Trump Executes Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Q1 Securities Trades, Buying Nvidia and Apple-Related Securities

BlockBeats News, May 15 - The U.S. Government Office of Government Ethics released two new financial disclosure documents on Thursday local time, revealing that earlier this year, Trump disclosed a large-scale financial transaction involving at least $220 million, securities of several large U.S. companies. The new disclosure covers the first three months of 2026, with transactions totaling between $220 million and approximately $750 million.

The large purchases with a single value between $1 million and $5 million include S&P 500 index funds, Nvidia, and Apple. The large sales with a single value between $5 million and $25 million include Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta.

The documents did not consistently specify the specific types of securities involved, such as stocks or corporate bonds, nor did they indicate which accounts the transactions took place in or who placed the trading orders. Such disclosure documents are mandatory but only partially reflect officials' financial activities, as they only list transactions over $1,000 in a broad range of amounts, do not disclose specific transaction prices or profits, nor do they indicate whether assets were acquired directly or held through managed accounts. Trump's assets are held in a trust controlled by his children, and some transactions in the new documents show involvement of brokers acting as agents. (NBC)
