The stock price of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) plummeted by over 15% on Monday following the filing of millions of additional shares for sale by the parent company of former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform.

TMTG, trading on the Nasdaq as “DJT,” has revealed in a recent SEC filing its plans to potentially issue an additional 21.5 million shares in the near future.

According to the filing, there is a possibility of selling 146.1 million shares of the social media company, with Trump himself owning 114.8 million shares.

When the company went public through a blank-check merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp., it issued certain warrants. These warrants allow for the sale of additional shares upon exercise.
