the
quarter, comprised of $20.5 million of non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes, partially offset by non-cash (unrealized) investment income, while revenue rose 6 percent
year-on-year to $0.9 million. Trump Media’s results are strongly influenced by approximately $15.0 million in legal costs for the quarter, primarily related to the Company’s 2024 merger with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). One of the
longest SPAC deals in history, the merger resulted in substantial legal costs including those incurred in litigation aiming to recoup merger-related damages from those individuals and entities that the Company alleges caused the delay of the SPAC
through their wrongful acts. The Company believes a positive resolution of these litigation matters, which it is working to achieve, could significantly impact its future financial results.
