Trump Media pitched $100,000 monthly fee for fast feed of president’s posts

Trump Media Pitches Paid Access to Fast Feed of President’s Posts

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has announced a new data service that would provide paying customers with expedited access to posts from prominent accounts on the Truth Social platform. The service, referred to in company communications as both “Truth PSI” and “Truth API,” is designed to deliver content to financial institutions and algorithmic trading firms milliseconds before it reaches the general public.

According to reports, the company has discussed charging a monthly fee of as much as $100,000 for this accelerated data feed. While the company has confirmed the launch of the product, it has not publicly disclosed the final pricing structure.

Market Impact and Revenue Strategy

The announcement comes as TMTG seeks new revenue streams amid significant declines in its stock price. Interim CEO Kevin McGurn described the service as part of a strategy to monetize proprietary assets, noting that the company expects the API to become a meaningful, ongoing source of revenue.

The move targets high-frequency traders who rely on rapid information to navigate stock, bond, and interest rate markets. President Donald Trump, the platform’s most-followed user with nearly 13 million followers, frequently uses Truth Social to announce policy decisions, including updates on the Iran war, federal interest rates, and trade tariffs. These posts have historically triggered immediate shifts in global markets. For example, in April 2025, major Wall Street indexes rose sharply following a post in which the president announced a 90-day pause on certain new tariffs.

Ethical Concerns and Conflicts of Interest

The service has drawn sharp criticism from legal and ethics experts regarding the intersection of the president’s official duties and his financial interests. Because the president remains the largest shareholder of TMTG—with his revocable trust holding approximately 41% of the company’s outstanding stock—critics argue the platform is exploiting the presidency for profit.

He’s selling expedited, privileged access to information about what he is doing as president, said Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law who specializes in government ethics. It’s yet more brazen corruption, an improper exploitation of government power to enrich himself.

While presidents have traditionally divested from business interests to avoid conflicts of interest, President Trump has maintained his stake in TMTG throughout his second term. When asked whether the new service profits from the presidency or if the president’s own posts would be included in the feed, representatives for the company declined to comment.

Service Details and Timeline

The company stated that the service will provide data from the 10 most influential accounts on the platform, offering a delivery speed significantly faster than standard push notifications. TMTG has indicated that it has already begun signing up customers for the service, which is scheduled to launch next month. The company’s stock has faced significant volatility; as of July 2026, shares were trading at $9.49, representing a decline of nearly 85% since March 2024.
