After PublicSq (NYSE:PSQH) completed its merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), PSQH stock soared over 100% on its first day of trading yesterday.

PSQH stock lost a lot of that momentum this morning and fell as much as 15% after the markets opened. The stock sits down about 10% as of this writing.

PublicSq describes itself as a “marketplace for patriotic businesses,” and it recently announced a marketing deal with former Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson.

More About PublicSq and Its Debut

After merging with its SPAC, Colombier Acquisition Corp, PSOH stock more than doubled yesterday in its debut on the New York Stock Exchange. Nearly 16 million shares of the name changed hands yesterday.

Founded in 2021, PublicSq seeks to convince what it calls “pro-life, pro-freedom” firms to sell their products on its platform.

PublicSq is looking to eventually become a major competitor to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). In an effort to build up its brand name, the company has launched a partnership with Carlson’s new show on Twitter. PSQH expects to start airing ads on the show next month.
