Truth Social-parent Trump Media & Technology (DJT) and Yorkville America Equities announced the Tuesday launch of a batch of five Truth Social ETFs on the New York Stock Exchange. The funds reportedly concentrate on companies with a "Made in America focus spanning diverse industries."
In a press release before Tuesday's stock market open, Trump Media said the ETFs are part of the Truth.Fi fintech brand. The ETFs are Truth Social American Security & Defense ETF, trading under the ticker TSSD; Truth Social American Next Frontiers ETF, with the ticker TSFN; Truth Social American Icons ETF, under the ticker TSIC; Truth Social American Energy Security ETF, with a ticker of TSES; and Truth Social American Red State REITs ETF, that will begin trading Tuesday with the ticker of TSRS.
Yorkville America Equities is the sponsor and investment advisor for the Truth Social exchange traded funds and MarketVector Indexes is the administrator of the indexes that these Truth Social ETFs will track, according to Trump Media.
Yorkville America Equities and Trump Media plan to launch additional ETFs in 2026, including equity-based ETFs as well as digital asset-based funds made available through Crypto.com's broker dealer, Foris Capital, according to the company's release Tuesday.
"We're gratified to make available a slate of ETFs for patriotic investors who want to invest in American ingenuity. These unique funds provide an excellent way for Americans to express their optimism about the strength, resiliency, and immense future prospects of the American economy," Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes said in Tuesday's press release.
Yorkville America CEO Troy Rillo added Tuesday that the Truth Social ETFs "represents a transformative global opportunity to channel capital toward American strength, innovation, and self-reliance."
The launch of the five ETFs follows the news, on Dec. 18, that Trump Media agreed to merge with nuclear fusion company TAE Technologies in an all-stock transaction valued at more than $6 billion. The deal makes Trump Media one of first publicly traded nuclear fusion companies as AI data center demand has supercharged nuclear stocks throughout the 2025 stock market.

DJT Stock History
Trump Media stock entered Tuesday's stock market up 14% in December, but remains down 62% on the year. DJT shares angled 2.8% lower Tuesday.
Meanwhile, among the new ETFs, Truth Social American Security & Defense ETF (TSSD) gained 0.2% to 24.98 on Tuesday. Truth Social American Next Frontiers ETF (TSFN) edged up 0.1% to 24.99 with Truth Social American Energy Security ETF (TSES) declining a fraction to 25.10. Truth Social American Red State REITs ETF (TSRS) edged 0.1% lower to 25.06 Tuesday while Truth Social American Next Frontiers ETF (TSFN) did not appear to be active.
Throughout the 2024 election cycle, DJT often acted as a Donald Trump sentiment indicator, hitting short-term highs following the assassination attempt against Trump near Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. The stock responded negatively after the Sept. 12, 2024, presidential debate between Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Special purpose acquisitions company DWAC took Trump Media and Technology Group, or TMTG, public in a reverse merger. After a prolonged battle, DWAC stockholders voted in favor of the special purpose acquisition company's merger with TMTG.
Trump in December 2024 shifted ownership of all 114.75 million of his shares to the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, according to regulatory filings.
Following that move, Trump does not directly own any DJT shares. The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is the trustee of the trust and has sole voting and investment power over all securities it owns.
