Truth API: Trump Media’s Secret Data System That Manipulates Markets

Trump Media & Technology Group has launched an early-access API service for Truth Social posts, giving financial firms a millisecond advantage in accessing market-moving announcements. The service, priced between $60,000-$100,000 monthly, has already attracted 10 customers. Trump, who owns 41% of the company, stands to benefit from the revenue stream.

This is clearly insider trading. The Truth API allows Trump’s political statements to reach markets faster than other participants. The SEC has initiated an investigation into the practice. The company defends the service as merely providing public data, but experts warn it poses a market manipulation risk. Truth API’s success is part of Trump Media’s broader social media strategy. The company is actively expanding the service to attract more customers.

This could mark the beginning of a new ecosystem where media and finance converge. Markets will watch closely how such hidden data flows disrupt long-term order.
