For $100,000 a month, Wall Street can now legally buy the one thing that gets prediction-market traders investigated: a head start on information that moves the market. That is the pitch behind Truth Social early access — a new paid data feed from Donald Trump’s media company that would deliver the president’s posts to traders milliseconds before everyone else sees them.
KEY FACTS AT A GLANCE
- Product: Truth PSI — a licensed, real-time data feed built for Wall Street
- Reported price: $100,000/month, or $60,000/month on a three-year plan (per the Financial Times; Trump Media has not confirmed pricing)
- Launch: August 1, 2026
- Coverage: the 10 highest-ranking Truth Social accounts, including Trump, Don Jr. and Eric Trump
- The edge: posts delivered in milliseconds, ahead of the public
- Owner: Trump Media & Technology Group (Nasdaq: DJT), roughly 53% owned by Trump
What Truth Social early access actually buys
Trump Media & Technology Group has announced Truth PSI, a paid, licensed data feed that gives banks, hedge funds and high-frequency trading firms posts from Truth Social’s highest-ranking accounts “in milliseconds” — significantly faster than a standard push notification. The feed offers 24/7 coverage and an archive of posts dating back to 2022, and it is built for firms that trade in fractions of a second. Some outlets have referred to the underlying feed as a “Truth API,” but the product name Trump Media is using is Truth PSI, with a launch slated for August 1, 2026.
The value proposition is speed. Trump has 12.9 million Truth Social followers, and his account is by far the most influential of the ten the feed covers. Selling faster access to public posts fits a broader pattern of monetizing influence directly — the same logic behind the growing business of selling a data feed rather than a platform.
“Markets already move on Truth Social posts.”
— Kevin McGurn, interim CEO, Trump Media & Technology Group
Why Wall Street would pay $100,000 a month
McGurn is not exaggerating. On April 2, 2025, Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff post landed ahead of the formal announcement and sent U.S. stocks tumbling nearly 5%, while gold and Treasuries soared. A week later, at 9:37 a.m. on April 9, he posted “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” — less than four hours before announcing a 90-day pause on most of those tariffs. What happened next explains the six-figure price tag.
According to PBS NewsHour, the S&P 500 closed up 9.5% that day, regaining roughly $4 trillion in value. Trump Media’s own stock jumped 22.67%, and Trump’s stake in the company rose an estimated $415 million in a single session — a windfall that raised pointed questions about market manipulation.
April 9, 2025, single-session figures per PBS NewsHour.
The pattern is not limited to equities. On June 24, 2026, Trump’s post declaring the Iran ceasefire “in effect” sent oil prices plunging almost instantly. For a trader, the math is simple: seeing a market-moving Truth even a few milliseconds early is worth real money — which is exactly what Truth PSI is selling.
The pricing — and who’s already buying
Trump Media’s own announcement did not disclose a price. The figures come from the Financial Times, which reported a $100,000 monthly fee for priority access, with a discounted tier of $60,000 a month for firms that commit to a three-year plan. Reuters corroborated the reporting. Trump Media has said the service will launch next month and that it has already signed up customers, describing it as a strategy to monetize “proprietary assets” and a “meaningful, ongoing source of revenue.”
| Tier | Reported price | Commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Priority access | $100,000 / month | Standard |
| Discounted tier | $60,000 / month | Three-year plan |
Pricing reported by the Financial Times; Trump Media has not confirmed figures.
The timing helps explain the appetite. Trump Media stock (Nasdaq: DJT) has fallen roughly 70% since Trump took office and trades around $9.66, making a high-margin data subscription an attractive new revenue line. It also slots neatly into Trump’s broader playbook for monetizing his political platform.
The legal edge that would get a prediction-market trader investigated
Here is where the story gets interesting for anyone who follows betting and prediction markets. The posts are public, and Truth PSI simply delivers them faster — so this is not classic insider trading, where the edge comes from information the public does not have. Legally, that distinction matters. Practically, it productizes exactly the kind of information advantage that draws subpoenas everywhere else in the market.
On platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, traders who appear to act on non-public information get flagged, fined and — in a growing number of cases — criminally charged. We have covered the four wallets that cashed in on the Iran ceasefire before Trump’s announcement and the information-edge problem regulators keep chasing across prediction markets. The uncomfortable symmetry is obvious: what gets a Polymarket trader investigated, Wall Street can now simply subscribe to.
That symmetry is sharpened by who sits atop the market’s referees. The same administration selling the feed also shapes the agencies that would police it — a dynamic visible in Trump’s posture toward the market regulators now fighting over jurisdiction.
“Brazen corruption”: the backlash
Ethics experts were quick to condemn the plan as an improper use of the presidency for private gain. Selling expedited, privileged access to what the president is doing, they argue, turns government transparency into a paywalled product.
“It’s yet more brazen corruption, an improper exploitation of government power.”
— Kathleen Clark, conflict-of-interest expert, Washington University School of Law
The Project on Government Oversight called the idea odious, framing it as selling access to the highest bidders on Wall Street. Senator Ron Wyden argued the plan would enrich Wall Street traders alongside the Trump family. For now, Trump Media is pressing ahead — betting that in a market where the president’s next sentence can move trillions, a millisecond is worth a fortune.
FAQs
Truth PSI is a paid, licensed data feed from Trump Media that delivers posts from Truth Social’s highest-ranking accounts — including Donald Trump’s — to Wall Street firms milliseconds before the general public sees them. It is scheduled to launch on August 1, 2026.
The Financial Times reported a price of $100,000 per month for priority access, with a discounted tier of $60,000 per month for firms that commit to a three-year plan. Trump Media’s own announcement did not disclose pricing.
Trump Media has said the service will start in August 2026, with reports pointing to an August 1 launch date.
Not in the classic legal sense. The posts are public information the moment they are published, and Truth PSI simply delivers them faster. Critics, however, argue that selling privileged, expedited access to the president’s market-moving statements is a form of corruption and a threat to transparency.
The feed covers the 10 highest-ranking Truth Social accounts. That includes President Trump — by far the most influential — along with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
In April 2025, a tariff post preceded a market selloff of nearly 5%, and days later his ‘THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!’ post came hours before a tariff pause that sent the S&P 500 up 9.5%. His June 2026 post declaring an Iran ceasefire sent oil prices sharply lower.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A paid head start — Trump Media’s Truth PSI would give Wall Street firms Truth Social posts milliseconds before the public, launching August 1, 2026.
- A reported $100,000 a month — the price ($60,000 on a three-year plan) comes from Financial Times reporting; Trump Media has not confirmed figures.
- The posts move markets — Trump’s tariff and Iran posts have swung stocks, gold and oil, once adding roughly $4 trillion to the S&P 500 in a day.
- A legal information edge — because the posts are public, this is not classic insider trading, yet it packages the exact advantage that gets prediction-market traders investigated.
- Ethics backlash — critics call it “brazen corruption” and a transparency threat, warning it lets the president profit from his own market-moving words.
