Donald Trump Transfers His Stake in Trump Media to Revocable Trust

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has moved his stake in Trump Media & Technology (NASDAQ: DJT) to a revocable trust.

Trump transferred 114.75 million shares, or 53% of Trump Media & Technology’s outstanding stock, to the revocable trust of which he is the sole beneficiary, according to securities filings.

His stake in the company was valued at over $4 billion based on the stock’s last closing price of $35.41.

In November, Trump said that he had no intention of selling his shares in the company, which owns the Truth Social media platform.

Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is the sole trustee of the trust and has sole voting and investment power over securities held by it, according to the securities filings.

Trump Media & Technology (NASDAQ: DJT) has a market capitalization of around $7.7 billion as retail traders bet on the stock as a proxy of Trump winning the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The company’s shares were down 4% at $33.86 on Friday.
