Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group, has announced its plans to merge with TAE Technologies, a leading nuclear fusion company, in an all-stock deal valued at over $6 billion. This merger marks a significant pivot for Trump Media, a company primarily known for its social media platform, Truth Social.

The move comes at a time when Truth Social has faced challenges in expanding beyond its core user base, reporting only $2.7 million in revenue over nine months and a sharp 69 percent decline in its stock value in 2025. However, shares of the company surged by 20 percent on Thursday following the merger announcement, as reported by The New York Times.

President Donald Trump is the largest shareholder in the company, with his stake currently valued at over $1 billion—significantly down from a peak of more than $4 billion. Trump’s shares are held in a trust managed by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who also serves on the company’s board. Trump himself has not publicly commented on the merger.

If the merger is finalized, it will create one of the first publicly traded nuclear fusion companies, a move that could have substantial implications for both the energy and tech sectors. Though nuclear fusion remains an experimental technology, it has generated growing interest due to its potential as a clean energy source, particularly for powering energy-intensive operations like AI data centers.

This bold move into the fusion power business could significantly reshape the future of Trump Media and its involvement in the rapidly evolving energy landscape.
