A commercial data feed priced at $1.2 million gives Wall Street clients rapid access to Donald Trump's Truth Social posts, capitalizing on the market-moving potential of his social-media announcements.
The opportunity traces back to April 9, 2025, when Trump told his Truth Social followers it was a great time to buy. A few hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on many of his new tariffs. Markets reacted sharply: the S&P 500 finished the day 9.5% higher, and Bitcoin gained more than 5%. Crypto traders holding short positions lost $374 million as markets repriced the policy change delivered through the president's social-media account.
The episode drew calls for an investigation into whether anyone had traded with advance knowledge of the announcement. It also revealed what the report describes as a deceptively simple but potentially very lucrative commercial opportunity: when one account can change the expected prices of imports, oil, government bonds and public-company shares, being first to read that account's posts carries direct financial value.
The $1.2 million data feed is built around that premise, positioning access to Trump's social-media output as a tradable input for market participants seeking to react to his policy announcements before broader markets do.
