Trump Media & Technology has launched the Truth API, which gives investment firms and traders accelerated access to US President Donald Trump’s posts on the Truth Social network. The subscription fee is $100,000 per month, and the launch of the service has already sparked debate over a possible conflict of interest.
This is reported by the Associated Press .
The Truth API allows automated trading systems to receive new posts from Donald Trump on Truth Social almost instantly and react to them in milliseconds. For companies engaged in high-frequency trading, this advantage can provide additional profit, the agency notes.
The US President regularly posts on Truth Social about customs policies, international conflicts, and individual companies. Such statements can affect stock prices, currency rates, and oil.
Associated Press reporters asked the White House whether lawyers had evaluated the new service and whether it posed ethical risks. The president’s press office referred the request to Trump Media & Technology.
The company said the criticism was based on an “ideological hostility to the free market” or a misunderstanding of the difference between public and non-public information. Trump Media argues that all users see posts at the same time, and the Truth API only speeds up their technical delivery to automated systems.
At the same time, according to the agency, experts note that even an advantage of a few milliseconds is important for high-frequency trading, as it allows you to conclude deals faster than competitors.
Critics say selling expedited access to the sitting US president’s messages creates a potential conflict of interest. Democrats have called the launch of the service “blatant corruption” and suggested the practice could be the subject of future investigations.
Trump Media is not disclosing who has already signed up for the Truth API. The Associated Press also reached out to six of the largest high-frequency trading firms, including Citadel Securities and XTX Markets, for comment, but did not receive a response.
The agency estimates that if at least three companies subscribe, it would double Trump Media’s annual revenue, which earned $3.7 million last year. “For the big players, this is exactly what they need. This is information that can influence the market,” he said.
It is worth adding that the largest American companies have donated more than $800 million to US President Donald Trump’s non-profit projects . Among them are the construction of the White House ballroom and the presidential library.
Recall that the family of US President Donald Trump earned more than one billion dollars on cryptocurrency projects , including the DeFi platform World Liberty Financial and the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins. The main profit allowed the family to significantly increase its fortune, with Trump’s own share in crypto assets estimated at almost two billion dollars.
By the way, since Donald Trump returned to the White House, his family’s business empire has been rapidly enriching itself . In the last month alone, companies associated with the Trump family have received at least $2 billion in profits. The sources of income are very diverse: from deals with foreign governments to dubious cryptocurrency and exclusive clubs.
