June 25, 2025 – Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent company of Truth Social, has seen a notable uptick in its stock price following the announcement of a $400 million stock buyback program on June 23, 2025.
The stock, which has experienced significant volatility throughout the year, rose approximately 3% in recent trading, signaling renewed investor interest despite a 46% decline in value year-to-date.
On June 23, 2025, Trump Media announced a $400 million stock buyback initiative aimed at improving its financial flexibility.
The company, founded by President Donald Trump, stated that the buyback would be funded separately from its Bitcoin treasury strategy, under which institutional investors will purchase $2.5 billion in stock to build a cryptocurrency reserve.
This move comes as the stock has lost nearly half its value in 2025, trading far above its fundamental valuations due to its status as a high-priced “meme” stock driven by Trump’s involvement as the majority shareholder.
The announcement provided a short-term boost, with shares climbing close to 3% on Monday.
However, the stock remains near its pre-merger low, currently at $18, a level it has tested multiple times since the end of the lockup period for millions of shares in September 2024.
Analysts note that the buyback could stabilize the stock by reducing the number of shares available, potentially countering the downward pressure from earlier sell-offs.
Investor Sentiment on X: Optimism Meets Skepticism
Investor sentiment on X reflects a polarized yet cautiously optimistic view of Trump Media’s latest moves.
Posts on the platform highlight the stock’s volatility, with some users viewing the buyback as a positive signal of confidence in the company’s future.
For instance, a post from @Investingcom on November 4, 2024, noted a 5.3% post-market surge in DJT shares after a 12.4% climb in the previous session, tying the stock’s performance to rising odds of Trump’s political influence.
Earlier posts, however, underscore the stock’s turbulent history. @charliebilello on September 3, 2024, reported a 77% drop from its March 26 peak, with the market cap falling from $10.9 billion to $3.6 billion.
@hugolowell on October 15, 2024, described DJT as an “election gambling proxy,” loosely correlated with betting market movements, suggesting speculative trading drives much of its price action.
Despite these concerns, the recent buyback announcement has reignited bullish sentiment, with some X users speculating that the stock could rebound further if Trump Media expands into financial services, as hinted in a January 29, 2025, post by @KobeissiLetter about a $250 million investment in SMAs, ETFs, and crypto.
Skeptics remain, with users like @AnaCabrera pointing to a 75% value loss since the stock’s Nasdaq debut on March 26, 2024, and @CoffeyTimeNews on April 1, 2024, calling its $7 billion valuation “a joke.”
These posts reflect ongoing doubts about the company’s fundamentals, given its limited revenue and reliance on Trump’s personal brand.
Broader Market Context
The stock’s performance comes amid a complex market environment shaped by geopolitical developments and Trump’s policy announcements.
On June 23, 2025, CNBC reported that stocks rose as investors bet on a delicate ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which could stabilize oil prices and reduce market uncertainty.
This optimism benefited sectors like consumer discretionary, which gained 1.75%, and airline stocks like United and Delta, which rose over 2%.
However, Trump Media’s stock remains sensitive to Trump’s political actions, with his recent Truth Social posts escalating tensions and briefly pushing oil prices up 4% on June 17, 2025, before markets stabilized.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s commentary on June 23, 2025, also influenced investor sentiment.
Powell indicated that the central bank is in no rush to cut interest rates, awaiting clarity on how Trump’s proposed tariffs might impact the economy.
JP Morgan analysts warned of a potential 40% chance of a U.S. recession in the second half of 2025 due to trade policies, adding caution to market outlooks.
Despite these headwinds, some investors see Trump Media’s buyback as a counterbalance to broader market volatility.
Beyond the buyback, Trump Media is exploring new revenue streams to bolster its financial position.
The company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy and plans to expand into financial services, including SMAs, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies, signal a shift from its core social media operations.
A June 16, 2025, filing for a cryptocurrency ETF, noted by The Globe and Mail, underscores this pivot, aligning with growing investor interest in digital assets.
These initiatives could diversify the company’s revenue base, though they carry significant risks due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies.

Outlook for Trump Media
While the $400 million buyback has sparked renewed interest, analysts remain divided on DJT’s long-term prospects.
Forbes highlighted on June 24, 2025, that the stock’s “near zero long-term gains” reflect its reliance on speculative trading rather than fundamental value.
The buyback may provide short-term price support, but sustained growth will depend on Truth Social’s ability to expand its user base and generate consistent revenue.
Investors on X are watching closely, with some anticipating further upside if Trump’s political influence drives engagement on the platform, while others remain wary of its meme-stock status.
As markets navigate Trump’s tariff policies, geopolitical tensions, and Federal Reserve decisions, Trump Media remains a high-risk, high-reward play.
The stock’s trajectory will likely hinge on the company’s ability to execute its financial services expansion and capitalize on its unique position as a politically charged investment vehicle.
