US President Donald Trump made more than 1000 securities trades in the month of June. The total estimated value of the June transactions lies between $78.1 million to $263.1 million. The transactions were mainly about buying and selling across major corporates, ETFs and tech equities throughout the month.
According to the official disclosure by the US Office Of Government Ethics on August 22 that outlines financial ranges rather than exact figures, the largest single transaction recorded was a June 22 sale of shares in a Vanguard Group Inc exchange-traded fund, valued between $5-$25 million.
In addition to that, he also bought the shares of Palantir Technologies, acquiring between $1,001 and $15,000 worth on June 3. He then sold a portion worth between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 16, followed by a larger sale of between $5,00,00 - $1 million on June 18.

In 2025, Trump made massive 21,000 securities trades, in one of the most active trading periods. The total value of trades made during this year was between $600 million - $1.86 billion. In fact, it occasionally showed buying and selling of the same security on the same day.
The White House emphasised that Trump's investments are independently handled and thus there’s no conflict of interest.
In fact his son Eric Trump, the executive vice president of Trump's Organisation said that the assets were in a blind trust.
“All holdings are maintained in discretionary accounts and invested through computer-based model portfolios that automatically replicate recognised indexes, such as the Schwab 1000,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.
“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. All investment decisions are made entirely by independent managers.”
