Truth Social Is Selling Wall Street Faster Access to Trump’s Posts

A new $100,000-a-month data service could turn President Trump’s market-moving social media posts into a valuable Wall Street product.

Donald Trump’s Truth Social is finding a new way to make money: selling banks and trading firms faster access to some of the platform’s most influential posts.

Trump Media & Technology Group has launched Truth API, a licensed data feed designed to deliver posts from ten influential Truth Social accounts, including President Trump’s, faster than ordinary app notifications.

The service reportedly costs as much as $100,000 per month, falling to around $60,000 for customers making longer-term commitments. More than ten clients, mainly high-frequency trading firms, have already signed agreements.

For traders, speed matters.

Trump regularly uses Truth Social to comment on tariffs, trade agreements, geopolitical conflicts and economic policy. These announcements can move currencies, commodities and stock markets within seconds.

In one recent example, more than two million shares reportedly changed hands during the minute following two Trump posts concerning Iran.

That creates an obvious opportunity for algorithmic trading firms capable of automatically reading a post, interpreting its meaning and placing trades before most ordinary investors have even received a notification.

However, the service has attracted political scrutiny. Democratic lawmakers have called for regulators to examine whether selling premium access to a sitting president’s potentially market-moving communications creates conflicts of interest or unfair advantages for institutional traders.

For Trump Media, the financial incentive is significant. The company generated just $1.7 million in quarterly revenue while reporting a $238.1 million net loss in the second quarter of 2026.

Truth API could therefore become an important new revenue stream.

More importantly for markets, it highlights how valuable information speed has become: when a single social media post can move billions of dollars, receiving it even seconds earlier could potentially be worth millions.
