Trump Financial Disclosures Reveal Over 1,000 Stock Trades in June
The Story
Donald Trump undertook a shuffling of his stock portfolio in June, selling nearly $30 million in shares that month, according to financial disclosures.
Trump made more than 1,000 stock trades in June. The financial disclosure form, published by the Office of Government Ethics, does not show exact figures but indicates purchases of at least $49 million and sales of at least $28.5 million in total. The largest single transaction was a sale valued between $5 million to $25 million of shares from the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF.
Major purchases included Home Depot stock and Fidelity National Information Services. Other trades involved financial services stocks like Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, Mastercard, and Cintas. Trump bought and sold shares of the same company multiple times, such as Palantir, selling shares worth up to $1 million on June 18 and buying shares valued between $100,001 and $250,000 on June 24.
His accounts purchased and sold stock in major American tech companies like Meta, Broadcom, Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Trump bought SpaceX stock worth between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 23, about 11 days after its initial public offering. SpaceX is poised to make billions through government contracts for satellites. Congress debates whether those in power should be allowed to trade stocks.
Trump put his businesses and financial interests in a blind trust during his first term but appears to have abandoned this approach in his second term. A White House spokesperson, Davis Ingle, denied conflicts of interest in May regarding first quarter FY 2026 investments, stating, "There are no conflicts of interest." Trump bought shares on June 23 and June 24 after the US and Iran agreed to a peace deal on June 14.
