The former U.S. president and Republican presidential candidate secured 36 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), increasing his stake from 57.6% as of March. Reuters reported last week that Trump would secure a stock bonus worth $1.3 billion from TMTG, equivalent to about half the majority stake he already owns in it, thanks to the wild rally in its shares. The bonus also reflects the exuberant trading in TMTG's shares, which have been on a roller coaster ride since the company listed on Nasdaq last month through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and was snapped up by Trump supporters and speculators.

A month before that, the implied volatility of a put option with a strike price that is 10% below the current level of the Nifty 50 Index is at 18%-20% on the National Stock Exchange.

"Our teams have been working with buyers, there's a pretty vast market out there, which is exciting," Drew Zieglgansberger, chief commercial officer at Cenovus, said on an earnings call, adding the company expected some "bumpiness" in the pipeline's initial operations.
