Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) stock surged 33% after announcing a merger with fusion company TAE Technologies, now up 38% in five days. The $6 billion all-stock deal signals a strategic shift for Trump Media, known for its Truth Social platform. Fusion power is a futuristic, nuclear-free way to generate electricity.

Trump Media, formed in 2021 and public since 2024, aims to combat Big Tech censorship on Truth Social. Stock, down 58% this year, operates Truth+ video streaming and plans to launch Truth.Fi financial services. Valued at $4 billion, the company’s stock has disappointed investors despite its recent rally.

With a price-to-sales ratio of 1,244x, Trump Media has struggled financially, reporting net sales of $972,900 in Q3 and a net loss of $54.8 million. The company invested $1.43 billion in Bitcoin, generating $15.3 million in income from options and partnering with Crypto.com to invest in Cronos.

Trump Media’s risky investments in Bitcoin, Cronos, and fusion energy make its stock a long-shot bet. While the company’s Bitcoin investment is a highlight, other safer options exist for investing in the cryptocurrency. Investors holding DJT stock should consider taking profits now amid uncertainty over its future performance.
