Digital World needed to get 65% of its roughly 400,000 shareholders to vote to approve the extension.
Shares of Digital World were trading at $16.80 on Tuesday, up 1.8% on the day but down from a peak of around $97 a share in March, 2022.
Digital World has faced a series of challenges since the October 2021 announcement that it was planning to acquire TMTG.
If DWAC's deal with TMTG closes, Trump Media would gain access to more than $1 billion in cash from DWAC's institutional investors, such as hedge funds.
According to a Feb. 2, 2021 services agreement, Trump controls 90% of Trump Media.
