Topline<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump made more than 1,000 stock trades in June, according to an ethics filing<\/a> published on Saturday\u2014including buying stock in SpaceX over a week after its IPO and trading major tech and defense stocks doing business with the U.S. government, including Palantir.<\/p>\n The president made over 1,000 stock transactions, according to the most recent disclosure form released on Saturday.<\/p>\n Getty ImagesKey Facts<\/p>\n The stock trades were published by the Office of Government Ethics<\/a>, listing over 1,000 individual sales and purchases of shares in June\u2014although the form does not provide an exact value of each transaction, instead listing a range.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s largest single transaction was the June 22 sale of shares of a Vanguard exchange traded fund, offloading between $5 million and $25 million of the ETF.<\/p>\n The other major trades were in major American financial services stocks, including a purchase between $1 million and $5 million of Berkshire Hathaway, and similarly valued purchases of Visa, Mastercard and Cintas.<\/p>\n Trump bought and sold shares of the same company multiple times\u2014for example, he sold shares of Palantir twice, including a sale worth up to $1 million on June 18, but he also bought shares of the company for smaller amounts three times, including a purchase valued between $100,001 and $250,000 on June 24.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s accounts also purchased and sold stock in major American tech companies like Meta, Broadcom, Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia.<\/p>\n He also notably bought SpaceX stock worth between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 23, about 11 days after its initial public offering, as the company is poised to make billions of dollars through government contracts for satellites, the Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n Key Background<\/p>\n The White House has previously insisted Trump\u2019s finances were placed in a blind trust after he took office. However, it is still unclear exactly who is controlling these stock transactions. In May, Eric Trump, the president\u2019s son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said<\/a> the president\u2019s accounts are \u201cmanaged by independent third-party financial institutions,\u201d and \u201cneither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization has any role in selecting, directing, approving, influencing or soliciting specific investments.\u201d However, Democrats have still called this arrangement into question, as well as the \u201cunprecedented\u201d volume of trading that has gone on during his second term in office. In a letter<\/a> signed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the lawmakers estimate he made 14,000 stock trades in 2025 worth up to $1.06 billion, for an average of about 50 trades per day. Forbes has reached out to the White House for further comment about the most recent trades. In a statement provided to Bloomberg<\/a> and other outlets, the White House said Trump\u2019s stock trades are made using \u201ccomputer-based model portfolios that automatically replicate recognized indexes, such as the Schwab 1000.\u201d<\/p>\n Big Number<\/p>\n $2.4 billion. That\u2019s how much Forbes estimates Trump made during his first year back in office in 2025, which far outpaces his $760 million estimated income in 2024. Notably, this figure does not include his stock trades, which were mostly reinvested in the market. Most of this newfound success instead came from his cryptocurrency ventures. <\/p>\n Surprising Fact<\/p>\n Trump sold stock in Yum Brands, the fast food restaurant operator that owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, in early June, then bought more in a transaction valued between $1,000 and $15,000 on June 12. This happened about a month before the cyclospora outbreak was linked to lettuce<\/a> used by Taco Bell restaurants in Michigan and four other states, causing visits to plummet<\/a>. Yum Brands\u2019 stock price cratered in July, but has since recovered slightly and is up 3.8% for the month.<\/p>\n Further ReadingForbesTrump Is Making Three Times As Much In White House As He Did In BusinessBy Dan Alexander<\/a>ForbesDemocrats Demand Answers On Trump\u2019s \u2018Unprecedented\u2019 Stock Trading VolumeBy Sara Dorn<\/a>ForbesTrump\u2019s Financial Disclosure: Major Crypto Moves Made Him Over $1 Billion In 2025By Antonio Peque\u00f1o IV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Topline President Donald Trump made more than 1,000 stock trades in June, according to an ethics filing published…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":823479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28,12,348992,727,1513,1169,41659],"class_list":["post-823478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-donald-trump","tag-ethics-disclosure","tag-palantir","tag-spacex","tag-stock-market","tag-stock-trading"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=823478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/823479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=823478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=823478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=823478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
