Trump's DWAC merger was approved but the company saw its stock quickly drop amid the former president's civil judgment and campaign funding plans.

Digital World Acquisition Corp shares saw a sharp stock decline following approval from shareholders to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group, amid wider scrutiny of the former president's financial obligations.As the approval news broke early on Friday, DWAC's stock plummeted by nearly 10 percent in stark contrast to the surge that had occurred in anticipation of the merger vote.

With a civil judgment of $454 million looming over him and efforts to secure a bond proving difficult, Trump's fiscal stability is under intense examination.On Friday, Trump said on Truth Social that he has 'almost five hundred million dollars in cash,' which he plans to use in his campaign for president, indicating that the funds will not be allocated towards the civil penalty.
