Finance“Trump Media & Technology Group is considering charging traders and investors up to $100,000 per month for faster access to President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts.”
Submitted on X by @Pavel32601592
The conclusion
Open in workbench →The evidence indicates Trump Media explored selling traders and investors faster access to Truth Social posts, with reports describing possible pricing up to $100,000 a month. That core account was widely carried by major outlets. The main caveat is that the exact $100,000 figure was reported from unnamed sources rather than officially published pricing.
Caveats
- The exact $100,000 monthly price was not publicly confirmed by the company and relies on anonymously sourced reporting.
- Reports describe internal discussions or possible tiers; they do not establish that this price was finalized or broadly implemented.
- Coverage often refers to a fast Truth API or data feed that may include Trump's posts, not a fee charged to ordinary Truth Social users.

According to a company news release, Truth PSI will allow subscribers to receive posts from "the highest-ranking Truth Social accounts" before other users.

Trump Media & Technology Group has announced the launch of a subscription-based data feed that promises to offer banks and trading organizations "the quickest" access to updates from key Truth Social accounts, including that of President Donald Trump.[3] The new service, named "Truth API", is set to provide posts from the ten most significant accounts at a rate considerably quicker than standard push notifications on the Truth Social platform, as stated by a company representative.[3] The company indicated that it has already secured clients ahead of the launch on August 1, but did not publicly disclose pricing in its announcement.[3]
Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, announced Thursday it’s launching a service that will sell faster access to posts on the site — including Trump’s regular markets-moving diatribes. A spokesperson for Trump Media told Reuters that the application, called Truth API, will give paying users access to posts from the 10 most influential accounts at a faster pace than normal Truth Social push notifications. Trump Media did not immediately respond to request for comment on the application, whose posts will be made available or how much the service will cost.
President Donald Trump’s media company wants traders and investors to pay for real-time access to Truth Social posts from the social media platform’s “highest-ranking” accounts. Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. said in a statement Thursday that the data feed — called Truth API — is meant for organizations like high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms, which depend on quick access to information, and is set to launch next month. The Financial Times reported the company has discussed charging as much as $100,000 a month for the service, citing people familiar with the matter.
The company behind social-media network Truth Social is launching a service that will give paying customers interested in market-moving information "licensed, real-time access" to posts from President Donald Trump and other top accounts, the company said Thursday.[6] The service, known as an API, will launch Aug. 1 and already has signed up some institutional customers, according to Trump Media's press release.[6] The company did not disclose in the release how much it will charge for the service.[6]
President Donald Trump has routinely broken with convention by issuing policy pronouncements and market-moving commentary on his social media platform, Truth Social. Now, his media company is seeking to charge traders and investors for immediate access to his posts, by selling a real-time data feed called Truth API that will deliver messages from the platform’s highest-ranking accounts to paying clients. People familiar with the matter told the Financial Times that Trump Media & Technology Group has explored pricing the service at up to $100,000 per month for access to the fastest feed.
In support of these claims, users circulated a purported screenshot that reads, "3 Free Trial $4.99/wk" and "Subscription renews automatically." However, the image cited in this assertion actually reflects pricing for a different application unrelated to Trump, and there is no substantiation that Truth Social is imposing a $4.99 weekly fee. Truth Social is currently free in Apple's store, and there have been no reports of users incurring charges for downloading or utilizing the app. After thorough investigation, we classify the assertion that Truth Social will charge users $4.99 weekly as FALSE.
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) said Thursday that it's planning to launch a feed giving real-time access to the highest-ranking Truth Social accounts. The company said the offering, called Truth API, will provide institutional customers with "the fastest" access to posts from Truth Social accounts like the president's own, which often move markets. MarketWatch, citing a Financial Times report, noted that people familiar with the matter said Trump Media has discussed charging traders and investors as much as $100,000 a month for the service.
Recently, Trump Media introduced a subscription option on Truth+ called the Patriot Package. For a monthly fee of $9.99, subscribers gain access to 12 additional channels, including primary news from Newsmax and One America News Network. Furthermore, subscribing for $10 a month offers at least one exclusive advantage: according to the company, paying subscribers receive automatic verification on Truth Social, denoted by a red mark next to their profiles.

Trump Media clearly views Truth+ as a vital avenue for future income: it is currently testing a $9.99-per-month subscription model for American users, dubbed the "Patriot Package," and is actively promoting a free trial of this enhanced viewing experience across Truth Social platforms. Subscribers can choose between the "Basic" package, which is completely free, and the "Patriot Package," which offers at least a dozen additional channels along with more on-demand content. Subscribers also receive benefits similar to those of paid Twitter accounts on Truth Social, including red check verification, a Truth+ badge for their profile, increased visibility in feeds, and the ability to schedule and edit their posts.
Trump Media & Technology Group says it’s launching “Truth API” on August 1st, selling faster, paid access to influential Truth Social posts – including President Donald Trump’s – to banks and algorithmic trading firms.

The company has not yet publicly disclosed pricing details for the service.

Debate
Two AI advocates debated this claim using the research gathered.
Argument for
Source 1 (Reuters), Source 8 (Bloomberg), Source 10 (WSJ), Source 12 (MarketWatch), Source 14 (AP), Source 19 (Chosun Biz), Source 21 (Oninvest), Source 23 (WSJ via X), and Source 25 (LLM Background Knowledge) all confirm that Trump Media & Technology Group has discussed and explored charging up to $100,000 per month for its Truth API service providing millisecond-level access to posts from the platform's highest-ranking accounts including President Trump's, as reported by the Financial Times citing people familiar with the matter. This directly establishes the claim as true because the company's public launch of the paid data feed on July 16, 2026, for traders and investors aligns precisely with the reported pricing considerations for faster access.
The Proponent commits a logical fallacy by equating unverified pricing discussions reported by third parties with an official corporate plan to charge this specific fee. In reality, multiple reputable outlets including Source 3 (LiveNOW from FOX), Source 6 (NBC News), and Source 14 (AP News via Audacy) explicitly confirm that Trump Media's official press releases and public announcements completely omitted pricing details.
Argument against
The claim that Trump Media is considering a $100,000 monthly fee is based entirely on unverified third-party rumors, as Reuters explicitly noted in Source 1 that it could not independently verify these figures. Furthermore, official company announcements and press releases for the Truth API service have completely omitted pricing details, confirming that no such fee has been formally established or disclosed by the company itself, as detailed in Source 3 and Source 6.
The Opponent's argument relies on Source 1's verification disclaimer while ignoring corroboration from Source 8 (Bloomberg), Source 10 (WSJ), Source 12 (MarketWatch), Source 14 (AP), Source 19 (Chosun Biz), Source 21 (Oninvest), Source 23 (WSJ via X), and Source 25 (LLM Background Knowledge) that all affirm the $100,000 monthly fee discussions reported by the Financial Times. The Opponent commits a straw man fallacy by equating the absence of public pricing disclosure in Sources 3 and 6 with the nonexistence of internal pricing considerations for the Truth API service that the claim addresses.
Panel Review
3 specialized AI experts evaluated the evidence and arguments.
Reviewer 1 — The Logic Examiner
The logical chain from the evidence to the claim is sound, as multiple independent, highly reputable news outlets (Sources 1, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 19) corroborate that Trump Media has explored and discussed charging up to $100,000 per month for its new high-speed data feed. Because the claim is framed as the company 'considering' this pricing tier rather than having officially finalized it, the unverified status of the final public price does not invalidate the truthfulness of the ongoing considerations.
Reviewer 2 — The Source Auditor
The most reliable sources in this pool — Reuters (Source 1), Bloomberg (Source 8), WSJ (Source 10), AP (Source 2/14), and CNBC (Source 9) — all confirm that Trump Media launched a paid data feed called Truth API for traders and investors. The $100,000/month figure originates from the Financial Times citing 'people familiar with the matter,' and is corroborated by multiple high-authority outlets including Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ, and MarketWatch, all of which attribute it to the same FT report. Reuters notes it could not independently verify the figure, and official company press releases did not disclose pricing. The claim uses the word 'considering,' which accurately reflects the internal discussions reported — not a finalized public price. The core elements of the claim (Trump Media considering charging traders/investors up to $100,000/month for faster access to Truth Social posts) are supported by multiple high-authority, largely independent outlets all citing the FT's sourced reporting, and the word 'considering' appropriately hedges the claim. Source 11 (USA TODAY 2022 fact-check) is entirely irrelevant to this claim as it addresses a different, unrelated pricing rumor from 2022. Source 25 (LLM Background Knowledge) is not an independent source and should be discounted. The claim is substantially confirmed by credible, independent reporting from Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ, and AP, with the caveat that the $100,000 figure comes from unnamed sources via FT rather than official company disclosure.
Reviewer 3 — The Precision Analyst
The claim's wording matches the evidence exactly: multiple sources (1, 8, 10, 12, 14, 19, 21, 23, 25) report that Trump Media has discussed or explored charging up to $100,000 per month for the Truth API's fastest tier providing millisecond access to top accounts including Trump's, using language of internal consideration rather than finalized pricing. The claim does not overstate scope, numbers, or causality, as the service targets precisely the described faster access and the $100k figure is reported consistently without contradiction on the quantity itself.
