知情人士透露,彭博及兩家高頻交易公司已簽約,可比一般人更快取得川普貼文,引發濫用職權與違反證券法質疑。
川普創立的「真實社群」每月以高達10萬美元價格向彭博及華爾街交易公司出售貼文搶先看API服務,提供約50毫秒速度優勢,引發外界對道德、特權及證券法違規的質疑與訴訟。

川普媒體與科技集團於今年7月推出Truth API服務,向金融機構推銷以取得約50毫秒的貼文時間優勢。
路透社報導,美國總統川普創立的社群平台「真實社群」,與新聞及數據供應商彭博(Bloomberg)及華爾街兩家交易公司已簽約,讓他們能更快取得川普發布的貼文。知情人士透露,這項服務每月收費高達10萬美元。
這兩家交易公司分別是須斯罕那國際集團(Susquehanna International Group)及Jump Trading,兩家公司均是專注演算法與自動化策略的高頻交易公司。
這項服務讓訂閱客戶能比一般使用者更早取得川普在「真實社群」(Truth Social)發布的貼文。
由於川普總統貼文可能引發金融市場波動,這種時間上的優勢可能讓華爾街交易員取得一般投資人無法享有的先機。這些公司購買Truth API服務一事,先前未曾曝光。API是應用程式介面,可作為數位橋梁,讓不同系統彼此連接。
川普媒體與科技集團(Trump Media and Technology Group)今年7月宣布推出這項服務,並向交易公司及其他金融機構推銷。
川普媒體形容,這項服務可提供約50毫秒的時間優勢,對交易公司及金融新聞、數據機構而言,這種速度可能相當重要。部分批評人士認為此舉有違道德。
「真實社群」的付費存取計畫涉及尚未充分釐清的法律問題。今年8月,調查新聞網站「攔截」(Intercept)與「新聞自由基金會」(Freedom of the Press Foundation)對川普提起訴訟,要求阻止白宮在付費資訊串流服務存在下,僅透過「真實社群」發布官方公告。訴訟目前仍在進行,原告主張,對政府資訊設置付費門檻可能違憲,也可能偏袒財力雄厚的華爾街企業。
彭博、須斯罕那國際集團及Jump Trading均拒絕置評。
川普媒體聲明指出,「真實社群提供符合業界標準的API產品,各行各業對此都有大量需求。我們嚴肅看待客戶的保密性。這篇報導是根據匿名消息人士散布的誤導性資訊,目的是損害本公司、客戶及股東利益。」
今年以來,川普媒體股價累跌逾50%。自2024年上市以來,公司市值波動劇烈,2024年3月上市首日收盤市值約80億美元,如今已降至約18億美元。自2024年以來,川普媒體累計虧損約17.6億美元。
白宮發言人殷格爾(Davis Ingle)表示,川普及其家人並未直接參與任何投資組合的投資決策,但他沒有回應總統是否不當利用職權的相關指控。
今年8月,川普媒體告訴投資人,公司已「簽署超過10份客戶協議」,但路透社無法獨立確認此事。公司未公布客戶名稱,只表示客戶主要是華爾街交易公司,每月支付6萬至10萬美元。
作為彭博在金融新聞市場的競爭對手,路透社聲明指出,「我們將評估這項服務,但目前沒有訂閱計畫。」
此外,出售更快取得川普貼文的服務,已引起民主黨人士及媒體機構批評。
麻州民主黨聯邦參議員華倫(Elizabeth Warren)及加州民主黨聯邦參議員希夫(Adam Schiff)7月表示,已要求美國證券管理委員會(SEC)調查這項服務是否違反證券法。他們稱此舉是總統為謀取個人利益而「令人驚地濫用職權」,但未進一步說明具體理由。
美國證券管理委員會拒絕置評。
