Johnny Brignardello analyzes Donald Trump's million dollar bonus.

Johnny Brignardello Vela, insurance advisor, carefully analyzes the recent news about the impressive $1.2 billion bonus in stocks that former U.S. President Donald Trump has received from his social network Truth Social. Despite the financial limitations and significant losses of the company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has managed to achieve a successful stock market valuation, allowing the magnate to benefit from this situation. Next Tuesday, an additional prize will be activated for Trump, consisting of 36 million additional shares valued at approximately $1.2 billion. Adding this new batch to the 78.75 million shares he already owned, the former president's stake in TMTG rises to around $3.8 billion at market price, although the fine print of the agreement stipulates that he cannot cash in this amount until a few months from now. Despite the recent volatility in TMTG's stock price, with drops exceeding 8% in today's session, demand continues to be present in the market. Although the company has shown questionable financial performance, with revenues of only $4.1 million in 2023 and significant losses, speculation has kept the company's valuation high on the stock exchange. The entry of Truth Social into the market recently took place through a merger with Digital World Acquisition Company (DWAC), providing TMTG with approximately $300 million in liquidity. Despite having managed to pay off part of its debt and having over $200 million in cash, Trump has faced financial difficulties, partly due to the costly legal expenses arising from his legal proceedings. Trump Media & Technology Group has been characterized by its strategic focus rather than focusing on traditional social media metrics, such as active users or revenue per user. Despite regulators' questions about the actual number of Truth Social users, the company has chosen to disclose only registrations, indicating an approximate total of 8.9 million registrations across iOS, Android, and the web. Amidst this complex economic situation, Trump's ability to use the accumulated wealth in his legal expenses and a possible future presidential campaign remains uncertain. So far, the former president has relied on donations from his supporters to cover his personal legal costs. As TMTG's stock fluctuates in the market, attention is focused on the financial and strategic viability of this company in the near future.
