Investors have begun to lose confidence in the Trump Media stock following its reported third-quarter loss totaling to $54.8 million. Can the stock recover from the loss incurred?
Trump Media’s stock (DJT) remains under pressure after a steep 70% decline from its previous high, reflecting investor doubts about its ability to recover from mounting losses and weak revenue. The company’s stock price recovery will depend on whether the company can turn investor hype into real financial progress through stronger revenue growth, Bitcoin accumulation and operational stability.
Third-Quarter Financial Performance
According to a press release, Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, reported a $54.8 million loss in its third-quarter earnings following a decline in revenue. This is not new, considering the company has been consistently posting losses since it went public last year.
Compared to the previous year, the company’s loss has nearly tripled from the $19.2 million loss from the same period. On the other hand, TMTG’s revenue fell by 3.8% to $972,900 as of September 2025. The company’s revenue is primarily generated from paid advertising on the Truth Social platform.
This quarter’s earnings report did not bode well for investors, as the market saw the company’s stock plummet by nearly 15% within the past 5 days. At the previous close, the stock was trading on the market at a price of $13.10.
Prospects for Stock Recovery
DJT has fallen by nearly 70% from its previous high of $43.45. This marks a sharp decline in investor confidence. Despite a modest pre-market rise to $13.36, the broader trend remains bearish. Trump Media & Technology Group’s market cap currently sits as $3.67 billion.
However, much of the company’s valuation depends on political sentiment, fueled by Trump’s updates on Truth Social, as well as other sentiment-driven price swings.
The stock’s apparent stabilization at the $13 level could indicate short-term support, but the absence of sustained volume spikes suggests that buying momentum is still weak. Without a fresh catalyst, such as a revenue breakthrough, new partnerships, or substantial user growth for Truth Social, DJT could have a hard time recovering as it remains under pressure from the earnings report.
However, there are other opportunities to lift up its stock price.
Impact of Bitcoin Holdings
Despite the drop in corporate finances, the company reportedly holds about $3.1 billion in crypto holdings, specifically Bitcoin (BTC). The company currently holds 11,542 BTC on its balance sheet. According to the press release, the company gained $15.3 million in realized income from option premiums associated with its Bitcoin-linked securities as well as $13.4 million of interest income from other financial holdings.
“This resulted in $61.1 million in combined realized income from both [Bitcoin-related] sources year to date through September 30, 2025,” wrote the company.
Historically, Bitcoin accumulation and income generated from BTC holdings have helped to catapult stock prices, as seen in companies like Metaplanet, Strategy and the Smarter Web Company. TMTG could very well benefit from a Bitcoin accumulation strategy to bump up its stock price.
Trump Media’s CEO and President Devin Nunes expressed confidence in the company’s crypto accumulation strategy in elevating the value of the company. Despite the drop in revenue and reporting losses yet again, Nunes stated that it has “secured our financial future with a massive Bitcoin treasury.”
“With these financial assets now earning income, alongside our second consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow, we’re well-poised to act on our mergers and acquisitions strategy by acquiring one or more of the crown jewel assets we’re now evaluating,” said Nunes.
