Former President Donald Trump's Truth Social is set to go public on Wall Street after the SEC approved the registration for its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. If completed, the merger could inject $300 million into Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. Donald Trump would become the largest shareholder in the combined company with more than 78 million shares, equating to around 69% of outstanding stock. Truth Social has so far generated $1.1 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2023 but recorded a net loss of over $26 million.
