Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
Investing.com -- Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) tumbled 7% after the company filed to offer a significant number of shares and warrants, raising concerns about potential stock dilution among investors. The move comes as the company seeks to issue up to 8,370,686 shares upon the exercise of public warrants, alongside the offer and resale of up to 134,078,598 shares by selling securityholders.
The registration includes various types of shares, such as those issued in private placements, compensation shares for directors and officers, and shares held by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. The sale or perception of sale of these securities, which represent approximately 129.2% of the company’s public float and 60.8% of outstanding shares as of March 28, 2025, could lead to a significant decline in the public trading price of the company’s common stock.
The company has clarified that it will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by the selling securityholders, except for any cash received upon the exercise of the warrants. Furthermore, the possibility of warrant holders exercising their warrants for cash is dependent on the trading price of the company’s common stock, which, if it continues to be over $11.50 per share, could likely prompt warrant exercises.
The context also outlines that the planned sales could result in a positive rate of return for selling securityholders, particularly due to the lower purchase price of their shares. However, this might not be the case for public stockholders if the share price declines. It is worth noting that the closing price of the company’s common stock was $19.83 per share on March 28, 2025.
The filing also touched upon the Yorkville Shares and the possibility of the company receiving up to $2,500,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from sales of shares to Yorkville, although this is subject to certain conditions and limitations.
Investors appear to be reacting to the potential dilution effects of these offerings, which could increase the number of shares in circulation and, consequently, lower the value of existing shares. The company’s stock is currently listed on both the Nasdaq Global Market and NYSE Texas under the symbols "DJT" and "DJTWW," respectively.
