President Donald Trump executed 94 trades in the first quarter of 2026 involving tech giants from the "Magnificent Seven" worth between $50 million and $70 million, according to his recently filed financial disclosure. The filing shows active accumulation of positions in Apple and Alphabet alongside a reduction in Tesla exposure.
The president’s personal account is nominally managed by the Trump Organization, whose representatives deny family involvement in trading activity. “Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,” spokesperson Kimberly Benza said in a statement.
Watchdog group CREW accused the president of a serious conflict of interest, pointing to the timing of transactions as particularly problematic. CREW cited the purchase on February 10, 2026, of at least $1 million of Nvidia shares, made one week before an official announcement of a partnership between the chipmaker and Meta.
Brokers executed dozens of transactions in other major technology names, including Microsoft and Amazon. The disclosure records purchases of Alphabet shares totaling up to $3.1 million and net purchases of Apple shares in a range between $2 million and $7.2 million. Tesla was the sole holding that the disclosure shows being reduced, with sales recorded between $30,000 and $330,000.
Twenty‑seven of the reported trades are annotated as unsolicited transactions, a designation indicating they were initiated at the client’s instruction and raising questions about the extent of independent portfolio management. Observers said the pattern of trades and the timing of certain purchases could fuel scrutiny over potential conflicts between private financial activity and public office.
