Trump Media and Technology Group, owned by former President Donald Trump, will be going public after merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisitions company (SPAC).
The stock of the existing SPAC, DWAC, has been on a wild ride since the announcement, spiking from about US$10 to as much as US$175, then dropping back to around US$60 today. Quickly classed as a “meme stock” by market watchers, it promises to be volatile at least for a while as details of the company and its plans surface.
Shares of the SPAC can be bought and sold now like any stock. The SPAC deal likely won’t be complete until next year.
Here’s what we know about the deal so far and how to buy Trump Media and Technology Group stock when the company goes public.
