Former President Donald Trump’s social media company says media reports it is in financial trouble are “knowingly false bar talk,” pointing to regulatory filings showing it raised more than $15 million and has enough operating capital until at least next spring.
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) provided Just the News with a defiant statement on Sunday after Just the News inquired about speculative reports in Fox Business and The Washington Post suggesting the parent company behind the Truth Social app was cash-strapped.
Fox Business suggested the Trump company’s finances were in ” significant disarray ,” while the Post said there were “signs that the company’s financial base has begun to erode .”
But TMTG told Just the News it was launching its first advertising on the Truth Social app, which experts expect could generate millions of ad impressions a day, and that the new revenues would augment $15 million in bridge loans raised earlier in the year that was projected in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing to cover the company’s operating through next April.
The company also flexed its muscle a few weeks ago when it helped country music star John Rich launch a new song that instantly soared to #1 on the Apple Music charts
“Truth Social is on strong financial footing, as evidenced by TMTG’s ability to recently raise $15 million in bridge funding,” the company said in its statement. “Any assertion to the contrary is knowingly false bar talk maliciously designed to harm Truth Social investors.
“Moreover, these falsehoods are easily contradicted by both publicly available filings and Truth Social’s latest accomplishments, which include propelling country music star John Rich’s new single to #1 on iTunes for nearly two weeks.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
