Donald Trump would own most of the company, and the total value of his stake could surpass $3 billion.

By Associated PressThe download screen for the Truth Social app. Shareholders voted Friday to merge Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs Truth Social, and Digital World Acquisition Corp. — a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC., also referred to as a blank check company.
