Truth Social, the social media platform founded by President Donald Trump, has signed up news and data provider Bloomberg and two Wall Street \u200bfirms for faster access to the president\u2019s posts, which it sells for up to $100,000 a month, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The firms are Susquehanna International Group and \u200cJump Trading, both high-frequency trading firms focused on algorithmic and automated strategies.<\/p>\n

The service gives subscribers a timing advantage to Trump\u2019s posts on Truth Social, which has the potential to create swings in financial markets and to give Wall Street traders an edge not available to everyday investors.<\/p>\n

The companies\u2019 purchase of the Truth API service hasn\u2019t been previously reported. An API is a programming interface that is used as a digital bridge that allows one system to connect to another.<\/p>\n

Trump Media and Technology Group announced its fastest-access product<\/a> in July, and pitched it to trading firms and other financial institutions. The deals likely mark the first time a business tied to a sitting president has sold access \u200bto its statements, which some critics have called unethical<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Truth Social\u2019s pay-for-access plan ventures into untested legal territory, Intercept Media and the Freedom of the Press Foundation sued \u2060Trump in August<\/a>, seeking to block the White House from posting official government announcements exclusively on Truth Social while the paid feed exists.<\/p>\n

The suit, which is ongoing, alleges that erecting a financial barrier to government \u200binformation is potentially unconstitutional and favours wealthy Wall Street firms.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg, Jump Trading and Susquehanna declined to comment.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Trump Media said: \u201cTruth Social offers an industry-standard API product for which there is significant demand across industries. \u200bWe take customer confidentiality seriously.<\/p>\n

This reporting is based on misleading information being peddled by anonymous sources aimed at harming our company, customers and shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s family trust owns 41% of Trump Media<\/a>, and Trump is the trust\u2019s sole beneficiary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shares of the company have fallen more than 50% so far this year. The market value of Trump Media has been volatile since it went public; it closed at about $8 billion <\/a>in its March 2024 debut, but is now worth about $1.8 billion. The company has lost about $1.76 \u200bbillion since 2024, including non-cash charges.<\/p>\n

Trump Media\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission filings<\/a> list Trump Jr., as the trustee of the family trust, with sole voting and investment power.<\/p>\n

White House spokesman Davis Ingle said neither Trump nor his \u200bfamily is directly involved in any portfolio investment decisions but did not address the allegations that the president was improperly using his office.<\/p>\n

Trump Jr. did not respond to a comment request. Questions about his role in the business were \u200creferred to \u2060the Trump Organisation, which did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Market-moving posts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The service is designed to allow customers to read Trump\u2019s posts more quickly<\/a> than a human would by constantly checking the app.<\/p>\n

The timing advantage, described as 50 milliseconds by Trump Media officials, can matter to trading firms or financial news and data organisations because a US president\u2019s posts can create swings in the value of assets.<\/p>\n

High-frequency Wall Street traders employ software that ingests news headlines, company announcements and government statements to search for market-moving information. The software can read, analyse, and execute a trade in thousandths of a second.<\/p>\n

In one example of how Trump\u2019s posts can move markets, oil futures sank<\/a> \u200bafter he announced,<\/a> on Truth Social, a ceasefire in the \u200bIran war in April.<\/p>\n

In August, Trump Media \u2060told investors it had \u201csigned more than 10 customer agreements\u201d which Reuters was unable to confirm.<\/p>\n

The company didn\u2019t name the clients, but said they were primarily Wall Street trading firms that are paying between $60,000 and $100,000 a month.<\/p>\n

Reuters, a financial-news competitor to Bloomberg, said in a statement: \u201cWe will assess the service, but have no current \u200bplans to subscribe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Selling faster access to Trump\u2019s posts has drawn criticism from Democrats and media entities.<\/p>\n

Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and California\u2019s Adam Schiff \u200bsaid in July<\/a> that they had \u2060asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether the service violated securities laws.<\/p>\n

They described it as a \u201cshocking abuse\u201d of office by a president seeking personal gain, without providing further explanation.<\/p>\n

The SEC declined to comment.<\/p>\n

A TMTG spokesperson said, \u201cCongressional Democrats continue to mischaracterise Truth API either out of ideological opposition to free markets or a failure to grasp the distinction between public and nonpublic information.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit against Trump by Intercept Media and non-profit Freedom \u2060of the Press \u200bFoundation, the plaintiffs described the paid data service as \u201cprofoundly corrupt.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The suit also alleges the service would violate the First Amendment rights \u200bof the public who don\u2019t have equal access to the information, and it would violate the Fifth Amendment by charging \u201cunreasonable sums\u201d for equal access to information guaranteed by law.<\/p>\n

The White House\u2019s Ingle did not directly address the lawsuit or its allegations, saying, \u201cPresident Trump only acts \u200bin the best interests of the American public \u2013 which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
