Trump Media sells early access to President Trump's Truth Social posts for up to $1.2 million annually
Odaily News - Trump Media is selling trading institutions early access to President Trump's Truth Social posts, with some institutions paying up to $1.2 million per year to get earlier insights into information that could impact market movements.
The service is considered to have potential market value. Previously, Trump announced on Truth Social the cancellation of planned military strikes against Iran, and following the post, WTI crude oil prices fell approximately 5% in a single day, demonstrating that presidential statements can have a significant impact on financial markets.
According to reports, the arrangement has raised concerns about information fairness in the market. Critics argue that if trading institutions can gain early access to presidential announcements that may affect market prices, it could create an information advantage and undermine fair competition among investors.
Currently, Trump Media has not publicly disclosed the specific client base or the lead time of the service, but the model has already sparked discussions among regulators and market participants regarding the commercialization of political information and the risks of insider information.
