The parent company of US President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform said it had signed up clients willing to pay for early access to Trump’s posts.<\/p>\n

It delivered the news while reporting a tenfold increase in second-quarter losses.<\/p>\n

Trump set up Truth Social in 2022 after being banned from Twitter – later renamed X – and now uses it as his go-to platform for major announcements.<\/p>\n

Trump Media & Technology Group announced last month that customers can pay for early access to the president’s market-moving social media posts, a service dubbed Truth API.<\/p>\n

“Our new Truth API product is already generating revenue, with more than ten customer agreements signed to date,” interim CEO Kevin McGurn said in a press release, without identifying the customers.<\/p>\n

Truth API saw “a number of institutional customers” before its 1 August launch and is continuing to gain more despite “factually inaccurate criticism,” the company said.<\/p>\n

Trump’s move to sell high-speed access raised fresh questions about the monetisation of the presidency.<\/p>\n

News outlet Axios has reported that monthly subscription rates for the early access run from $60,000 to $100,000.<\/p>\n

In its press release, Trump Media & Technology Group posted a loss of $238.1m for the quarter ending 30 June.<\/p>\n

This stood in sharp contrast to its $20m loss for the same quarter in the prior year.<\/p>\n

The shortfall was largely due to declines in non-cash assets. This included more than $190m in losses from “digital assets, digital assets pledged, and equity securities.”<\/p>\n

The company meanwhile reported $1.7m in revenue, up 89% from the same period a year earlier.<\/p>\n

In its first fiscal quarter, Trump Media & Technology Group similarly reported a net loss mostly due to tumbling cryptocurrency valuations.<\/p>\n

The company added that it is well-positioned to complete its proposed merger with nuclear-fusion company TAE Technologies in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
