The same platform where President Donald Trump announces market-moving trade policies is now selling direct, high-speed access to those very posts. Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), has launched a data feed called Truth API that delivers posts from the ten most influential accounts to paying customers faster than standard notifications. Main Developments Truth API is designed for algorithmic trading firms and other organizations "most impacted by the cost of a delay in information," according to a company statement. The product provides round-the-clock coverage and includes an archive of posts dating back to 2022. TMTG has already signed up customers ahead of its August 1 launch. Until now, firms tracking influential Truth Social posts relied on manual monitoring. "Truth API closes the gap," the company said. TMTG interim CEO Kevin McGurn expects the feed to become "a meaningful, ongoing source of revenue" as adoption grows. The company has also warned it will create "a lot of friction" for firms that have been scraping Truth Social data in violation of its terms of service.

On April 9, 2025, Wall Street's main indexes turned sharply higher after Trump posted that he would pause many new tariffs for 90 days. His "Liberation Day" tariffs and posts on trade restrictions with China have similarly moved markets. Mark Spiegel, managing member at Stanphyl Capital Partners, noted that Trump appears to be the only market-moving poster on the platform, and his posts "definitely move the market." The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust holds roughly 114.75 million shares of TMTG, representing about 41% of all outstanding stock. That trust administers Trump's investments and is overseen by his children. The White House has previously denied conflicts of interest regarding Trump's business and his presidency, though it did not respond to a request for comment on this specific move. Why It Matters The product raises questions about fairness in financial markets. Senator Ron Wyden, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, criticized the move, saying it would financially benefit the Trump family and "make Wall Street traders rich." Asked whether the feed would create uneven trading opportunities for traders with deeper pockets, Spiegel said such disparities already exist and this would be "just one more." Robert Frenchman, a partner at the Dynamis law firm in New York who has defended clients in federal trading probes, said public companies must be careful about how they disclose information on such platforms. However, he said tech platforms are allowed to offer clients early access even if it disadvantages some participants. "It certainly does not seem fair, but yes, a tech platform can tier its distribution of information without violating federal securities laws," Frenchman said. TMTG did not respond to questions about whether the move would create uneven trading opportunities. What's Next TMTG plans to launch Truth API on August 1 with customers already signed up. The feed will track posts from the most-followed accounts on Truth Social, including Trump himself, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and prominent supporters like Dan Bongino and Sean Hannity. The company is also moving to stop unauthorized data scraping from its platform, potentially forcing more firms to become paying customers. The White House referred questions about Wyden's criticism to TMTG, which did not immediately respond.
