Wall Street can now pay to get Trump’s Truth posts about markets before everyone else

Wall Street gods will now be able to pay for faster access to Trump’s Truth Social posts. You know, the ones he use to manipulate oil, stock, and crypto markets all at once.

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) said Thursday that it plans to launch Truth API, a paid data feed that sends posts from the platform’s biggest accounts straight to institutional clients. Presidents once relied more on scheduled statements and press briefings. Trump instead posts policy choices and breaking government news throughout the day directly on a platform tied to his own company.

According to the Journal, this service is due next month, and Trump Media said some customers have already signed up. It did not reveal the price. It also did not say how many milliseconds paying clients may gain over ordinary users.

Trump has 12.9 million followers, the largest audience on Truth Social, while several White House officials also draw large crowds there. FactSet Research Systems (NYSE: FDS) says Trump owns about 41% of Trump Media through a revocable trust.

Trading firms will use Trump’s posts before the public sees them

The feed is built for clients such as high-frequency algorithmic trading firms. Their computer systems scan headlines, posts, and official statements, then place orders almost at once. Even a tiny time advantage can matter when a Trump post changes expectations for stocks, oil, bonds, or crypto.

Large financial firms already buy similar access from social platforms. Reddit (NYSE: RDDT) sells data tools, while privately held X also offers paid feeds. The point is simple: get the information before it appears through normal public channels.

Trump Media said Truth API should cut the delay between a Trump post and a firm’s trading response. Since Trump returned to office in 2025, investors have watched his account day and night. His tariff updates last year sent share prices in different directions within seconds. During the U.S. war with Iran, his messages about peace talks starting, stopping, and restarting hit oil futures hard. Some traders ended up trapped in bets worth millions of dollars.

Trump Media was listed in 2024 and has since attempted many ventures apart from its social media platform. Trump Media launched a streaming site, created a cryptocurrency wallet, and embarked on a proposed merger with a nuclear fusion firm. The ventures were initiated at a time when revenues were low and losses high.

In a statement, Interim CEO Kevin McGurn claimed that Truth API can potentially be “a meaningful source of ongoing revenue” for the firm. The shares of Trump Media fell by 3 percent on Thursday and settled at $9.28. The stock is down by 77 percent since Donald Trump returned to the White House.

Trump’s stock purchases bring fresh scrutiny to the paid feed

The new product launches at a time when Trump’s investment history is under scrutiny. On April 15, 2025, Trump talked about Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) after the company had announced its plans of constructing artificial intelligence supercomputers in the USA. He called it “very big and exciting news” and told more than nine million followers that “All necessary permits will be expedited and quickly delivered” for Nvidia and similar companies.

Trump did not say in that post that he had bought between $200,000 and $500,000 of Nvidia shares a few days earlier.

A CNN investigation, published by the network owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD), allegedly found that Trump had praised more than 20 companies on Truth Social soon after buying their shares. Some posts also announced federal steps that could help businesses already inside his portfolio, as Cryptopolitan previously reported.

White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said Trump’s investments are managed independently.

“Trump’s assets are held in fully discretionary accounts managed by independent third-party financial institutions,” Kelly said. “President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public, which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses from the fake news media. There are no conflicts of interest.”

The White House has, on many occasions, rejected claims that Trump used the presidency to make money. Officials said outside managers handle every trade and that Trump and his relatives do not choose which stocks those managers buy or sell.
