Wall Street has begun to embrace Trump Media and Technology Group’s newest product: instant access to President Donald Trump’s Truth Social posts.
Truth Social owner Trump Media, in its first-ever earnings call with analysts Monday evening, said it has signed more than 10 customer agreements, mostly with high-frequency trading companies. Trump Media said those customers are willing to pay between $60,000 and $100,000 a month to gain access to the Truth Social data feed, known as an application programming interface (API). That direct link gives Wall Street a leg up over retail traders by delivering Truth Social posts split seconds faster than the public sees them.
For high-frequency trading machines, milliseconds can mean serious money. Their algorithms look for signs that they should buy or sell, and by the time regular traders notice, it’s often too late to take advantage.
Truth Social’s most-followed and important poster, Trump, often announces policy decisions on his company’s platform – sometimes even before his own administration is aware. Instant access to proclamations about tariff policy, national security and executive orders that affect the economy could send oil, bonds, stocks or other assets sharply higher or lower.
