New financial disclosure filings reveal that U.S. President Donald Trump carried out extensive purchases and sales of stocks and bonds in major American companies during the first quarter of the year, with total transactions worth tens of millions of dollars.
The disclosures, submitted to the United States Office of Government Ethics and spanning more than 100 pages, detail a broad range of investment activity across several sectors.
According to the documents released Thursday, Trump purchased assets valued at up to $5 million per company during the first quarter, including investments in Nvidia, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft, Boeing, and Costco Wholesale.
The filings do not specify exactly how much of the transactions involved stocks versus bonds. Unlike congressional trading disclosures, presidential financial reports are not required to identify the exact asset class involved in each trade.
The largest sales took place on February 10, when Trump sold holdings in three major technology companies, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Amazon, in transactions estimated between $5 million and $25 million each.
Trump also sold at least $5 million worth of holdings in a Vanguard exchange-traded fund in January, according to the filings.
The disclosures are likely to renew scrutiny over Trump’s financial arrangements while serving in office. Unlike several of his predecessors, Trump did not fully divest his business holdings or place them into a fully independent blind trust.
Instead, his sprawling business empire continues to be managed by two of his sons, while several of the company’s operations intersect with industries and sectors affected by presidential policy decisions.
The filings come amid heightened attention on market-sensitive announcements tied to U.S. policy toward Iran and broader geopolitical tensions that have driven volatility across global markets.
