Valuation Reshuffle
Financial outlets describe the planned spin-off as a way to separate Truth Social’s performance from the rest of Trump Media & Technology Group.

They expect high trading volatility around any listing as retail investors and short sellers react to the new stock.
- •The spin-off would force investors to value Truth Social on its own user growth and advertising revenue rather than on DJT’s overall brand appeal.
