Wall Street has begun to embrace Trump Media and Technology Groups newest product: instant access to President Donald Trumps Truth Social posts.Truth Social owner Trump Media, in its first-ever earnings call with analysts Monday evening, said it has signed more than 10 customer agreements, mostly with high-frequency trading companies. Trump Media said those customers are willing to pay between $60,000 and $100,000 a month to gain access to the Truth Social data feed, known as an application programming interface (API). That direct link gives Wall Street a leg up over retail traders by delivering Truth Social posts split seconds faster than the public sees them.RELATED STORY | Trump stands to profit off US policy announcements by selling fast access to his social media postsFor high-frequency trading machines, milliseconds can mean serious money. Their algorithms look for signs that they should buy or sell, and by the time regular traders notice, its often too late to take advantage.Truth Socials most-followed and important poster, Trump, often announces policy decisions on his companys platform sometimes even before his own administration is aware. Instant access to proclamations about tariff policy, national security and executive orders that affect the economy could send oil, bonds, stocks or other assets sharply higher or lower.Spending tens of thousands of dollars for speedy access to those market-moving announcements could be a no-brainer for high-frequency trading firms. And apparently, its a profitable venture for Trump and his social media company, too.We recognized a modest amount of revenue from these agreements today, said Kevin McGurn, interim CEO of Trump Media, on a conference call with analysts. We believe this can grow into a meaningful, durable contributor.McGurn announced that the company is in active conversations to grant Truth API access to news organizations and AI companies, including hyperscalers that provide huge amounts of computing powered by massive data centers and large language models.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Trump Media to merge with nuclear fusion company that wants to power AILast month, Democratic Sens.

However, five years later and despite Trump using Truth Social as his principal means of presidential communication, the platform remains a very tiny player that, by some measures, is getting even smaller.In July, Truth Social attracted just 261,300 daily active users, down 40% year over year, according to data shared with CNN by research firm Similarweb.Despite a modest decline in traffic, X (formerly Twitter) averaged 123.5 million daily active users in July or nearly 500 times more than Truth Social.That small amount of traffic and minuscule advertising revenue led to just $1.7 million in sales last quarter and a $238 million loss. That was significantly larger than the $20 million loss the company reported in the same quarter a year earlier.The company has never reported a quarterly profit.The-CNN-Wire 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
