Trump Media & Technology Group has entered preliminary discussions to separate its Truth Social social media platform into an independent publicly listed company. The conversations include TAE Technologies and Texas Ventures Acquisition III, operating as a special purpose acquisition vehicle.
According to the proposed structure, a newly formed company — temporarily designated SpinCo — would combine with Texas Ventures III through a reverse merger. Current Trump Media investors would receive proportional equity in SpinCo upon completion.
No binding terms have been finalized. Company representatives indicate negotiations remain active and ongoing.
This spinoff consideration emerges after Trump Media announced its December combination agreement with TAE Technologies, a transaction carrying an estimated valuation exceeding $6 billion. TAE operates as a nuclear fusion research company headquartered in California with financial backing from technology and energy giants including Google and Chevron.
That strategic merger concentrates on commercial-scale fusion energy generation, addressing projected power requirements from artificial intelligence computing infrastructure. Separating Truth Social would effectively divide the company’s social media operations from its emerging energy investment.
Trump Media disclosed a net loss totaling $712.3 million throughout 2025. This represents a substantial increase from the $400.9 million deficit recorded during 2024.
The expanded losses stemmed predominantly from mark-to-market adjustments on digital asset positions, particularly Bitcoin and Cronos tokens. Revenue generation remained essentially stagnant, climbing marginally from $3.62 million to $3.68 million year-over-year.
Despite recording substantial losses, Trump Media concluded 2025 holding approximately $2.5 billion in liquid and financial assets. This figure substantially exceeds the $776.8 million balance sheet position from the previous year’s conclusion.
Digital Asset Strategy
Trump Media entered the cryptocurrency sector through its financial technology division branded as Truth.Fi. The company accumulated a Bitcoin reserve exceeding 11,500 BTC by late September 2025.
Additionally, the organization submitted regulatory filings for multiple cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds operating under the Truth Social brand umbrella. Proposed funds encompass Bitcoin and Ethereum investment vehicles, plus a specialized Cronos fund incorporating staking mechanisms.
The Cronos-focused ETF connects to Trump Media’s strategic alliance with Crypto.com. The partnership led to establishing a CRO token treasury collaboratively with Crypto.com and Yorkville Acquisition during September.
Trump Media has submitted numerous ETF registration documents to United States financial regulators. Regulatory approval remains pending for all applications.
Fusion Energy Ambitions
TAE Technologies has secured funding exceeding $1 billion from institutional investors. The company specializes in alternative fusion approaches engineered to minimize radioactive byproducts relative to conventional nuclear fission technologies.
The combination with TAE would establish a publicly accessible investment vehicle concentrated on fusion energy commercialization. Trump Media views this transaction as an opportunity to diversify beyond traditional media revenue streams.
Truth Social was developed targeting conservative-leaning demographics but has encountered challenges achieving substantial user expansion. The platform faces competition from established social media ecosystems with significantly larger user bases.
The corporation’s consolidated assets experienced nearly threefold growth year-over-year notwithstanding the operating losses. Asset accumulation derived primarily from cryptocurrency acquisitions and related securities investments executed throughout 2025.
