Trump Media & Technology will merge with a fusion power company in an all-stock deal that the companies said Thursday is valued at more than $6 billion.<\/p>\n

Shares of Trump Media & Technology<\/a>, the parent company of President Donald Trump\u2019s Truth Social media platform, have tumbled 70% this year but jumped 20% before the opening bell Thursday.<\/p>\n

TAE is a private company and the merger with Trump Media would create one of the first publicly traded nuclear fusion companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking a big step forward toward a revolutionary technology that will cement America\u2019s global energy dominance for generations,\u201d Nunes said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

TAE focuses on nuclear fusion, a technology that combines two light atomic nuclei to form a single heavier one. It releases enormous amount of energy, a process that occurs on the sun and other stars, according to the United Nation\u2019s International Atomic Energy Agency.<\/p>\n

TAE and Trump Media shareholders will each own approximately 50% of the combined company.<\/p>\n

The companies say the transaction values each TAE common stock at $53.89 per share.<\/p>\n

At closing, Trump Media & Technology Group will be the holding company for Truth Social and TAE, along with its subsidiaries TAE Power Solutions and TAE Life Sciences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
