Early access to Trump's tweets: Truth Social plans to sell high-speed data access services to financial institutions.

Per official announcements and reports from outlets like The New York Times, Donald Trump’s Truth Social is selling high-speed data access for posts from key platform accounts to financial services firms via its newly launched Truth API. The API went live on August 1, with the company confirming it has signed over 10 client agreements and the service is already generating revenue. The exact time advantage the API holds over regular users has not been publicly disclosed; Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) only says it delivers posts in milliseconds, while Reuters notes the speed is significantly faster than standard push notifications. For high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms, even a time gap of several seconds can create a trading edge. A Truth Social representative said the Truth API is priced at roughly $60,000 to $100,000 per month. Based on more than 10 clients, the business could generate annual revenue of around $8 million to $13 million. By comparison, Trump Media’s Q2 total revenue was just $1.7 million, meaning the data interface could become a major new revenue stream if clients renew consistently. The core selling point of this service is speed: posts by Trump on Truth Social can impact individual stocks, sectors and even policy expectations for trading firms, so faster access to such content could translate into a trading advantage. Still, Truth Social is facing traffic headwinds. The Financial Times cited Similarweb data showing its mobile daily active users (DAUs) fell from ~436,000 in July 2025 to ~261,000 in July 2026. The traffic drop will crimp ad growth, but API revenue relies on a small number of high-paying clients, making its business model more aligned with financial data licensing. To date, Trump Media has not separately disclosed the Truth API’s actual revenue. The market will next watch whether the business can keep expanding its client base and deliver verifiable revenue contributions in future earnings reports.
