A loss of 360 million? For a stock like this, driven by hype around a concept, it might just mean issuing a few more new shares. Only retail investors care about that.

If I had just held six months ago, my portfolio wouldn’t look this bad now. Sure enough, messing around is worse than just sitting tight.

They hype it to the skies when making money, but quietly record losses of over $3 million in their financial report. Now that’s a quiet PR move.

I’m really curious who’s behind that options strategy—how do you manage to turn more than 9,000 coins into this kind of loss? You should just switch careers and become a contrarian indicator.

Holding over 9,000 BTC for half a year and still losing more than 300 million—now that’s some trading.

Looking at it from another angle, at least they still have Bitcoin—what if it goes back up later? Still, that loss figure really hurts to look at.

Using over 6,000 coins as collateral to obtain convertible bonds, then setting up an options strategy… isn’t that just gambling on market direction with shareholders’ money? And if the bet loses, they still blame the market.

First Review
So is Truth Social planning to turn things around by speculating on crypto, or will it continue handing money to Wall Street? It feels like this company has already become crypto’s exit liquidity.
