Trump Media and Technology Group has rolled out its new paid data service on Saturday, August 1, offering early access to Truth Social posts from U.S. President Donald Trump and other top accounts.
The service, referred to as “Truth API” offers trading firms and subscribers with “a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths.”
The premium access is available for $100,000 per month.
Even though this announcement fails to mention President Trump by name, @realDonaldTrump is undoubtedly the biggest Twitter account, with more than 13 million followers. It has been used on several occasions for announcing big decisions, such as information about the tariff decision and the Iran war.
Legality issues have been pointed out by securities professionals. This is because Trump is the biggest shareholder in Trump Media, which is held by his eldest son through a trust. His wealth will be boosted with customer registration on the social network.
The announcement received severe criticism. However, Trump Media’s spokesperson dismissed it, stating: “Truth API offers customers the fastest way to ingest publicly available Truth Social data. Critics must have invented a new theory of ‘insider trading’ based on publicly available information.”
The launch comes as Trump Media’s stock has fallen more than 70% since the president took office, eliminating around $6 billion in shareholder value.
