Trump Media and Technology Group, with its stock ticker DJT, experienced a substantial surge in share prices, jumping over thirty-five percent on Thursday. This significant increase was due to the announcement of a merger with TAE Technologies, a company specializing in fusion power. This strategic move underscores the growing interest in energy solutions for artificial intelligence and data centers. The deal, valued at over six billion dollars, is a significant bet on the future of fusion energy, which, like the sun, produces no carbon emissions and less radioactive waste than traditional nuclear power. The agreement includes an immediate two hundred million dollars in cash to initiate construction on TAEs first large-scale fusion power plant, set to begin in 2026. Post-merger, both companies will own half of the new entity, with Trump Media, currently mostly owned by President Trump’s Revocable Trust, becoming the holding company for Truth Social, Truth Plus, Truth Fi, and TAE, among other ventures. This partnership aligns with the Trump administrations focus on energy independence and dominance, as recently emphasized by the Department of Energys roadmap for fusion.
