Trump Media launches paid Truth Social data API
Trump Media and Technology Group launched a paid data service called "Truth API" on August 1, 2026, offering firms a licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving posts. Interim CEO Kevin McGurn said the API delivers direct, licensed access while supporting the company’s strategy to monetize proprietary assets through a recurring revenue stream. The @realDonaldTrump account — the platform’s largest — had about 13 million followers at the time of the launch, and Trump’s family is the largest shareholder in the public company. Democratic Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether the new service violates the law; the SEC declined to comment to CNBC. The product launch aims to sell faster access to Truth Social content to clients such as trading firms and market data customers, while drawing scrutiny from lawmakers about potential conflicts and market integrity.
Trump Media to Sell Fast Access to Trump's Posts
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), operator of Truth Social, announced a paid service called Truth API that will provide a licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most important, market-moving posts to paying customers, starting August 1, 2026. The product targets professional market participants—high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms and financial-news providers—that need low-latency, machine-readable access; interim head Kevin McGurn said markets already react to Truth Social posts. Critics warn the offering creates privileged informational access tied to the U.S. president’s political communications, with Washington University law professor Kathleen Clark calling it a brazen form of corruption. The platform hosts former President Donald Trump’s roughly 13 million followers; Trump has transferred his TMTG shares to his son, Donald Trump Jr., who manages them in trust.
Truth Social launches $100k/month premium Trump posts
Trump Media & Technology Group's Truth Social is selling an "express" early-access product, marketed as the Truth API, which delivers licensed, real-time copies of Donald Trump's posts to paying customers ahead of public release. According to acting TMTG head Kevin McGurn, more than ten clients - primarily ultra-fast trading firms and other market actors - have subscribed, paying roughly $60,000-$100,000 per month (with discounts for longer terms). TMTG says it is negotiating with additional buyers, including AI companies. Supporters say the timing advantage aids traders and investors; critics including Senator Elizabeth Warren argue it privatizes access to time-sensitive governmental announcements and monetizes the presidency. TMTG reported $1.7 million in revenue last quarter (up 89% year-over-year) and a $238.1 million net loss; The New York Times reported no evidence brokers used insider information.
