Stock of SPAC Buying Truth Social Jumps After Trump Posts for First Time in Months

Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DWAC), the special purpose acquisition company that is buying the company behind Donald Trump’s Truth Social, soared in after-hours trading Thursday after Trump posted a message on the platform for the first time in months.

“I’M BACK! #COVFEFE,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon, with a photo of himself at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “Covfefe” was one of Trump’s more infamous Twitter typos, which grew into a meme of its own.

Shares of DWAC initially shot more than 25% higher late Thursday after Trump’s post, which suggested the former president may be more active on the fledgling social network, though gains settled to 15% by the end of the extended session. That was after the stock closed the regular trading day up about 8%, at $48.06.
