Trump Media Company Valuation Soars Amid Meme Stock Frenzy
- Meme stock mania has boosted the valuation of Trump's media company, Truth Social, beyond established companies like Etsy and Hasbro
- Truth Social's parent company TMTG is now worth over $9 billion based on its share price, making Trump's stake worth over $5 billion
- Trump's estimated net worth has increased by $4.7 billion this year to around $7.8 billion due to Truth Social
- Retail investors who boosted meme stocks like GameStop seem to be piling into TMTG stock and propelling its price higher
- TMTG's valuation is extremely high relative to its revenue and profits, but meme stock buyers tend to ignore fundamentals and get caught up in hype
