Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social network, reported higher quarterly revenue driven by sales of exclusive early access to Donald Trump's posts. For the third quarter of 2026, the holding company recorded $3 million in revenue, and nearly half of that sum — $1.4 million — came from subscriptions, the website infohub.kz reports.
The main growth driver was the paid Truth API service, which delivers the president's posts to clients a few milliseconds before they appear publicly. Back in August, the company reported its first ten subscribers, each paying between $60,000 and $100,000 a month.
That kind of time advantage is of interest to traders and algorithmic funds that use trading bots. Trump's statements can instantly move stock and commodity prices, so a fraction of a second allows trades to be executed before the broader market reacts. Among the service's clients are financial information provider Bloomberg, as well as trading firms Susquehanna International Group and Jump Trading. For other investors, the subscription price proved too high, and the service itself drew criticism from experts over the risk of insider trading.
Despite the growth in operating metrics, the media company's core business remains unprofitable. The holding company posted net income of $410 million solely thanks to a paper revaluation of its rising cryptocurrency assets. In addition, the Truth API project has already faced lawsuits from public organizations and San Francisco authorities, which accused the company of violating fair competition rules and monetizing government information.
