Trump Media's new paid data service goes live, giving clients faster access to Trump’s posts - CNBC

Trump Media and Technology Group launched its paid data service, "Truth API," on August 1, 2026, offering firms faster, real-time access to Truth Social posts from President Donald Trump and other prominent accounts.
Interim CEO Kevin McGurn described the service as providing a "direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform's most market-moving Truths," framing it as a high-margin, recurring revenue stream tied to the company's proprietary assets.
While Trump isn't explicitly named, his @realDonaldTrump account is by far the largest on the platform, with 13 million followers, and frequently breaks his most significant policy decisions, including updates on the war with Iran.
Trump's family is the largest shareholder in Trump Media, the public company that operates Truth Social, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
Democratic Senators Adam Schiff of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts urged the SEC to investigate whether the service violates the law, calling it an "outrageous abuse of the President's office" in a letter to SEC chair Paul Atkins.
The senators argued the offering undermines everyday investors and market integrity while enriching Wall Street and wealthy insiders; the SEC declined to comment on the letter.
