Why Shares of Digital World Acquisition Are Falling Today

Why Shares of Digital World Acquisition Are Falling Today

Shares of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Digital World Acquisition (NASDAQ: DWAC) were down more than 15% at 11:40 a.m. EST today for no obvious reason other than a general decline in the broader market, which is having a tough day today. Digital World Acquisition announced late last year that it intends to merge with and take public Trump Media & Technology Group, which is the parent company of Truth Social, a yet-to-launch social media company backed by former President Donald Trump. Truth Social says on its website that it encourages "an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology."
