The timing is notable. TMTG is sitting on a Q1 2026 net loss of roughly $405.9 million, revenue that barely registers at $0.9 million, and a crypto portfolio that’s been bleeding value. The numbers tell a brutal story TMTG pulled in $0.9 million in revenue during Q1 2026. Total assets stand at $2.2 billion, with approximately $2.1 billion of that tied up in financial assets, predominantly cryptocurrency.
