CNN —Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Nasdaq over a routine trading halt in shares of his social media company and even threatened to move the listing to the New York Stock Exchange.
“Why is NASDAQ halting the sale of DJT?” Trump said Friday on Truth Social, referring to the ticker symbol of Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group.
For Trump Media (DJT), the first halt occurred at 2:26 p.m.
Nasdaq explained the halts were caused by what’s known as limit up-limit down, rules designed to “protect investors and the public interest.”Even though all of this appeared to be routine, Trump threatened to punish Nasdaq.
“I am going to hold NASDAQ, and maybe the SEC, liable for doing what they are doing,” he said in his Truth Social post.
