特朗普旗下的Truth Media & Technology Group推出了一项付费API服务「Truth API」,允许订阅者以每月10万美元的价格提前数毫秒获取特朗普在Truth Social上的发帖[1]。该服务还提供3年订阅方案,价格为每月6万美元[1]。截至周六该服务正式启用时,至少已有五家华尔街公司及数家金融媒体机构订阅[1]。
特朗普在周六发布了关于叫停对伊朗军事打击的帖子,随后油价大幅下跌,这引发了民主党议员的关注[1]。民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和亚当·希夫向美国证券交易委员会致函,要求调查该服务是否可能违反内幕交易法[1]。特朗普目前拥有Trump Media 41%的股份[1]。Trump Media去年的总收入仅为87.1万美元,第一季度亏损超过400万美元[1]。
Truth Media & Technology Group, the company behind Trump's Truth Social platform, has launched a subscription service that grants early access to the former president's posts.[1] The Truth API allows subscribers to receive Trump's posts several milliseconds before they are publicly released, with pricing set at $100,000 per month for a 12-month commitment or $60,000 monthly for a three-year subscription.[1]
At least five Wall Street firms and several financial media outlets have already subscribed to the service, which officially launched on Saturday.[1] That same day, Trump posted about halting military strikes against Iran, triggering a sharp decline in oil prices and prompting scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers.[1] Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff subsequently sent letters to the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting an investigation into whether the practice may violate insider trading laws.[1]
The venture underscores Trump Media's ongoing financial challenges.[1] The company generated only $871,000 in revenue last year and reported losses exceeding $4 million in the first quarter.[1] Trump personally owns 41 percent of Trump Media & Technology Group.[1]
