Trump Media is rolling out a Truth Social data feed that could give Wall Street traders faster access to market-moving posts.
Trump Media’s Truth Social data feed is moving into the financial world, with the company planning to sell fast access to its most influential posts through a new paid service aimed at Wall Street firms.
Starting August one, the company says it will push instant updates from what it calls the highest-ranking accounts on the platform. Donald Trump is currently the most-followed user on Truth Social, and his posts have at times sparked sharp moves in global markets, especially when he comments on trade and tariffs.
The service, called Truth API, is designed to deliver posts to paying institutional clients in milliseconds. Trump Media said the goal is to create a steadier revenue stream for a company that is still losing money. Kevin McGurn, the interim chief executive, said markets already react to Truth Social posts and argued the new product would help generate profit.
For traders, even a brief delay can matter. Until now, banks and market firms have had to watch the app by hand. The new setup would send posts directly to paying customers, while Trump Media says some companies have been copying its data for months without permission. McGurn said the company plans to shut down those workarounds soon, which would leave firms needing the official feed.
The company did not disclose pricing, and the BBC said it contacted Trump Media about whether the president’s own posts would be included. The White House declined to comment. The setup also raises a fresh question about the overlap between Trump’s private business interests and his role as president, since his family remains the company’s majority shareholder and could benefit from faster access to his public statements.
Market experts quoted in the report said the idea could put firms at a disadvantage if they do not pay for the quicker service, though one noted that Trump’s posts are only a small part of what actually moves markets. The takeaway for readers is simple: this Truth Social data feed could turn the president’s public remarks into a paid tool for traders trying to stay ahead of the market.
