President Trump Media & Technology Group sells high-frequency trading firms a low-latency API feed of Truth Social posts for $100,000 monthly.
President Trump Media & Technology Group is charging high-frequency trading firms up to $100,000 per month for a low-latency API feed that delivers Truth Social posts nanoseconds faster than the standard public feed. While the posts remain available to all users simultaneously, the premium service allows algorithmic traders to process and route trades to exchanges with a slight speed advantage. This speed is critical for capturing market moves triggered by statements on tariffs, sanctions, or personnel. The administration announced the move as a strategy to monetize proprietary assets through a high-margin, recurring revenue stream. However, the arrangement has drawn scrutiny from several Democratic senators. Senators Warner, Warren, and Schumer flagged the deal as potential self-dealing, noting that the president is profiting from his own communications. While some critics call the move "scandalous" and a "misuse of power," the company maintains that the feed provides essential value for firms that must stay ahead of competitors to satisfy fiduciary obligations to shareholders.
