DJT’s $6 Billion Fusion Merger: All-Stock Deal with TAE Aims for Utility-Scale Energy Disruption
Historic Merger Paves Way for Fusion Energy Leadership
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) has signed a definitive agreement to merge with TAE Technologies in an all-stock transaction valued at more than $6 billion. The combined entity will stand as one of the world’s first publicly traded fusion companies, bringing together DJT’s capital access and TAE’s pioneering fusion technology.
Shareholders to Hold Equal Stakes in Combined Company
Upon closing, shareholders from each company will own roughly 50% of the merged entity on a fully diluted basis. The deal values each share of TAE common stock at $53.89 based on DJT’s trailing 30-day volume-weighted average price as of December 17, 2025.
| Merger Metric | Details |
|---|---|
| Transaction Value | $6+ Billion (All-Stock) |
| Ownership Split | ~50% TMTG / ~50% TAE |
| TAE Share Valuation | $53.89 per share |
| Initial Cash Provided | $200 Million at Signing, $100 Million upon S-4 Filing |
First Utility-Scale Fusion Plant Construction Planned for 2026
The combined company expects to site and commence construction of the world’s first utility-scale fusion power plant (50 MWe) in 2026. Longer-term, the partnership targets the development of larger plants in the 350–500 MWe range, offering the promise of carbon-free, abundant electricity. These initiatives come as surging power demand—especially from A.I. data centers and manufacturing—puts new pressure on the U.S. grid.
TAE’s Track Record and Market Potential Stand Out
With over 1,600 patents, 400+ employees (including 62 PhDs), and five operational fusion reactors built to date, TAE Technologies brings deep R&D experience and more than $1.3 billion raised from top-tier backers like Google, Goldman Sachs, and Chevron Technology Ventures. TAE’s innovation extends to its subsidiaries, delivering advanced energy storage, power solutions for industrial users and EVs, and biologically targeted cancer therapies.
| TAE Technologies at a Glance | Metrics |
|---|---|
| Employees | 400+ |
| Patents | 1,600+ |
| Fusion Reactors Built | 5 |
| Capital Raised | $1.3 Billion+ |
Management Team: A Blend of Media and Science Leadership
Post-merger, Devin Nunes (TMTG CEO) and Dr. Michl Binderbauer (TAE CEO) will serve as co-CEOs. Michael B. Schwab, a seasoned private equity leader and TAE board member, is set to become chairman of a nine-person board, featuring key figures from both legacy firms and new independent directors. This combination aims to position the company for rapid commercial deployment and governance stability.
Financial Position Enables Accelerated Innovation
DJT brings $3.1 billion in financial assets to the table (as of Q3 2025), aiming to fast-track TAE’s journey to commercial viability. Up to $300 million in new capital has been earmarked for TAE to kick off the deal, funding R&D and initial power plant development as regulatory reviews move forward.
Investor Call and What to Watch Next
Investors will want to monitor regulatory filings, upcoming shareholder votes, and construction milestones as the company pushes for mid-2026 closing and fusion plant groundbreaking. Management plans to host an investor call on December 18, 2025, at 9 a.m. ET to discuss the transaction. Materials are available on TMTG’s and TAE’s investor relations sites.
Takeaway: Strategic Move Sets Up a New Energy Challenger
DJT’s move to merge with TAE signals an ambitious bid to redefine the energy landscape with American-made fusion technology. With equal stakes for both sets of shareholders, ample capital, and a timeline to begin utility-scale fusion plant construction by 2026, the deal could mark a turning point in clean energy and public markets. Investors should keep a close watch on execution and regulatory hurdles as the race toward fusion-powered energy heats up.
