Trump Media to Offer Wall-Street Firms Early Access to Presidents Truth Social Posts
When Trump’s tweets can move markets, why would Wall Street pay for a sneak peek? On July 16, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) announced Truth PSI, a subscription‑based data feed that will hand institutional investors and high‑frequency traders a millisecond advantage on the most influential posts from Truth Social. The service is slated to launch next month, and several clients have already signed on, though the price remains undisclosed.
Truth PSI will stream content from the platform’s top ten accounts—including President Trump’s own feed—through a real‑time API. TMTG said it sees the offering as a “meaningful” revenue stream under a broader plan to monetize its proprietary assets. The announcement nudged the company’s shares 0.6 percent higher, closing at $9.66 the next day versus $9.60.
The president’s words have long swayed market sentiment. On April 2, 2025, Trump announced new tariffs via a Twitter‑style post hours before an official White House statement. The news sent U.S. equities down almost 5 percent and lifted safe‑haven assets like gold and Treasury bonds. When he reversed the tariffs a few days later on Truth Social, stocks surged 9.5 percent, adding roughly $4 trillion to the S&P 500.
Other messages have triggered swift reactions as well. On June 24, 2025, Trump’s post about an Iran deal knocked oil prices down immediately. The platform’s sway over financial markets has drawn fire from ethics scholars.
"It’s odious, selling access to highest bidders on Wall Street," said Dylan Hedler‑Gaudette, a federal‑ethics specialist at the Project on Government Oversight. "Everything he says has market implications." Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University, added, "It’s yet more brazen corruption. Trump can line his pockets by selling access."
Conflict‑of‑interest laws generally prohibit executive‑branch officials from profiting from government actions. The president and vice president are exempt from the restriction, but the move has still raised concerns. Clark noted that presidents have historically avoided conflicts by placing personal holdings in blind trusts or divesting from business interests.
TMTG’s press release did not explain whether the president’s posts would be excluded from the feed. The company has not responded to requests for comment from the Associated Press. The White House has referred questions to TMTG, and no reply has been received. Trump’s family company, the Trump Organization, declined to comment.
Trump has repeatedly denied that the service creates a conflict between his public duties and private interests. The president has said that he only acts in the country’s best interest and is not involved in the family business.
Truth Social launched in February 2022 after Trump was banned from major social networks following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The platform has struggled financially; its parent company reported a loss of $58 million in 2023 and $4.1 million in revenue. In 2024, the company’s market cap fell from $3.65 billion to $2.47 billion after two quarters of large losses.
The new service is similar to data feeds offered by other social media firms, but the unique element is that the posts come from the president. The feed is designed for hedge funds, trading firms, and developers who need instant access to content from the top accounts as it is published.
The service will provide a real‑time API that delivers posts with millisecond latency, a feature that high‑frequency traders use to gain an advantage in fast‑moving markets. The company said it expects the service to become a "meaningful" revenue stream.
The launch of Truth PSI is the latest attempt by TMTG to diversify its business. The company has also explored crypto, financial services, and nuclear fusion, but those ventures have not reversed the company’s declining stock price. The CEO, Kevin McGurn, replaced former Congressman Devin Nunes in December 2025.
The current situation remains uncertain. The company has not disclosed pricing, and it is unclear how many traders will subscribe. The White House has not issued any regulatory guidance, and no congressional investigation has been announced. The service’s launch will likely attract further scrutiny from ethics watchdogs and market regulators.
In summary, Trump Media is set to offer a paid data feed that gives institutional investors early access to the president’s Truth Social posts. The move has drawn criticism for potential conflicts of interest and for giving high‑frequency traders an advantage that could influence market outcomes. The service’s launch next month will be closely watched by regulators, investors, and the public.
