Truth Social sells early access via 'Truth API'

techAug 2, 2026381,101

Trump Media and Technology Group launched Truth API, a paid data service that gives businesses a direct, licensed, real-time feed of Truth Social posts, interim CEO Kevin McGurn said in a release. Trading firms and other subscribers can pay for faster access to posts from high-profile accounts, with fees said to run as high as $100,000 per month. The company framed the product as providing access to “the platform’s most market-moving Truths.” The move drew immediate scrutiny because Donald Trump is the platform’s largest account holder and the largest shareholder of the parent company; his @realDonaldTrump account has about 13 million followers and has previously announced policy moves that moved markets, including on tariffs and the Iran war. Democratic senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren wrote to SEC chair Paul Atkins requesting an investigation into whether the service violates securities laws, calling it an abuse of office that could enrich wealthy insiders. Trump Media’s stock has lost more than 70% since the president took office, wiping roughly $6 billion in shareholder value, though shares rose 5.5% to $10.39 the day before the API debuted, Forbes reported.

Trump Media just launched one of the most corrupt schemes in recent memory. Its new “Truth API” lets banks, trading firms, and others pay up to $100,000 a month for faster, real time access to Donald Trump’s Truth Social posts, giving deep pocketed investors a potential edge before everyone else.
