Donald Trump Jr. is making waves in the business world once again, as rumors swirl about his potential involvement with PSQ Holdings. The online marketplace owner, PublicSquare, saw its shares surge over 130% following reports that Trump Jr. could be joining the company’s board.
PublicSquare, a commerce and payments company focusing on “life, family, and liberty,” is a microcap stock with a market capitalization of $72 million. Despite the company’s modest size, it has been making headlines with the possibility of adding Trump Jr. to its leadership team.
With net revenue of $6.5 million and operating losses exceeding $14 million for the September quarter, PSQ Holdings faces challenges in the competitive market. Based in West Palm Beach, Florida, the company is conveniently located just a short drive from Mar-a-Lago, where President-elect Donald Trump resides.
Trump Jr.’s recent forays into the business world have been met with enthusiasm from investors. His appointment to the board of Unusual Machines, a drone and drone component maker, resulted in a significant increase in the company’s stock price. Additionally, his partnership with venture capital firm 1789 Capital, which focuses on conservative investments, has garnered attention for its strategic approach.
PSQ Holdings’ director, Kelly Loeffler, a former U.S. senator from Georgia, made a notable investment in the company by purchasing 1.2 million shares in October. With the recent rally in PSQ’s stock price, Loeffler stands to see a substantial increase in the value of her stake.
As Trump Jr. continues to expand his presence in the business world, his involvement with PSQ Holdings could bring new opportunities and challenges to the company. Investors will be watching closely to see how his leadership influences the company’s future trajectory.
