Trump Media and Technology Group announced that more than 10 customers have subscribed to Truth API, a service that provides accelerated access to posts from influential accounts on its Truth Social platform. The service, which launched at the beginning of August, primarily targets high-frequency trading firms, with subscription fees ranging from $60,000 to $100,000 per month, according to interim chief executive officer Kevin McGurn.
The company reported a quarterly loss of $238m for the period between April and June, representing a more than tenfold increase compared to the same quarter a year earlier. This significant loss occurred despite reported revenue of $1.7m, which represented an 89% increase year-over-year. The company attributed much of its financial decline to cryptocurrency holdings rather than its media operations.
The Truth API initiative has generated discussion regarding potential conflicts of interest, as the president’s family maintains majority ownership of Trump Media. The service is positioned to give institutional investors and Wall Street firms early visibility into posts from the platform’s most prominent users, particularly those related to market-moving announcements. The company has described the service as expected to provide a meaningful and durable revenue stream.
Management indicated plans to explore additional revenue opportunities through partnerships with technology firms, news organizations, and betting markets. The group maintains total assets of $2bn, including approximately $1.9bn in financial assets comprising cash, short-term investments, and digital currencies. An analyst noted that the company functions more as a cryptocurrency holdings firm with a media operation attached, with diversification efforts into social media and other sectors still in early stages of generating revenue.
