Former President Donald Trump is poised to receive up to 36 million additional shares of Trump Media after trading closes Tuesday.

The shares would be worth more than $1.25 billion at current prices.

Trump, who is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was in New York for opening statements in his criminal hush money trial.
