Trump Media to Sell Wall Street Early Access to Truth Social Posts
New 'Truth API' would give trading firms a paid data feed of the president's posts
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, announced Thursday it plans to sell Wall Street firms early access to what it called its "most market-moving" posts, according to The Hill.
The company said it would launch a product called "Truth API," a direct data feed designed to give investment firms rapid access to posts from the platform's highest-profile users, allowing traders to react to market-relevant statements ahead of the general public.
The move turns President Trump's social media activity into a monetized product for professional traders, formalizing a dynamic that has existed informally for years, in which markets have moved swiftly in response to his posts on trade, tariffs and economic policy. By selling structured, early access to that content, Trump Media is positioning itself to profit directly from the market sensitivity of the president's online statements.
The announcement raises questions about fairness and access in financial markets, since a paid feed would give subscribing firms a speed advantage over ordinary investors reacting to the same posts once they become public.
