ALBAWABA - Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) is exploring offering financial institutions and professional traders early access to posts by President Donald Trump on Truth Social before they are widely available, potentially unlocking a lucrative new revenue stream for the company.
The Financial Times said that the service may cost up to $100,000 a month, citing people familiar with the conversations, with members getting access to Trump’s posts faster than anybody else, which have often impacted financial markets.
The news follows the company’s unveiling of Truth API, a new licensed data service that it said will enable banks, trading businesses and institutional investors with the fastest possible delivery of posts generated by powerful accounts on Truth Social.
“The platform will initially provide accelerated access to content from the 10 most influential accounts on Truth Social, offering subscribers the opportunity to receive updates well before regular notifications are pushed to regular users,” a spokesperson for Trump Media stated.
It is the first step by Trump Media into the financial data market as the company attempts to expand its operations outside social media and compete with bigger technological platforms. Reuters noted it could not independently verify the claims and neither Trump Media nor Truth Social immediately responded to the Financial Times report about the purported subscription pricing.
Trump’s social media activity has had a number of impacts on the global financial markets, especially via statements on tariffs, trade policy and economic initiatives. One of the most remarkable instances was in April 2025 when key U.S. market indexes skyrocketed after Trump declared on Truth Social that the tariffs he had just imposed would be halted for 90 days.
Shares of TMTG have suffered this year despite the new business initiative. Shares regained much of their earlier losses after the Financial Times report, but were down marginally in Friday trading and are down about 27% this year.
