In addition to Truth Social, TMTG also operates streaming platform Truth+ and Fin-Tech brand Truth.fi. In the first quarter, the company said it “continues to focus on building its ecosystem, improving existing platforms and diversifying into financial services.”
“Trump Media believes its robust and uncancellable infrastructure, expanding range of services, and strong balance sheet that includes $759.0 million of cash and investments strongly positions the Company to begin implementing monetization plans on its platforms, fully launch Truth.Fi financial products, and continue pursuing new assets and/or partnerships, including via potential mergers and acquisitions,” TMTG said in the Q1 earnings press release.
The company said the Trump media’s mission is to end Big Tech’s attack on freedom of speech by opening the internet and giving back to people.”
