"Since it began public trading on March 26, Trump Media's share price has fallen more than 62%, from an opening price of $70.90 that day down to around $27 on Monday." Emphasis is mine.
Right now it's trading at $23.10.
Trump Media falls 18% after filing plans to issue more DJT stock (cnbc.com)
It began publically trading as DJT on March 26th, that's when the retail investors starting buying and the ones that did are way down now. It's probably OK with them though, the money isn't has important as supporting Trump. Of course, they'll complain about inflation and not being able to afford groceries while that feverishly refresh the stock quote.
Lyin' Liberal or Lo Info Trumpster? You decide.
Issuing more stock when the stock price is dropping is the exact opposite of what a fiscally responsible or honest company should do. It should be buying up its own stock to shore up the share price.
Except...DJT has not a dime of cash.
Remember when conservatives have howled about the government "printing money"? How, exactly, is a worthless company printing more of its own stock any different?
Oh, and that will depress the price of DJT even further, as any issuance of new shares will dilute whatever paltry value the existing shares have.
