OGE Filing Shows Trump Family Trust Logged 3,600+ Q1 Trades, Moving Money Into Apple and Chip Stocks

The scale and timing are renewing ethics questions over a family-run trust under vague disclosure bands.

Overview

  • The OGE’s first‑quarter 2026 filing lists more than 3,600 trades by the Trump family trust, including over 2,300 purchases, with each reported in wide dollar ranges.
  • The trust cut positions in Amazon, Meta and Microsoft, invested about $7.2 million in Apple, and made multi‑million buys in semiconductor names including Nvidia, Broadcom, Cadence, Synopsys and Texas Instruments.
  • Several buys came shortly before related government or market events, including Nvidia purchases ahead of a Commerce approval for limited China chip sales and before an NvidiaMeta deal, plus Boeing and Axon additions before reported sales and procurement plans.
  • The filings also show new stakes in crypto‑focused companies such as MicroStrategy, Coinbase and Marathon Digital, extending a shift toward digital‑asset exposure.
  • Assets are held in family‑run trusts led by Donald Trump Jr., and the ranged reporting leaves amounts and decision‑makers unclear, while Democrats press for probes and The Washington Post reported a $200 late‑filing fee.
