<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>Shares of Trump Media, the parent company of social media platform&nbsp;<strong>Truth Social,</strong>&nbsp;took a beating on Tuesday in the wake of Trump&#8217;s inauguration. The stock has moved up and down in recent months alongside Trump's&nbsp;chances of reelection. </p>
<p>Despite Tuesday&#8217;s sharp decline, Trump Media shares are still up close to 14% over the past three months, buoyed by Trump&#8217;s election win in November. Trump owns more than a 50% stake in Trump Media, or roughly 114.5 million shares.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s possible that some of the profit-taking in Trump Media shares on Tuesday could be the result of money flowing into Trump&#8217;s recently-launched meme coin <strong>Trump</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), which was up approximately 18% over 24 hours at last check.</p>

<p>Trump Media management acknowledged last quarter that the price action in Trump Media shares may be detached from the company's fundamentals because of its ties to Trump.</p>
