Trumps Stock and Fund Transactions in Early 2026 Focus on Chip Stocks, Gradually Selling Tech Shares Worth $220 Million

President Donald Trump filed financial disclosure documents with the US Office of Government Ethics detailing his purchases and sales of stocks, funds, and bonds of many major American companies during the first quarter of this year, with a total value exceeding 220 million US dollars.

According to the detailsfinancial disclosure documentsThe latest document, over 100 pages long, reveals that since early 2026, Trump has purchased assets valued up to 5 million US dollars per company in several major US corporations including Nvidia, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Broadcom, Boeing, Dell, Adobe, Uber, and Costco Wholesale, as well as funds such as the S&P 500 Index Fund.

However, the document does not specify exact amounts or types of assets purchased, only ranges. The major companies mentioned show purchases ranging between 1 to 5 million US dollars. Trump was not required to disclose detailed asset types such as whether they were stocks, funds, or bonds.

Previously, Trump has actively pursued policies directly related to these publicly listed companies, especially Nvidia, whose AI chips are central to the AI industry and require US government approval for export abroad.

Meanwhile, the document also notes that Trump conducted six transactions involving Intel, following the US government's recent agreement to acquire a 10% stake in Intel valued at nearly 9 billion US dollars last August.

In the media and streaming industry, Trump is also involved with companies such as Netflix, Paramount Skydance, and Warner Bros. Discovery, all of which have had business transactions and faced antitrust issues.

Trump invested in all three streaming companies; in March, he purchased at least 30,000 US dollars worth of Warner Bros. Discovery shares and held at least 15,000 US dollars in Paramount Skydance during the same period. Meanwhile, Netflix saw both purchases and sales totaling 19 transactions, with sales ranging from 1,000 US dollars up to 5 million US dollars.

However, the White House stated that neither Trump nor his family members make investment decisions themselves; instead, independent financial managers handle asset transactions through investment programs based on widely recognized market indices.

The highest value sales occurred on 10 February, when Trump sold holdings in three technology companies: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon, with values ranging from 5 million to 25 million US dollars. However, purchases in Microsoft and Amazon were also made in the range of 1 to 5 million US dollars, and Meta purchases ranged from several thousand to 500,000 US dollars.

Additionally, the document indicates a sale of Vanguard ETF fund units in January valued at at least 5 million US dollars.

In the financial sector, transactions included purchases in Goldman Sachs valued between 500,000 and 1 million US dollars, and purchases in Bank of America without specific investment amounts disclosed.

This disclosure shows that Trump differs from many past US presidents, as he has not transferred his assets into a Blind Trust managed independently without his knowledge of the investment details.

Currently, Trump's large business empire is managed by his two sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., and operates in multiple industries directly affected by or related to US government policies under his presidency.

Another notable point is that the document records over 3,600 transactions within just one quarter, leading many American media outlets to view this portfolio as unusually active for a head of state.
