Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Firms pay up to $100,000 monthly for early access to Truth Social posts.
Trump Media launched Truth API in August 2026, charging high-frequency trading firms $60,000-$100,000 monthly for fast access to posts from influential accounts, including President Trump. Interim CEO Kevin McGurn said the service aims to provide a new revenue stream. Trump Media reported a $238 million loss for April-June, over 10 times the loss from the same period a year earlier, driven by cryptocurrency holdings. Revenue rose 89% to $1.7 million. The company has scrapped a plan with Crypto.com for prediction markets on Truth Social.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly view the service as legalized insider trading, calling it "insider-knowledge-as-a-service" and a new low for corruption. Many argue this erodes global trust in the US, with some comparing the era to the fall of the Roman Empire. A few counter that the US has weathered scandals before and other countries will adapt after the next president. One user finds it sad that their own writing is not valuable enough for a dollar.
