Trump is selling high-speed access to his market-moving Truth Social posts

Trump Media will launch the Truth API on August 1, providing businesses with high-speed, real-time access to market-moving posts from influential accounts on the Truth Social platform.

Key Points

  • The Truth API provides 24/7, millisecond-speed data delivery for businesses tracking influential accounts.
  • The service includes a historical archive of platform posts dating back to 2022.
  • Donald Trump, the platform's most followed user with 12.9 million followers, frequently uses the site for official communications.
  • Interim CEO Kevin McGurn stated the company expects the API to become a significant, ongoing revenue stream.
  • Trump Media is a publicly traded company where the Trump family remains the largest shareholder.

Why it Matters

This move monetizes the platform's role as a primary source for presidential communications that frequently impact financial markets. By selling high-speed data access, the company creates a new revenue channel while formalizing the influence of its most prominent users.
