"The primary way to "buy" Trump in 2025 was either the stock of his publicly traded media-finance-and-energy company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG, which has the ticker symbol "DJT"), or his cryptocurrency memecoin, Official TRUMP. Trump has plenty of other direct and derivative assets, from real estate to NFTs to other crypto ventures. But the publicly traded stock and cryptocurrency are the broadest - and easiest - way for the average investor to put money directly on the success of his business empire."
"State of play: Trump Media (DJT) shares fell 67%from the day before he took office through the end of 2025. The Global X Social Media ETF (SOCL), which includes Trump Media among its diverse holdings, was up 27% over the same period. The Nasdaq, which includes most of the listed social media companies among its broad array of tech stocks, was up 18% in that time."
Two publicly tradable assets provided the clearest way for investors to back Trump in 2025: Trump Media (DJT) stock and the Official TRUMP memecoin. Trump Media shares fell 67% from the day before he took office through the end of 2025, while the Global X Social Media ETF rose 27% and the Nasdaq rose 18% over the same period. Official TRUMP plunged after an initial run and was down 89% since Jan. 19. Dogecoin fell 67% and global crypto market capitalization fell 16% in the same window. Hypothetical $1,000 investments illustrate large divergences between DJT/Official TRUMP and broader benchmarks. Neither the White House nor the Trump Organization provided comment.
