Truth API will begin serving institutional clients on August 1, providing rapid access to ten prominent accounts and archival data from 2022 onward. TMTG confirms that customers have signed up but does not disclose specifics on names or totals. Reuters cited pricing at $100,000 per month, or $60,000 per month for three-year agreements. A single client at standard rates would generate $1.2 million annually—surpassing Q1 revenue of $871,200. Lawmakers have asked the SEC to review the deal; no breach has been determined. Total contracted revenue is still undisclosed. Reuters

TMTG has yet to confirm its date for second-quarter results. Estimates from independent sources place the announcement between July 31 and August 7. The timing has implications for this week’s scheduled catalysts. Investors plan to compare the revenue to Q1’s $871,200 figure and the net loss of $405.9 million. They will also assess whether the $17.9 million in operating cash flow seen in Q1 can be sustained. Most of that Q1 inflow was linked to the sale of put options that had been bought earlier.

As of March 31, TMTG reported digital assets totaling $700.1 million, with an additional $135.6 million pledged, bringing total direct digital exposure to $835.7 million. The firm also reported holdings of $554.1 million in publicly traded equity securities. During Q1, TMTG posted $244.0 million in digital-asset losses and $108.2 million in investment losses, mostly unrealized. The company’s current holdings may differ from those at the end of March, making present-day exposure unclear. SEC

DJT’s market value at $9.56 stands around $2.65 billion. For March, the company had book equity of $1.253 billion, or about 2.1 times book value. Total assets came in at $2.236 billion against $983.5 million in liabilities. A significant part of these assets consisted of crypto, ETFs, and other securities valued at market prices. These holdings are susceptible to sharp changes in volatile markets. The March data will remain current until TMTG issues its second-quarter results. SEC

As of March, debt stood at $958.6 million before lease liabilities. Convertible notes payable amounted to $953.3 million and were listed as current liabilities. Holders of these notes may require repayment in cash on November 30, 2026, for the principal plus any accrued interest. TMTG reported $249.1 million in cash holdings and $2.081 billion in total financial assets. Significant redemptions could prompt asset sales, refinancing efforts, or both. SEC

The TAE transaction, structured as an all-stock agreement, is valued at over $6 billion. Around 276 million new DJT shares are set to be issued to TAE shareholders. DJT currently has about 277 million shares outstanding. Following the completion, existing TMTG shareholders would together hold close to 50%. The most recent guidance targets a fourth-quarter 2026 closing at the latest, though it could happen sooner. TMTG has also put the planned media-business spin-off on hold. The deal still requires shareholder approval, SEC clearance, antitrust review, and listing authorization. SEC

The July 19 agreement ended all disputes between TMTG, Patrick Orlando, and ARC Global. The company stated that settlement details would stay confidential. TMTG reported no payment, share transfer, or immediate effect on its accounts. The resolution concludes the specific cases, though investors are unable to determine the settlement’s value with certainty. The precise financial impact will not be clear until future filings reveal further information. SEC

According to a June 19 filing, the trust owned 114.75 million shares. This was down from 276.95 million in May, a reduction to around 41.4%. With shares at $9.56, the holding totaled roughly $1.10 billion. Donald Trump is listed as the sole beneficiary, while Donald Trump Jr. exercises voting power. If 276 million merger shares are released, the share could decrease to about 21%. This projection assumes no shares are sold, transferred, or more are issued. SEC
