The share price of Trump Media soared by more than 12% in afternoon trading Monday, continuing a stunning rise that began in mid-April.
Trump Media owns the Truth Social app frequently used by the company's majority shareholder, former President Donald Trump.
Over the next several weeks, share prices cratered, ending up with a low closing price of $22.80 on April 16.
Since then, Trump Media shares have more than doubled in price, adding billions of dollars to the company's market capitalization, and to the ex-president's stake.
Earlier Monday, Trump Media released updated information to shareholders advising them how to avoid having their stock shares loaned out for use by short sellers to bet the price drops.
