Trump Media Sells Wall Street Early Access to Market-Moving Truth Social Posts
Trump Media & Technology Group has launched a paid service giving Wall Street firms faster access to posts from Truth Social's most influential accounts, the BBC reported. Critics say the arrangement raises fairness questions given how quickly some posts move markets.
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, has begun selling Wall Street firms faster access to posts from the platform's most-followed accounts, the BBC reported. The paid service is designed to let subscribing firms see and act on influential posts moments before they reach the wider public feed.
The arrangement has drawn scrutiny because posts from prominent accounts on the platform, including President Donald Trump's own, have previously moved stock and currency prices within minutes of being published. Analysts say a paid speed advantage could let a small number of trading firms react before other investors have a chance to see the same information.
Trump Media has not detailed how many firms have signed up or how much the service costs. The company has previously said new revenue streams are part of its plan to diversify beyond advertising and subscription fees on the social platform.
