Mr. Trump charges a preview fee for Truth Social posts, investors are willing to spend heavily

Thanh Hà |

US President Donald Trump charges fees for users to access posts on the social network Truth Social early.

On August 2, Trump Media & Technology Group officially launched the Truth API service. This service was first announced in mid-July.

According to the introduction, paid customers will almost immediately access Mr. Trump's posts on Truth Social, a few seconds earlier than the public.

Most of Mr. Trump's posts on Truth Social are images created by artificial intelligence (AI) or comments aimed at political opponents.

However, he also often uses this platform to publish important information, from the developments of the conflict with Iran to tariff decisions.

These statements repeatedly caused stock prices, oil and various types of financial assets to fluctuate sharply in a very short time.

Axios news site said that the subscription fee to preview posts ranges from 60,000-100,000 USD/month.

According to The Wall Street Journal, 5 financial trading companies have registered to use this service immediately after its launch.

Mr. Art Hogan - an analyst at B. Riley Wealth Management - told AFP that the goal of the service is to give "the fastest trading investors and algorithms an advantage in just a moment".

Just hours after the new service was launched, Mr. Trump showed the impact of posts on Truth Social on the market. After he announced the cancellation of the plan to attack Iran in a post on August 2, oil prices immediately fell.

Ms. Ann Lipton - a law professor at Colorado University Boulder - said that Mr. Trump understands the value of his statements very well. The more volatile the market because of posts, the more valuable the new paid service.

Last month, Mr. Trump defended the recovery of about 1.2 billion USD from cryptocurrency projects in 2025. He said that "everyone is benefiting" from the stock market's upward momentum since his return to the White House.

Forbes financial magazine estimates that since 2024 - the time Mr. Trump won the US presidential election, Mr. Trump's net worth has increased from $2.3 billion to $6.5 billion.
