Its share price as of 2:36 p.m. ET Monday was $36.24 per share, a 10.72 decrease for the day.
Trump Media’s market cap stood at $4.9 billion at that point, about $3.5 billion or so lower than what it reached at its peak trading price right after it became a publicly held company.
Trump personally owns 78.75 million shares of its stock, which was worth about $2.85 billion. Trump stands to receive another 36 million shares of DJT if the stock hits certain share price benchmarks over the next three years.
