Trump Media moves closer to novel shareholder token airdrop
Simply Wall St estimates 41% of Trump Media shares are held by individual insiders, 32% by the general public and 23% by institutions.
US President Donald Trump’s media company has advanced plans for its “first-of-its-kind” shareholder token airdrop, setting Feb. 2 as the record date used to determine eligibility.
The record date, or “snapshot” date, means that anyone with at least one share in Trump Media and is a “beneficial owner” or “registered holder” as of Feb. 2 is eligible for the non-tradable digital rewards token, the company announced on Tuesday.
