Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT) and TAE Technologies Inc. said Wednesday they remain focused on completing their previously announced merger, with the companies targeting a closing in the fourth quarter of 2026 or earlier. The deal, which would combine Trump Media's social media and digital assets with TAE's fusion energy technology, has been in the works for months.

Companies End Spin-Off Discussions

The companies also provided an update on a separate proposal involving Texas Ventures Acquisition III (TVA). As previously disclosed on Feb. 27, 2026, Trump Media, TAE Technologies, and Texas Ventures Acquisition III had been exploring a transaction that would have spun off certain Trump Media & Technology Group media assets, including Truth Social, into a newly public company that could later merge with Texas Ventures Acquisition III following completion of the merger.

After further review, the parties said they have decided not to continue pursuing the proposed spin-off at this time. The decision comes as the companies focus on the primary merger, which is expected to create a combined entity with interests in both media and clean energy.

Following completion of the merger, the board of directors of the combined company will evaluate potential strategic alternatives for its legacy business units, including Trump Media & Technology Group's media assets. The companies said the review will focus on opportunities to enhance shareholder value. That leaves the door open for a future spin-off or sale of Truth Social, but for now, it stays under the Trump Media umbrella.
