Trump Media Truth API faces SEC probe
Entities: Adam Schiff · Trump Media & Technology Group · Elizabeth Warren · U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission · Donald Trump
Overview
July 2026 – Federal filings show former President Donald Trump made roughly 21,000 stock trades in the prior year, netting about $2 billion, including $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency. His portfolio spans about 1,500 companies, with a 41 % stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) held through a revocable trust. TMTG announced a paid “Truth API” (also called Truth PSI) to launch on 1 August 2026, delivering millisecond‑ahead, machine‑readable feeds of posts from the ten most influential Truth Social accounts, principally Trump’s. Pricing tops US$100,000 per month, with discounts for multi‑year contracts. Analysts view the service as a shift toward enterprise SaaS revenue for a firm that posted $3.68 million in 2025 revenue but remains loss‑making.
The launch prompted scrutiny: Rep. Ritchie Torres (D‑NY) urged SEC Chair Paul Atkins to investigate potential securities‑law violations; Senator Mark Warner warned of unfair information asymmetry; CNN anchor Dana Bash questioned insider‑trading implications; the Trump administration dismissed the concerns. In late July 2026, Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff sent a letter to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins urging an official probe into the Truth API, citing possible breaches of securities regulations by providing privileged, seconds‑ahead market information. The SEC confirmed receipt of the letter but offered no comment.
