Trump had announced the launch of his social media app in Oct 2021, saying it would "stand up to Big Tech" companies such as Twitter and Facebook that previously barred him.
In 2022, Truth Social posted a loss of $50 million, with net sales of just $1.4 million.
It lost $23 million in the first half of this year, with net sales of $2.3 million.
Trump Media & Technology Group's (TMTG) independent registered public accounting firm has indicated that the financial condition raises substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern, according to the filing.
