Trump Media posts $238M quarterly loss amid crypto market downturn

Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, reported a significant $238 million loss in the second quarter of 2026. The majority of this loss, over $190 million, stemmed from paper losses due to the decline in the value of the company's Bitcoin and other digital asset holdings. The company also incurred substantial legal expenses related to its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. Despite these losses, Trump Media saw an 89% increase in revenue, driven by its Truth+ streaming service and management fees, and holds over $1.9 billion in liquid financial assets. AI
