Trump Media Announces Record Date for Digital Token Initiative
DJT Shareholders as of Feb. 2 Eligible to Participate
SARASOTA, Fla., Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) ("Trump Media" or the “Company”), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, today announced the record date for its recently-announced digital token initiative will be February 2, 2026.
Ultimate beneficial owners and registered holders of at least one whole share of DJT stock as of the record date will be eligible to receive tokens and associated incentives. While Trump Media will actively seek information for all eligible holders from broker participants, designation as an objecting beneficial owner (“OBO”) may delay or inhibit timely information sharing. Therefore, shareholders may consider contacting their broker-dealer to confirm designation as a non-objecting beneficial owner (“NOBO”), or moving their shares to a Direct Registration (“DRS”) account at the Company’s transfer agent, Odyssey Transfer & Trust Company.
Following the record date, Trump Media will partner with Crypto.com to mint the digital tokens, display them on the blockchain, and custody the digital assets pending distribution. Additional details regarding the process for the planned allocation and distribution of tokens to eligible shareholders as of February 2 will be forthcoming.
Additionally, as previously announced, Trump Media anticipates various rewards being made available to record-date shareholders periodically throughout the year. Such rewards may include benefits or discounts tied to Trump Media products such as Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth Predict.
Trump Media's CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said: “We look forward to leveraging Crypto.com’s blockchain technology consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance to benefit our shareholders and promote transparency, including by obtaining a clear picture of bona fide beneficial ownership as of the record date.”
Disclaimer Regarding Digital Tokens
It is anticipated that the digital tokens distributed to Trump Media shareholders will not in and of themselves represent an ownership interest in Trump Media or any other entity, nor should token holders expect rewards to include profits from the essential managerial efforts of others. It is further anticipated that the tokens will not be transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash, and that only ultimate beneficial owners of DJT shares as of February 2, 2026 (not including borrowers of stock) will be eligible to receive digital tokens. Trump Media reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify or terminate this distribution or any of the terms and conditions relating to the distribution at any time, with or without prior notice.
