President Trump’s investment accounts continued to actively trade individual stocks in June, revealing they made more than 1,000 transactions, according to his latest government disclosure.
The White House said Saturday that the president has no role in the trading, which it said is handled by independent managers that use computer models that automatically replicate stock indexes.
There were more than 550 purchases and more than 450 sales revealed in the latest filing released Saturday. Among the largest stock trades were purchases of at least $1 million worth of each Berkshire Hathaway, Visa and Mastercard. These are all companies that the Trump accounts have previously traded.
Those purchases were made on June 18, the same day his accounts sold more than $1 million worth of Meta Platforms and Motorola. That was a day after the president signed an interim peace deal in Versailles, France, to end the conflict with Iran.
Trump’s accounts have been active buyers and sellers of individual stocks since he returned to the White House, raising concerns about the potential for conflicts of interest. He made big bets on tech stocks in the first quarter, though some of his biggest investments in June were financial institutions.
Earlier this year, a 900-page filing revealed the accounts had made more than 21,000 trades last year. Trump made more than $2 billion in 2025, largely from his investments in crypto ventures. The investment accounts are in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr.
“Neither President Trump nor any member of his family has any ability to direct, influence, or provide input regarding how the portfolio is invested or when investments are bought or sold,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in an email. “All investment decisions are made entirely by independent managers.”

The libs have taken it over, it seems. 30 years ago, or so, it was a voice of reason. I used to love their editorial page.
“Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Oh noes! An American citizen participating in the stock market!
Anyone bother to look into natzie pelousy’s stock activity for say, the last 50 years? Didnt think so
Like instantaneous compounding?
BS.
Horrible headline and WSJ knows it. They put that up there to cause more hate against him and for the clickbait. It says right in the article Trump has no dealings with it. Wsj has went leftward and has become an enemy to anyone who voted Republican and to the President.
Exactly. The Wall Street Journal is no friend of Conservatism. They are Deep State now.
For some reason, people persist in thinking it is conservative. It isn’t. They hate Conservatives.
They just love money. And that isn’t Conservatism in and of itself.
There is no blind trust. Never has been.
And yet, we get the usual TDS blathering idiots who flock to the thread spreading their cowardly filth.
“””Donald Trump does not have a blind trust.””””
Are you saying anything was done wrong?
NOW-—DO THEY HAVE THE GUTS TO TRACK PELOSI’S TRADING???
I am saying that if you were outragefabout Hunter Biden’s paint by numbers monstrosities going for a half a million a pop, it would be somewhat hypocritical not to be skeptical of the timing of some of Trump’s policy announcements / investments.
Trying to make it sound suspicious. 🙄
“””it would be somewhat hypocritical not to be skeptical of the timing of some of Trump’s policy announcements / investments.”””
Is this covered under the ORANGE MAN BAD umbrella?
But that would never, ever, ever happen. [wink wink]
Thank you for clarifying. But nothing what you said will be relevant during his impeachment hearings.
This wont matter in the impeachment hearings where the technical and legal are the truth.
