Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) filed an SEC Form 8-K — Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Exhibit 99.1 Trump Media & Technology Group Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results ~ Total Assets of $2.0 Billion and Over $1.9 Billion in Financial Assets * ~ ~ Launch of First Data Licensing Product, Truth API ~ ~ Legacy Legal Matters Resolved as TMTG Moves Toward Prospective Merg
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can reassess near-term fundamentals using the new Truth API launch details and the reported loss and cash usage, while also monitoring the reiterated Q4 2026 merger target and legal-expense decline expectation.
Market read
Primary earnings and operational disclosures plus a newly launched monetization product can drive sentiment into the scheduled earnings call.
What to watch
Adjusted EBITDA loss is still large and heavily non-cash; merger execution and regulatory/closing conditions for TAE in Q4 2026 remain a key overhang that could dominate near-term pricing.

Analysis
Trump Media reported $1.7 million in second-quarter revenue, up 89 percent from $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The release did not provide revenue by segment, gross profit, operating income, net income per share, or a prior-quarter revenue comparison. Management highlighted Truth+ entering full commercial availability, an expanded content phase for Truth Social, and the August 1, 2026 launch of Truth API as operating developments.
Profitability remained deeply negative. The company reported a $238.1 million net loss and a $223.5 million Adjusted EBITDA loss. It said the vast bulk of the net loss reflected non-cash losses, including $190.4 million of unrealized losses on digital assets, digital assets pledged, and equity securities, alongside $11.7 million of accreted interest and $8.1 million of stock based compensation. These items make digital-asset and equity-security valuations central to interpreting the reported loss.
The balance-sheet presentation is the principal financial offset in the release. TMTG ended the quarter with total assets of $2.0 billion and approximately $1.9 billion in non-GAAP financial assets. Operating cash flow was negative, with $13.7 million of cash used in operating activities. The release specifically identified $25.6 million of legal expenses, primarily related to legacy litigation, and management expects significant legal expenses to decline materially after substantially resolving those matters.
Capital allocation is focused on a digital asset treasury management framework intended to preserve long-term strategic exposure while managing volatility and improving balance-sheet productivity. The release provided no repurchase, dividend, debt, free-cash-flow, or cash-balance figure. It also did not provide a prior-quarter comparison, so the reported filing does not establish sequential changes in revenue, losses, cash use, or assets.
The stated strategic priorities are completion of the prospective TAE Technologies merger in the fourth quarter of 2026, continued platform enhancement and marketing, and monetization through data licensing. Truth API had more than ten customer agreements signed to date and was described as already generating revenue, but the filing did not quantify Truth API revenue or provide revenue, margin, expense, or tax-rate guidance. The most important disclosed operating milestones are merger progress, legal-cost reduction, and evidence that Truth API and the broader media platforms can add measurable revenue.
Management, verbatim
Over the past few months, we've sharpened our strategic direction and brought real discipline to how we allocate capital. We’re making meaningful progress toward our proposed merger with TAE Technologies, which we believe is the most important driver of long-term shareholder value and a natural extension of our commitment to building durable, un-cancellable infrastructure, this time in energy security. At the same time, we’ve refined our approach to capital allocation to better direct resources to the core pillars of our media business, and that effort is already yielding results.
Kevin McGurn, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Trump Media & Technology Group

Background
DJT (Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth.Fi) reported Q2 2026 financial results and described strategic priorities including a prospective merger with TAE Technologies.
Ticker impact
DJT filed an 8-K with Q2 2026 results, reporting $1.7M revenue, $238.1M net loss, and launching Truth API with signed customer agreements.
Near-term volatility likely around the earnings call and any market reaction to Truth API traction versus continued large non-cash losses and merger execution risk.
This is a primary disclosure (8-K) with specific figures and a new product launch date, but it does not provide guidance or merger terms beyond a Q4 2026 target, limiting directional certainty.
Market effects
Highlights monetization attempts in social media data licensing and the role of digital-asset treasury management, relevant to other alt-media and fintech-adjacent issuers.
Limited, primarily US-focused investor base and Nasdaq/NYSE Texas listing.
Low, as the disclosures are company-specific and not tied to global macro policy.
Counterpoint
Truth API traction may be early and small relative to ongoing non-cash loss drivers, so the product launch may not materially change valuation quickly.
