Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has announced a new paid data service that will provide banks, hedge funds and trading firms with faster access to influential Truth Social posts, including those published by US President Donald Trump, whose social media updates have frequently influenced global financial markets.

The new product, called Truth API, will offer subscribers real-time access to posts from the platform’s 10 most influential accounts at speeds significantly faster than standard notifications available to regular users. The service is designed for organisations that rely on rapid access to market-sensitive information, particularly algorithmic trading firms and financial institutions.
TMTG said the product marks its first major move into data licensing and is expected to create a new source of recurring revenue for the company. The service will officially launch on August 1, with several customers already signed up.
Company executives said many firms currently rely on manual monitoring or unauthorised data scraping to track Truth Social posts. The Truth API aims to provide a faster, licensed alternative while discouraging unauthorised access to the platform’s content.
Trump’s posts have repeatedly moved financial markets. In April 2025, Wall Street rallied sharply after he announced on Truth Social a 90-day pause on several new tariffs, triggering a surge in major stock indexes.
The announcement has also raised concerns about whether premium access could provide wealthier investors with an unfair advantage. Critics argue that earlier access to market-moving information may allow some firms to react before the broader public.

Senator Ron Wyden criticised the initiative, saying it could financially benefit the Trump family while giving Wall Street traders an edge. Legal experts, however, noted that technology platforms are generally permitted to offer tiered access to information under current US securities laws.
The Truth API will also include a searchable archive of influential posts dating back to 2022.
