Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) and TAE Technologies, Inc. amended TAE’s unsecured convertible note held by TMTG, with a $200 million first tranche and the option for TAE to request up to $100 million more. Principal outstanding is capped at $300 million plus PIK interest. The second-tranche period began with TMTG’s Form S-4 filing on September 30, 2026, and ends on the earlier of November 29, 2026, or termination of the merger agreement; requests must be at least $50 million unless TMTG agrees otherwise. Interest accrues at 7% per annum and is added to principal without compounding; accrued unpaid interest was $10,969,863.01 as of September 30, 2026.
The note converts automatically upon a TAE financing raising at least $300 million, excluding merger-related equity issuances; other conversion rights apply in specified financing, merger-termination and maturity circumstances. TMTG also receives pre-conversion voting rights, calculated using 25% of principal plus accrued unpaid interest. Separately, TMTG filed a Form S-4 for the proposed all-stock merger; the registration statement has not yet become effective, and the companies said each side would own approximately 50% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis if the merger closes.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) is registering approximately 292,555,942 shares of common stock for issuance to TAE Technologies stockholders in the proposed merger, subject to completion. TAE will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary. Before closing, TAE preferred shares will convert to TAE common shares; each eligible TAE common share will then entitle its holder to TMTG shares under a fixed exchange ratio based on the companies’ fully diluted equity shares, excluding shares issuable under TMTG convertible notes. The share estimate reflects TAE shares outstanding or issuable under equity awards and warrants as of September 15, 2026.
Closing requires TMTG shareholder approval of the Articles Amendment and share-issuance proposals, plus TAE stockholder approval, and remains subject to other closing conditions. The parties expect closing in late 2026 and before the December 18, 2026 end date. The proposed amendment would increase authorized TMTG common shares from 999,000,000 to 1,998,000,000. Separately, TMTG provided TAE $200 million in cash under a convertible promissory note, with another $100 million available upon filing of the registration statement, subject to the note’s terms. At closing, TMTG will issue 6,000,000 shares to Yorkville Ives, LLC for advisory services.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) furnished a transcript of Interim CEO Kevin McGurn’s appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, where he outlined the company’s strategy around its Truth Social data product, Truth API, and other initiatives. McGurn described Truth API as a recurring-revenue service selling real-time, machine-readable Truth Social content to institutional clients, noting prior reporting that some hedge funds pay about $100,000 per month and that the number of subscribing firms has grown into the mid-teens, including a newly signed major financial data distributor. He said the company aims to expand distribution to retail trading platforms, large language models and prediction markets, and emphasized his mandate to build recurring revenue for “hundreds of thousands” of shareholders.
McGurn also discussed a proposed “merger of equals” with TAE Technologies, stating that TAE is completing audits and that the planned transaction targets a $6 billion valuation, with an S-4 filing anticipated as the next step.

McGurn noted that the company recently ended and settled a number of legal matters, which he expects will lower legal capex in the next quarter.
