Donald Trump’s company, TMTG, is set to merge with nuclear fusion energy firm TAE Technologies.
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind the social media platform Truth Social and linked to U.S. President Donald Trump, announced a merger agreement with nuclear fusion energy company TAE Technologies valued at more than $6 billion.
The all-stock deal aims to position the combined entity as one of the world’s first publicly traded nuclear fusion energy companies.
Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of TMTG and TAE will each own approximately 50% of the new group once the transaction is completed. The merger is expected to close in mid-2026, subject to regulatory approvals and shareholder consent.
Donald Trump’s company seals a multibillion-dollar deal
TMTG has agreed to contribute up to $200 million in cash at closing, with an additional $100 million available after filing registration documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The newly formed company plans to identify a site and begin construction in 2026 of what it describes as the “first utility-scale fusion power plant,” with an initial generation capacity of 50 megawatts of electricity. Future projects could expand capacity to between 350 and 500 megawatts.
This technology, which seeks to replicate the process that occurs in the sun by fusing light atomic nuclei, promises abundant, stable, and low-emission energy, although it has yet to be commercially proven.
Founded in 1998, TAE Technologies is backed by major investors including Google, Chevron, and Goldman Sachs. The company has built and operated several fusion reactor prototypes and has raised more than $1.3 billion in private capital, according to reports.
Diversified business strategy
Beyond fusion energy, TAE also operates business units focused on energy storage and bioscience solutions.
For Trump Media, which suffered significant operating losses and a sharp decline in its share price during 2025, the deal represents an effort to diversify into highly complex technology and energy sectors, following earlier expansion into crypto assets and financial services.
TMTG shares reacted positively to the announcement, rising more than 24% in premarket trading.
Executives from both companies—Devin Nunes of TMTG and Michl Binderbauer of TAE—will serve as co-chief executives of the new entity, which will also include divisions such as TAE Power Solutions and TAE Life Sciences under the Trump Media & Technology Group umbrella.
