- NASDAQ: DWAC gained 0.30% during Friday’s trading session.
- Truth Social is losing momentum and Trump himself has yet to post on the site.
- Big tech is stepping up its digital sanctions against Russia.
NASDAQ: DWAC extended its winning streak to seven days as investors fought off downward selling pressure from the broader markets. Shares of DWAC gained 0.30% and closed the trading week at $97.54. It has been a wild ride for DWAC investors, but the ongoing botched launch of Truth Social might be triggering some selling from its shareholders. It also didn’t help that US markets tumbled yet again on Friday, as the Dow Jones fell by 179 basis points to record its fourth consecutive losing week. The S&P and NASDAQ also dropped by 0.79% and 1.66% respectively, as the situation in Ukraine overshadowed a better than expected jobs report for the month of February.

Finally, it has been revealed that President Trump himself has yet to even post on the site, despite heavily advocating for it over the past few months.
