His share is worth $3 billion when and if someone offers to buy it for $3 billion. Let’s see what the shares trade for when people have to pay real money for them.
While this deal makes no sense it simply means more assets for his creditors to seize.Trump desperately needs this. What I don't get is why people would put so much money into a social media site that is rather tiny.
Other than for laundering purposes of course.
So it looks like Trump is set to get about $3 billion from his "wildly popular" social media site/company going public, and while I'm no financial expert, it stinks to high heaven.
I'd wager he's planning a repeat of his casino theft. He walked away with big bucks and left his "investors" holding an empty sack. Fools...money...While this deal makes no sense it simply means more assets for his creditors to seize.Trump desperately needs this.

Any person of normal intelligence knows that "Truth" Social is really "Trump" social. The only reason anyone participates there is to stay in touch with Orange ManBoy. It's the same as subscribing to a porn site. Do people frequent porn sites to learn anything? Okay, maybe if you've never been to a porn site your curiosity might be piqued by what you've heard so you go check things out. If you decide to stay and actually become a regular user it's because you enjoy what's there. If you don't enjoy Orange ManBoy you're not going to hang around.His share is worth $3 billion when and if someone offers to buy it for $3 billion.

Not sure how this relates to my comment that you quoted.Any person of normal intelligence knows that "Truth" Social is really "Trump" social.

Where are you getting volume data for a stock that isn’t publicly traded yet?The one thing I was thinking about was Volume. Looking at the stock, share volume is around a million a day. The trade numbers are similar to that of Gamestop, a stock that at one was a meme stock. Google trades 10 to 20 times more than DWAC has.
Which makes me wonder. How long would it take to sell his shares, as someone needs to actually buy them. Again, this is where the fraud likely exists. But it seems unlikely that a company whose only asset is cash on hand (~$300 million alledgedly), and somehow manages to lose around $25 million a year on interest payments (WTF is that about?!), can entice some other people to buy shares at the existing premium. Making one wonder, how much of his shares are effectively locked in place and unsellable (without a prearranged deal)?
He'd need to sell over 13 million shares, just to get the cash to fund a bond.
I thought you might be talking about DWAC, but their recent average volume has been significantly more than 1 million.
Pump and dump perhaps?The shares are up nearly 25% today. WTF?! How does a business failure keep getting this lucky?!
Nope, just the gullible willingly letting themselves get fleeced along with speculative gamblers trying to make profitable short term trades. The shares have been highly volitile ever since it was announced they were planning to merge with Trump's company. A change of 25% in the value of the shares happens quite often.Pump and dump perhaps?The shares are up nearly 25% today. WTF?! How does a business failure keep getting this lucky?!
It was down over 13% on friday. C'est la vie.Nope, just the gullible willingly letting themselves get fleeced along with speculative gamblers trying to make profitable short term trades.

The valuation is based on the current price of DWAC shares. One share of DWAC divided by the percentage ownership of the post-merger company one share will provide gives the total value of the company. Trump's portion of that value is equal to his post-merger percentage ownership of the entity. So in some sense people are already paying real money for them.His share is worth $3 billion when and if someone offers to buy it for $3 billion.

Well, it hadn't happened as a private company that censored posts.article said:With the merger’s closing, which came 29 months after the agreement was first announced, TMTG Chief Executive Devin Nunes, and the existing management team, will continue to lead the company.
“As a public company, we will passionately pursue our vision to build a movement to reclaim the internet from big tech censors,” Nunes said.
Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida, told CNN that if the company’s stock reflected its actual value it would be priced not at $70 but at $2.
He is barred for six months from selling any of that stake, unless he receives permission from the company’s board. Rather naïvely, I assumed this would be difficult, because so big a sell-off might look to regulators an awful lot like an illegal “pump and dump” scheme wherein some boiler-room sleazeball talks up the value of a stock to investors and then dumps his shares, making a killing while his clients lose their shirts.
Truth Social’s board, which turns out to consist of seven members, three of them former Trump administration officials (former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, former White House aide Kash Patel, and former Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon). Former Representative Devin Nunes, whose reward for running interference during Trump’s first impeachment was to be named chief executive of Truth Social, makes four board members unlikely to contradict Trump, and a fifth is Don Jr., who wouldn’t know how. If Trump asked this board to jump off Trump Tower, it would race to the elevator and push “up.”
According to The Wall Street Journal’s Amrith Ramkumar, should Trump receive a waiver from his board, company rules will permit him to sell “several hundred million dollars worth of stock” over a three-month period.
