 prospective mergers and acquisitions play in our strategy. I’ll describe how we built up this company from nothing and ended up, as of the end of 2024, with $777 million in cash reserves.

Anchored by Donald Trump’s restored social media account, Truth Social was stood up as we’d envisioned it—a free-speech haven where everyone, regardless of their political viewpoint, could speak their mind without some faceless tech bureaucrat judging the acceptability of their speech. Since we were all familiar with the lessons of Parler, a social media site that was essentially nuked off the Internet by an alliance of Big Tech firms, we largely bypassed Big Tech and instead partnered with mission-aligned
