'People will pay because they have to': Trump Media pitches $100,000 monthly fee for faster Truth Social posts
Trump Media & Technology Group plans to charge up to $100,000 per month for the Truth API data service, offering faster access to Donald Trump's Truth Social posts.
The service targets proprietary trading firms and hedge funds, as Trump's posts frequently cause major market fluctuations.
The Truth API would provide posts milliseconds before the general public, crucial for high-frequency and algorithmic traders.
The announcement drew Wall Street backlash over paying for market-moving information from a company tied to the president.
Trump's past Truth Social posts have moved markets, including a 9.5% S&P 500 rally after he said 'great time to buy' during tariff pauses.
