Trump Media Rolls Out Paid API to Feed Market-Facing Truth Social Posts

Trump Media is launching a paid API that gives institutional clients licensed, real-time access to posts from Trump and other top Truth Social accounts, with an Aug. 1 rollout and early signups; the move mirrors industry practice of low-latency social feeds used by Wall Street, but draws ethics concerns since the president’s family is Truth Social’s largest shareholder and the platform has become a de facto presidential press room.

Trump's Trading Frenzy Outpaces the Market, Sparking Ethics Debate

Business Insider reports that Donald Trump logged about 21,285 stock trades in 2025—roughly 85 trades a day—with an equity portfolio that would have returned about 37.3% since his inauguration, beating the S&P 500’s 23.5%. The gains come from a mix of large megacap stocks, a massive stake in Trump Media, and sizable crypto income; experts warn that a president actively trading and promoting specific stocks creates significant conflicts of interest.

Trump Media posts $405M Q1 loss as it bets on fusion energy and prediction markets

Trump Media and Technology Group reported more than $405 million in first-quarter net losses on just over $871,000 in net sales, attributing the red ink to unrealized losses on digital assets, pledged assets, accreted interest and stock-based compensation; the company pointed to $2.2 billion in total assets and a fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow. It has replaced its CEO, is pursuing a more than $6 billion all-stock merger with fusion-energy firm TAE Technologies, plans to offer prediction markets on Truth Social, and is considering spinning off Truth Social as the stock trades around $9.

Trump Media taps Kevin McGurn to steer Truth Social after $6B stock wipeout

Trump Media & Technology named Kevin McGurn as interim CEO of Truth Social, replacing Devin Nunes after the stock fell about 67% and wiped out more than $6 billion in investor wealth. Nunes earned about $47 million in 2024; the company did not explain the departure or provide a timeline for a permanent replacement. McGurn said the platform is poised to take off. The firm, created to challenge Facebook and Twitter, has struggled to gain traction and has posted heavy losses, while branching into crypto and prediction markets.

Nunes exits Trump Media as CEO to focus on security advisory role

Former congressman Devin Nunes is stepping down as CEO of Trump Media & Technology, the company behind Truth Social, after more than four years at the helm. He said he will focus on his role as chairman of Trump’s intelligence advisory board and other ventures, with Kevin McGurn named interim CEO. The company has struggled financially, posting significant losses and a plunging stock price since going public, and while it once projected rapid growth, its actual performance so far has disappointed investors. Trump maintains majority control of the firm, whose long-term ambitions have yet to be realized.

Trump Media Weighs Spin-Off of Truth Social Into a Standalone Public Shell

Trump Media & Technology Group is considering spinning off its loss‑making Truth Social into a separate publicly traded shell and merging it with the Cayman Islands–based SPAC Texas Ventures Acquisition III, as part of a broader strategy that also includes a merger with fusion power company TAE Technologies. Details are scarce and no decision has been made; the move would create a pure‑play entity for Truth Social while the parent pursues other ventures, with Trump Media’s stock around $11 and a history of losses.
