Overview
- The Office of Government Ethics, which posted the first‑quarter reports Thursday, listed more than 3,600 transactions with a combined value range of $220 million to roughly $750 million.
- The filings cite large buys and sales tied to major firms including Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Apple, Oracle, Broadcom, Boeing and banks, with individual moves in the $1 million to $5 million and $5 million to $25 million ranges.
- The reports use broad value bands and do not show exact amounts, profits, accounts or who placed trades, and they note the president’s assets sit in a family trust run by his children with some orders executed by brokers.
- Several trades lined up with government actions that affected the same companies, including Nvidia purchases near a Commerce Department chip approval and a Meta deal, as well as activity in Palantir before a DHS agreement and Axon as ICE outlined a Taser plan.
- The trust also bought crypto‑linked stocks such as Coinbase, MARA and MicroStrategy while the administration eased enforcement and backed new crypto rules, drawing watchdog and lawmaker scrutiny, with a fuller annual disclosure still to come later this year.
