Trump Media posts $405.9M Q1 net loss, Truth Social parent

techMay 9, 2026262,195

Trump Media & Technology Group, parent of Truth Social, reported a $405.9 million net loss for Q1 on roughly $871,000 in revenue. Expenses outpaced income by more than $405 million, and the company is weighing a spin-off of its Truth Social network. The size of the shortfall means Trump Media will need outside financing, asset sales, or restructuring to cover obligations. This matters because the gap shows Truth Social is not functioning as a standalone profitable business and may be treated primarily as a political communications asset rather than a commercial platform.

To be clear, companies typically want to make money

Zero chance that this doesn’t somehow actually *make* him money.

1. Have an idea 2. Promote it like it's life and death 3. Write yourself a fat check 4. Walk away 5. It either lives or dies, whatever Everything he does is a one time payout

I thought they were transforming in to an energy company, possibly nuclear?

Thomas Brackett “Czar” Reed6

Weird, it’s almost as if Trump isn’t actually a good businessman after all…

Miles Smith6

What?!? A Trump-owned venture LOST money?!?

How much money has this company lost since its creation?

jakeofnotrades.bsky.social3

This scam has never come close to showing a profit.

woodydelano.bsky.social3

How many of the expenses are actually revenue to DJT?

Holli Winters3

I wonder if the only reason it stays open is because he and his sons prefer to control the messaging and don't want to deal with Twitter's policing? Of course his other companies are supporting TS.

The Balance Sheet would provide more clarity. The interest income alone is a huge red flag. The non cash unrealized loss on digital assets is another giant red flag.

The Walking Dolbow2

I don’t think the point of the company is to make money.

🤮 another grifting write off

The Trump's only make money on bribes and cons as insiders, their legit businesses are usually dumpster fires.

Joh Fonte2

So they pay no tax

So did he just take it out in cash or what?

If some enterprising business reporter explained what's really going on here, I bet people would read it.

Dennis Fischer2

@zacheverson.com Whopping loss on digital assets, and WHO are those pledged to??

ReadingWarrior2

Charles Ponzi would be proud.

Ed Thorndike2

My company brings in 3 times this selling fucking chicken wings. This is such a freakin’ scam

Oh, the Inanity2

That's one heck of a Nunes parachute.

Since April 10, Trump has zapped out nine Truth Social posts deploying the “low IQ” tag. Six times his missive referred to a Black person.

Is Trumposhenko a racist? Now THAT's funny. Is water wet? Do bears, well, you know...

znap7

Is water wet? Let’s look at the stats.

I am dying to see one of the “low IQ” individuals challenge him to an IQ test.

The question should be, why did 77 million Americans vote for racist and what does that say about our country.

Lincoln once said, 'be quiet and let others think you a fool Speak out and remove all doubt’. I’m pretty sure I didn’t quote him right but the point is. We have a president who has removed all doubt as to his foolishness, lack of common sense, decency, or common knowledge, and he is an idiot.

Jason Carey5

This is ridiculous. Every single person knows he's racist. Some love him for it others hate it.

pammageddon.bsky.social4

He demanded the execution of the Central Park 5 even after they were exonerated. He and his dad practiced housing descrimination. His Admin is harassing, assaulting and sometimes killing POC daily. So yeah, I think he qualifies as a racist. And a Fascist and a grifting malignant narcissist.

CandySez/Beatleness3

Do we really need to keep asking this question?🙄

rustypfa2

Mark Burnett supposedly has tapes of Trump using racial slurs during taping of The Apprentice.

Conservatism Harms2

Conservatives have always been intellectually inferior. That is why they attack any and every group not like them. Due to their intellectual inferiority, Conservatives are the largest threat to societies, children, animals, wildlife, environment, the Planet Earth.
