Trump Media And Technology Group (DJT) Has Only The Next Few Hours To Force Exercise Warrants Or Risk Losing The Ability To Do So Potentially Forever
Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) shares have now fallen to a price level that has virtually eviscerated all of the billions of dollars in paper gains that the former US President recorded since the 15th of December, 2023.

As we noted in a dedicated post last week, Trump's gigantic 59 percent stake in Trump Media and Technology Group, which corresponds to 114.75 million shares, achieved an early lock-up exit last Thursday as the stock continued to trade above the critical $12 share price.

Should Trump Media and Technology Group opt to force the exercise of these remaining warrants, it can potentially raise some much-needed additional cash.

If the company eschews this opportunity, it might never get another one where the stock trades above the $18 price level for at least 20 of a running count of 30 trading days.
Bear in mind that Trump Media had last exercised its warrants back in June, when it had managed to raise $69.4 million.
