Trump and other company insiders were bound by lockup agreements that barred them from selling their shares in the initial months after Trump Media went public.
Those restrictions expired at the closing bell Thursday.
I bet he won't sell on Friday, which will lead to people having faith that Trump will stand by his word for once, the stock will go up a little, Monday he sells it all.
Certainly not a pump and dump...nope..nope...no way
At the moment, every single person who has paid money for a share so far is in the negative. Which is nice.
Needs to go way way further so that it's worthless to the people who created it out of thin air/got money laundering payments too.

Clearly the people that sold above $60 made money on all the suckers that were stupid enough to buy.
if you ever thought anything with trump involved was a good investment decision, then you deserve to lose on it
Shorted with options.
Really? The short interest is easy to high to make it worth it
If so then you were late to the table.
Trump, a main draw for Truth Social users and many retail investors in the company, said earlier in September that he will not sell his stake. The stock price briefly shot up after his remarks.
Other early investors have made no such promises. They include ARC Global, a sponsor of the blank-check firm that took Trump Media public, and United Atlantic Ventures, an entity controlled by two former contestants on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”
I believe it's not only that these investors made no promises not to sell, but that several of them specifically expressed that they would be selling as soon as they were legally allowed to do so.
It's hard to accurately value Truth Social. But I think if Trump were to leave the platform, its value would go to zero, and that makes it very risky. I just saw a price of 12.74. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still quite overvalued, and so it makes sense for those investors to try to sell at this price.
Closed at $12.44. I love it.
It's losing money hand over fist, has a tiny user base and little name recognition. They have no assets worth anything.
The fundamentals are clear: the stock is completely worthless except as a wild gamble. People would be better off investing in penny-stocks.

And as influence peddling/money laundering for Trump.
And we know Mr Trump hasn't dumped his stock because ... he said so?
Are we back to believing anything this lying felon says?
Anyone with over a 10% stake in a company has to give notice two days before any transactions.
If he sells now, the value drops immediately to zero and a big thing with Trump's name all over goes down in flames just before the election. That doesn't help him at the polls.
We can't trust him to do what he says, but we can trust him to look out for himself.
We can trust him to look out for himself as he sees it, not necessarily rationally. And also not to plan long-term if he needs a cash infusion now. Will be interesting (I guess) to see which pressure wins out
Trading volume accelerated significantly as the lockup lifted. More than 14 million shares changed hands on Thursday and nearly 22 million were exchanged Friday, far exceeding the 30-day average volume of about 8.3 million shares.
Worthless stick still worth more than $0.
