Trump Media has discussed charging trading firms as much as $100,000 a month for faster access to influential Truth Social posts, Reuters reported through a HuffPost syndication, while sources also described a $60,000 monthly price for a three-year commitment. [1]

The paper's July 16 account of Truth API found a claimed speed advantage but no price, customers, latency test or trading controls, and Friday supplies a reported price without supplying a written contract.

No verified X post tests the offer, and the public record remains incomplete: Trump Media says its planned August 1 feed will cover ten influential accounts and deliver posts faster than ordinary notifications, Time reports that the company disclosed neither cost nor exact latency, and Reuters attributes the price to unnamed sources familiar with confidential discussions. [1] [2]

At $100,000 a month, milliseconds become premium market data because presidential posts can move prices; however, the proposition remains unmeasured because no independent test compares the API with the app, rival feeds or the market's first reaction, and Trump Media has not named the customers it says signed up. [1]

Pitch, contract, delivery and revenue remain separate stages, making a service agreement with price, access rules, correction handling and timestamps more useful than another speed claim and leaving the striking number attached to a sales discussion rather than a proved trading edge.
