Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) is exploring the possibility of providing financial institutions and professional traders early access to President Donald Trump's publications on Truth Social before their widespread release. This move could potentially open a new profitable revenue stream for the company.
According to The Financial Times, this service could cost up to $100,000 per month. Participants would gain access to Trump's posts faster than anyone else, as his statements often influence financial markets.
This offer follows the launch of Truth API—a new licensed data service. It is designed to ensure that banks, trading firms, and institutional investors receive messages created by influential accounts on Truth Social with maximum speed.
A representative of Trump Media stated that the platform will initially provide accelerated access to content from the ten most influential accounts on Truth Social, allowing subscribers to receive updates significantly earlier than regular users.
This step marks Trump Media's first foray into the financial data market. The company aims to expand its operations beyond social media and compete with larger technology platforms. Reuters noted that it could not independently confirm these claims, and neither Trump Media nor Truth Social provided an immediate response to the Financial Times report regarding the alleged subscription cost.
Trump's social activity has repeatedly influenced global financial markets, particularly through his statements regarding tariffs, trade policy, and economic initiatives. One of the most notable examples was in April 2025, when key US market indices sharply rose after Trump announced on Truth Social a 90-day suspension of tariffs he had imposed.
Despite this new business initiative, TMTG shares have incurred losses this year. However, following the publication of the Financial Times report, the shares recovered a significant portion of previous losses, although trading showed a slight decline on Friday, bringing the total annual loss to about 27%.
