donald trump
The recent huge movement in the investment accounts of US President Donald Trump has attracted the attention of the entire world from financial markets to political circles. According to a financial disclosure, between January 6 and March 30, 2026, shares from Trump’s portfolio were bought and sold 3,642 times. If we calculate this, then on average one trade took place every 35 minutes during market hours. In this short period, big deals ranging from $212 million to $695 million were made. This trading worth thousands of crores of rupees has now sparked a new debate in America whether this level of market activity is appropriate for a person holding the highest position in the country.
Biggest bets on tech companies
According to a report by CBS News, during this period investments were made in more than 1,000 companies as well as many funds. The technology sector had the biggest dominance in this. Shares of big tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Oracle were bought and sold in large numbers. At least $43 million were bought in these big tech companies, while $24 million were sold. Huge deals ranging from $5 million to $25 million were also seen in shares like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft.
Record rise seen in the month of March
In this entire quarter, the month of March was the most aggressive in terms of trading. While in January and February there were an average of 400 purchases every month, in March this figure suddenly jumped to 1,565. March 23 was the busiest day, when 283 deals were made only for buying in a single trading session. This rise is also surprising because in the last two months of the year 2025, only 191 transactions were made from this account, most of which were bonds.
Politics heated up due to insider trading allegations
The timing of some big deals has made this matter extremely sensitive. For example, on January 6, shares worth millions of dollars of Nvidia company were purchased from Trump’s account. Just a week later, the US administration relaxed the rules for selling this company’s AI chips in China. Similarly, shares of Palantir company were purchased in March, after which a few days Trump himself publicly praised the military capabilities of this company on social media. In view of these incidents, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has termed it as ‘possible insider trading’. Legal experts clearly say that the President has the power to take such policy decisions, which can directly change the movement of the stock market.
What did the Trump Organization say?
Seeing the growing controversy, the Trump Organization has clarified that the President or his family has no interference in investment decisions. They claim that external fund managers operate this portfolio independently. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant also defended saying that the President is not personally involved in this. Some market experts believe that such large number of trading could be part of some automated strategy to save tax or copy the index. However, this logic is not acceptable to many wealth managers. He says that making thousands of trades in three months does not seem like the work of an ordinary investor, but of a professional trading desk.
