Despite losses, Trump's Truth Social could be valued at $5.7 (£4.51) billion, boosting his net worth by $4 (£3.16) billion.
The former president's media company announced a merger last week.
The deal gives the parent company of Truth Social more than $275 million of much-needed capital, and provides a windfall on paper for Trump as he faces a mounting series of legal and financial woes.
For the first time in almost 30 years, part of Donald Trump’s business empire is going public.
Shares of Donald Trump’s social media company jumped more than 30% in the first day of trading on the Nasdaq, boosting the value of the former president's large stake in the company in the process. Trump Media & Technology Group runs the social media platform Truth Social. Before trading began, Trump Media had a market value of about $6.8 billion, a figure that will rise significantly if the gains in the shares hold. The shares are trading under the ticker symbol “DJT.” Trump holds a nearly 60% ownership stake in the company.
