In a document totaling over 110 pages, filed with the US Government of Ethics, Trump disclosed that he bought stakes worth over $5 million each in big tech companies including Nvidia Corp., Microsoft Corp., along with others such as Oracle Corp., Boeing Co., and Costco Wholesale Corp.
The documents do not disclose what kind of asset class Trump traded in, whether equities or bonds. Unlike members of the Congress, the US President does not have to specify the asset class he trades in.
While buying was prominent, Trump was also a heavy seller during the quarter, with the biggest sale coming on February 10, where he sold stake in three big tech firms – Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, each totaling between $5 million to as high as $25 million.
Trump also sold stake in a Vanguard ETF in January, worth at least $5 million, as per the document.
Most of these trades are classified as “unsolicited”, meaning that the trades were initiated by the filer of the document (Trump) and not by a broker.
Trump also sold positions in companies such as Ball Corp., Kraft Heinz, and Aon PLC, raising between $50,001 – $1,00,000 each from these transactions.
Trump Buys & Major Announcements
Incidentally, Trump made a big purchase in Nvidia, on February 10, the same day he offloaded stake in the big three tech companies.
The purchase value was between $1 million to $5 million and took place a fortnight before Nvidia announced a blowout fourth quarter performance where its revenue grew by 73% from last year.
Similarly, Trump made an investment of up to $5 million in Apple on March 2, the same day when CEO Tim Cook announced a “big week ahead” of product launches, disclosing the new iPhone 17e and new iPad models.
On March 19, the President bought stake in Microsoft worth over $5 million, the same day the company released major 365 roadmap updates, including new Copilot AI integrations for outlook and teams.
Lastly, a purchase of up to $5 million was also made in Amazon on March 19, coinciding with the final day of the Nvidia GTC 2026, where AWS announced several new AI-driven cloud features and milestones for its 20th anniversary of S3.
At the end of the report, the reviewing officials also note that the filer (Trump) paid “late fees” on May 13, with regards to this disclosure.
