Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Center-Trump no longer on Bloomberg Billionaires Index after Truth Social stock plummets

Trump Media shares have Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Centerbeen slipping in recent days. So has Donald Trump’s net worth.  

Trump is no longer listed on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world’s 500 richest people, after the stock price for Trump Media – the parent company behind the former president’s social media company Truth Social – took a nosedive.

Shares dipped 12% on Friday and 8% Monday. After sliding as much as 4.8% on Tuesday, the stock rallied to close at $37.47, up 0.8% for the day but down more than 50% from its peak in late March. 

Tuesday was the first time the stock fell below $35.50 since Trump Media merged with the public shell company Digital World Acquisition Corp. and started trading under the ticker DJT on March 26. 

The price dip over the last two weeks has wiped out billions of dollars from the company’s market value, after being valued at nearly $8 billion after its stock market debut.

How much is Trump Media worth?

While the company’s value has dipped in recent days, $5 billion is still a high price tag for a company that lost more than $58 million with a revenue of $4 million in 2023.  

Experts have said the company is overvalued compared with other social media platforms, thanks in part to investments by Trump supporters. Shortly before the company went public, an auditing firm warned that Trump Media’s operating losses “raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.”

Trump defended the company on Truth Social last week, writing that he believes the company is “very solid” and "growing fast."
