That’s more than 8% lower than the original price. Wow. ---

It’s 94% lower than the all time high. ---

The knowing it would get here wasn’t hard; the confidently know when was the tricky part. Too bad it isn’t as practical to sell and hold as it is to buy and hold. ---

Yeah. I became wealthy with index funds and one house that I still have over 30 years later. Anything else is gambling. ---

I’m curious if anyone knows what the fair market price would be–that is, if it were valued at a rational price according to the company’s potential earnings. Would it be a penny stock? ---

They sell advertising like any other social media ---

This is where I’m curious. I think their revenue is solely from advertising. Is their revenue stream sufficient to cover their costs? Is Truth Social growing in a way that suggests it’ll ever have that revenue stream? ---

They are certainly not profitable. They lost over $700M in 2025. ---

They are indeed trying hard to expand their business model from old fashioned advertising into modern corruption and bribery. It seems (but I am no **[chartered accountant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAOQH4xEyhM)**) that the company, despite having years of experience, is utterly failing at this, but it also seems that some individuals are profiting bigly. ---

> [@DSeid](#): > > But but what about that merger with the fusion energy company?!? Huh? Huh? Commercial nuclear fusion is about 30 years away. It has been that far away for the last 30 years. That observation was made 30 years ago and holds true today. The reaction this company is selling will probably take another 30 years to develop after that. ---

That’s the puzzle at the heart of Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT). On paper, DJT... “Trump Media pivoted from media operations to Bitcoin treasury management, with cash flow now coming from crypto-linked options rather than Truth Social subscribers.” ---

So is it actually a BitCoin play? And how would one (not anyone does) analyze what it would be worth based on its BitCoin holdings? Compared to other more direct ways to play crypto for those so inclined. ---

Yeah. In the last quarter of 2025, per CNN, total revenue was $1 million and net income was -$600 million.
