Truth Social plans to launch a subscription service on August 1st that will allow users to pay up to $100,000 for early access to posts, potentially milliseconds before they are published on the website. This move is seen as targeting high-frequency trading firms that could profit from rapidly received market-moving information posted by President Trump.
“On the 1st of August, you'll be able to pay to access top posts on Truth Social milliseconds before they hit the website.”
“So if you could get that information a tiny bit faster than everybody else, you could make a lot of money.”
“And the price for this special access, could be up to $100,000.”
