Trump Media & Technology Group Stock Began Trading Under Ticker Symbol 'DJT' Today
~ Trading Commences Following Successful Closing of Business Combination with DWAC ~
SARASOTA, Fla., March 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trump Media & Technology Group ("TMTG"), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, announced today that after successfully completing its business combination with blank check company Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DWAC), trading of TMTG's common shares will begin on the NASDAQ stock exchange today. At market open, the ticker symbol will switch from "DWAC" to "DJT" for the company's common shares.
For TMTG, the stock ticker symbol "DJT" pays direct homage to the company's former Chairman and Director, and the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. We believe that the commencement of trading of DJT on the public markets testifies to Americans' demands for free-speech platforms that reject the stifling censorship imposed by Big Tech.
"We built this company to protect the American people's voices and their freedom," commented TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. "Having transformed into a public company, Truth Social remains committed to maintaining and vehemently defending a digital space for free expression."
