Commentary: Trump has billions riding on whether he wins
Published On Nov 4, 2024, 2:23 PM
Donald Trump's financial future is significantly tied to his chances of winning the 2024 presidential election. He has a stake in Trump Media and Technology Group (DJT) valued between $1.4 billion and $5.7 billion, depending on the stock's fluctuating price, which is closely linked to his electoral prospects. DJT is effectively a bet on whether Trump will win or lose; a victory could lead to increased engagement and revenues for the social media platform Truth Social, while a loss could severely diminish the company's value. Recent trading activities show that DJT shares have been highly volatile based on betting odds reflecting Trump's chances in the election.
