Trump Media's Big Move: What's Next for the Company?
Florida, USAThu May 01 2025
Trump Media and Technology Group has just received the green light from its shareholders to make a significant change. The company is set to leave Delaware and reincorporate in Florida. This decision was backed by a overwhelming majority, with 136 million votes in favor and only around 270, 000 votes against.
The move to Florida is just one of the big changes happening at Trump Media. Shareholders also approved a plan to increase the number of shares available for compensation. Starting in 2026 and continuing until 2034, the company will add 5 percent of its outstanding common shares each year. This could mean an additional 11 million shares added to the pool in 2026 alone.
In addition to these changes, shareholders also voted to appoint Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP as the company's new auditor. This firm will now be responsible for ensuring the company's financial records are accurate and up-to-date.
So, what does all this mean for Trump Media and Technology Group? The company has big plans. CEO Devin Nunes has been talking about new products and services. These include a verified status badge for Truth Social app subscribers, a utility token for the Truth digital wallet, and new investment options under the Truth. Fi banner. All of these new offerings will have an "America-first" theme.
However, it's important to note that Trump Media has not yet shown any significant earnings. For the year ending December 31, the company reported only $3. 6 million in sales. When you remove the amortization of deferred revenue, the actual billings for the year were just around $200, 000. This raises questions about the company's financial health and its ability to deliver on its ambitious plans.
The company's future will depend on its ability to turn these plans into reality. With the shareholder approvals in place, Trump Media and Technology Group is now free to move forward with its reincorporation and other initiatives. But can it translate these changes into real success? Only time will tell.
