Trump Media & Technology Group Corp stock surged nearly 49% from its lowest level in June, boosting the net worth of President Donald Trump.

According to Forbes, Trump's net worth jumped by $600 million since DJT shares hit a 52-week low of $6.96 on June 26.

The gain is primarily attributable to his majority ownership stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, which is currently held through his Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. The President's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. serves as trustee of the shares and controls their voting and investment decisions.

Since its 2024 public listing, Trump's stake in TMTG has fallen from about 57% to 52% due to dilution and corporate actions, but he remains the company's largest shareholder.

Based on approximately 276.9 million shares of DJT outstanding, Trump's stake represents about 144 million shares. At DJT's current closing price of $10.38, the holding is worth roughly $1.49 billion, compared to $1 billion as of June 26 at $6.96, adding nearly $492.5 million in his shareholder value.

Forbes now estimates his wealth at $6.5 billion.

Truth API Opens New Revenue Stream

The recovery followed the July 17 launch of Truth API, a real-time data service giving financial and trading firms access to posts from major Truth Social accounts.

The service, a B2B feed, gives institutional investors real-time access to Trump's posts, creating a new data-licensing business for Trump Media while raising concerns over potential advantages from early access to market-moving information.

TMTG Interim CEO Kevin McGurn said Truth API will provide financial firms with real-time access to market-moving Truth Social posts, creating a new recurring revenue stream and adding shareholder value. TMTG said Truth API will provide posts within milliseconds and is built for high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms seeking real-time social media data.

Set to be launched for institutional investors on August 1, the service could cost between $60,000 and $100,000 a month, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Critics Slam Truth API Launch

Anthony Scaramucci criticized Truth API, alleging it gives hedge funds a trading advantage by providing faster access to Trump-related Truth Social posts, potentially disadvantaging retail investors.

Economist Peter Schiff criticized Trump Media's planned Truth API, alleging it lets institutional investors pay for faster access to Trump's market-moving posts and calling it an exploitation of the presidency for personal financial gain. Meanwhile, Political commentator Ed Krassenstein called the launch "blatant Trump family corruption," saying hedge funds and algorithmic traders could react before retail traders.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Realberry

Institutional-quality real estate has traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. Realberry gives accredited investors direct access to private real estate opportunities backed by a team with 35 years of experience, $3.4 billion in assets under management, and $481 million in cumulative distributions paid to investors as of Q4 2025, according to the company. With a portfolio spanning 13 million square feet across seven U.S. states, Realberry focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing real estate with an emphasis on long-term value creation while its principals often invest alongside clients to help align interests.

Named one of Deloitte's fastest-growing software companies in North America, the company has built a large beta user base and is scaling a model that turns everyday smartphone usage into a potential income stream.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.
