The company revealed on Friday that its third-quarter net loss widened from $19.3 million in the same period last year. The company reported revenue of $972,900 for the quarter, down more than $1 million from a year ago.

Trump Media realized $15.3 million in gains from its Bitcoin options investments and recorded $33 million in unrealized gains from holding over 746 million Cronos.
