Item 8.01
Other Events.

As previously disclosed, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (the "Company") sent a letter to Nasdaq, Inc. ("Nasdaq") regarding potential market manipulation of the stock of the Company and opportunities to collaborate with Nasdaq on matters related to short selling. Subsequently, a third party named in the letter issued a public statement attacking the integrity of Devin Nunes, our Chief Executive Officer. As result, the Company responded with the following post on the Company's Truth Social platform:

"Rather than support our common sense efforts to promote transparency and compliance, Citadel Securities bizarrely targeted our CEO with an unhinged attack. Here's our response:

'Citadel Securities, a corporate behemoth that has been fined and censured for an incredibly wide range of offenses including issues related to naked short selling, and is world famous for screwing over everyday retail investors at the behest of other corporations, is the last company on earth that should lecture anyone on 'integrity.'' "

The response contained in the Truth Social post was also provided to several media outlets as a statement on behalf of the Company.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
