ChainCatcher reports that, according to Reuters, data from financial analytics firm S3 Partners shows that following Trump Media & Technology Group’s announcement last month to pursue a $6 billion all-stock merger with Google-backed fusion energy company TAE Technologies, short positions have recently surged significantly, increasing by 31% to nearly 16 million shares, approaching the highest level since October.
It is reported that Trump himself holds approximately 115 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, accounting for about 40% of the company’s shares. Due to equity dilution caused by the merger, Trump’s ownership stake will decrease to around 20% once merged with TAE.
