Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, has reported a $238 million net loss for the second quarter of 2026, adding to financial concerns surrounding the social media venture. The results come as the new york times has highlighted declining traffic to Truth Social, according to data cited in reports.
The company recorded about $1.7 million in revenue between April and June, representing an increase of roughly 89 percent compared with the same period last year. Despite that growth, the company’s expenses and investment-related losses resulted in a substantial quarterly deficit.
Digital asset losses hit Trump Media
Digital assets played a major role in the company’s latest financial results.
Trump Media reported approximately $190.4 million in unrealised losses associated with digital assets, digital assets pledged as collateral and equity securities. The company also recorded additional costs, including accreted interest and stock-based compensation.
For the first half of 2026, TMTG’s net loss reached about $644 million, while revenue stood at approximately $2.5 million.
The figures underline the financial challenges facing the company as it attempts to expand beyond its core social media business.
Truth Social remains central to the company
Truth Social is the main platform operated by Trump Media & Technology Group. The company also owns Truth+, a streaming service, and Truth.Fi, a financial technology business.
TMTG has been pursuing new revenue opportunities as it attempts to build a broader media and technology operation. Its strategy includes investments and initiatives involving digital assets and financial services.
The company has also introduced Truth API, a subscription service designed to provide investors with access to posts from Truth Social accounts.
Truth Social traffic comes under pressure
The latest financial results arrive as Truth Social faces questions about its user growth and audience reach.
Data from Similarweb cited in reports showed a significant year-over-year decline in traffic to Truth Social in July. The figures indicate that the platform continues to face stiff competition from larger social media networks.
For Trump Media, maintaining user engagement will be important as the company seeks to increase advertising, subscription and other revenue opportunities.
Trump Media shares fall after results
Trump Media’s shares, which trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker DJT, also came under pressure following the release of the company’s financial results.
The sharp quarterly loss reflects the impact of its digital asset holdings and other investments. Although revenue increased compared with the previous year, it remains small relative to the company’s reported losses.
What comes next for Trump Media?
Trump Media is continuing to diversify its business as it looks for ways to generate sustainable revenue.
The company is betting on a combination of social media, streaming, financial technology and digital assets. However, its latest results show that it still has a considerable gap to close between revenue generation and overall costs.
The $238 million quarterly loss is likely to keep attention focused on whether Trump Media can convert its expanding business interests into consistent earnings while strengthening Truth Social’s audience.
