Treasury Accepts Public Stock Donations for Trump Accounts

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced it will accept philanthropic contributions of readily tradable public company stock for deposit into Trump Accounts. Eligible donors may transfer approved shares directly to Treasury, which will allocate the proceeds according to donor instructions into accounts for designated children.

Over six million families have already enrolled in the program. The accounts provide a savings vehicle for children, and the new contribution channel allows large-scale private funding to supplement any public appropriations.

Previously, Treasury had no established process for receiving non-cash philanthropic assets for these accounts. The new procedure takes effect immediately and remains available until the July 4, 2026 launch date.

Donors gain a defined route to move stock holdings into the program without separate custodial arrangements. Treasury must now process incoming transfers, value the shares, and execute allocations before the launch deadline. Families with enrolled children receive the resulting deposits on the schedule set by donor instructions.

The announcement follows the program's enrollment phase, during which six million families registered accounts. No prior federal savings program for children has accepted direct stock transfers from private donors at this scale.
