Trump Media is planning to introduce a premium service costing up to $100,000 monthly for traders seeking quicker access to posts on Truth Social. This new offering, known as the Truth API, is aimed at financial institutions and traders who rely on fast-moving information.
Details of the Truth API
The Truth API will expedite posts from the platform's ten most influential accounts, including former President Trump's, which has 12.9 million followers. A company spokesperson stated that this service would deliver posts faster than standard notifications. While the pricing has not been finalized, Trump Media has indicated it could reach $100,000 per month.
Set to launch next month, some clients have reportedly already signed up. This move represents Trump Media's expansion into data licensing, diversifying its revenue beyond social media advertising.
Market Impact and Ethical Concerns
Posts from Trump often influence market movements, covering topics like tariffs and foreign policy. Financial firms closely monitor these updates, as they have been known to affect stocks and commodities rapidly. For instance, a statement in April 2025 regarding a pause on tariffs caused major U.S. indexes to spike.
However, several lawmakers have raised concerns over the potential unfair advantages the paid service might create for professional traders compared to retail users relying on conventional notifications.
Ownership details reveal that the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust holds approximately 41% of Trump Media's outstanding shares, overseen by Trump’s children. The ethical implications of such a profitable service are likely to come under scrutiny as the product rolls out.
