President Trump's investment advisers made more than 21,000 securities trades during his first year back in office, according to his annual financial report. The accounts grew to at least $858 million and included stakes in approximately 1,600 companies.
Holdings included companies with government contracts such as Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Intel, and Nvidia, as well as private prison operators GEO Group and CoreCivic.
Trading activity and timing The report showed purchases of between $1 million and $5 million each in Amazon, Apple, Broadcom, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia on July 23, 2025, the same day the White House unveiled its AI Action Plan. The disclosure did not indicate whether the trades occurred before or after the announcement.
One account made 327 purchases the day before an April 9, 2025 post that preceded a 90-day pause on tariffs. Advisers also bought between $200,000 and $680,000 of Palantir stock before an April 10, 2026 social media post that mentioned the company.
Management and market context The White House stated that the accounts are managed by professional advisers who do not regularly communicate with the president. President Trump said the trades reflect broader stock market growth. The 2025 report listed far more transactions than the 86 stock trades recorded in the first year of his previous term.
