Latest SPAC News: DWAC jumps after Trump posts on Truth Social, and Eve provides business updates
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.
