Shares of social media company begin trading on NASDAQ market

According to CNBC, shares in the social media company that Trump founded two years ago began trading on the NASDAQ market Tuesday.

That move came after stockholders in the shell company known as Digital World Acquisition Corp. voted last week to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, the company that owns Truth Social.

Forbes magazine estimated Trump Media's total market capitalization at between $8 billion and $10 billion on Tuesday, with Trump holding a 58% stake.

However, the former president will be precluded from selling those shares for at least six months following the merger.

CNBC noted that Trump Media will be headed by former California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, who also served as CEO of Digital World Acquisition Corp.

"We will continue to fulfill our commitment to Americans to serve as a safe harbor for free expression and to stand up to the ever-growing army of speech suppressors," he added.

Meanwhile, former Digital World Acquisition Corp. chief executive Eric Swider will now serve as a director at Trump Media.
