Trump Media Slumps on Massive Q2 Loss
Trump Media & Technology Group reported a net loss of $238.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, widening significantly from losses recorded in the same period last year. The parent company of Truth Social stated that the quarterly contraction was driven primarily by $190.4 million in non-cash, unrealized losses from digital assets, equity securities, and pledged crypto holdings. Despite the steep bottom-line decline, corporate revenues rose 89 percent year-over-year to reach $1.7 million, up from $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Operating expenses expanded to $165.2 million as the firm absorbed ongoing legal expenditures and operational scaling costs. Interim Chief Executive Kevin McGurn highlighted the commercial rollout of the Truth API data-licensing product alongside plans for a corporate merger with TAE Technologies. Company leadership emphasized a strategic shift back toward core social media and platform expansion following a period of broad commercial diversification. Following the earnings release, corporate shares experienced downward pressure during trading sessions.
