Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. and American Bitcoin Corp. saw share gains on Sunday after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The moves followed a weekend where geopolitical developments and corporate announcements affected trader sentiment and company actions.
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. closed at $13.77 on Friday, up roughly 4% for the day, and rose about 0.45% in after-hours trading on Sunday. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits improved from ‘bearish’ to ‘neutral,’ while chatter levels climbed from ‘low’ to ‘high’ over the past day.
American Bitcoin Corp., the crypto-mining firm founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, closed at $1.78 on Friday and traded around $1.83 in after-hours trading, up near 2.81%. Retail sentiment for ABTC remained ‘extremely bullish,’ with chatter described as ‘normal’ across the past day.
The stock moves followed a U.S. operation that captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Media accounts reported that President Trump said, “we would ‘run Venezuela on a temporary basis,'” during a transition period while working to restore oil production.
Venezuela holds about 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, the largest in the world. Political commentators linked the operation to oil control; analyst Ben Norton wrote on X calling the action “blatant colonialism.”
Separately, Trump Media announced plans to issue digital tokens to its shareholders, which prompted a stock uptick. The company said the tokens would not represent equity ownership or provide profit rights, as reported.
Over the past year, Trump Media shares have fallen by about 60%, reflecting extended weakness despite recent volatility.
