According to regulatory filings, Trump Media reported a loss of $58.2 million in 2023, contrasting with a profit of $50.5 million in 2022.
Revenue was a mere $4.1 million, though up from $1.5 million in 2022. However, fourth-quarter revenue fell 39% year-over-year to $751,500, disappointing investors.
