The transactions totaled between $78.1 million and $263.1 million, <a href=\"https:\/\/extapps2.oge.gov\/201\/Presiden.nsf\/PAS+Index\/2BF91F890F718ACB85258E5B002DE16B\/$FILE\/Donald-J-Trump-08.12.2026-278T.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to Trump&#8217;s latest filing<\/a> on Aug. 22, which shows a range for each sale or purchase rather than an exact figure. His securities purchases topped $49 million, while his sales totaled at least $28.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>While the filing gives a window into the investment moves made on behalf of Trump, it is not a clear picture of his total portfolio holdings. The amount bought or sold isn&#8217;t specific, and there is no indication of how much Trump owns of any particular security.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 1,051 transactions, the largest was the $5 million to $25 million sale of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/VIG\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF<\/a> shares on June 22. That same day he bought between $1 million and $5 million of both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/FIS\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fidelity National Information Services<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/HD\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Home Depot<\/a>. Those were the largest of several purchases of the stocks in June, although he also logged some sales of Fidelity as well. <\/p>\n<p>Trump sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares of both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/META\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Meta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/MSI\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Motorola<\/a> on June 18, but snapped up the same range of shares in each of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/BRK.B\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Berkshire Hathaway<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/CTAS\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cintas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/V\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/MA\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastercard<\/a> that same day. Those moves came a day after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/16\/stock-market-today-live-updates.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">market sold off<\/a> on concerns over the path of monetary policy. June 17 was the conclusion of Federal Reserve Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/kevin-warsh\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Warsh<\/a>&#8216;s first meeting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/17\/stock-market-today-live-updates.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stocks bounced back<\/a> on June 18..  <\/p>\n<p>Other purchases in June include a number of ETFs, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/GOVT\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/XLK\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/COMT\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iShares GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll Strategy ETF<\/a>. Trump also purchased several municipal bonds. <\/p>\n<p>The president&#8217;s sales included the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/BSV\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/XLY\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/VGK\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Those ETF transactions spanned just over $1 million to $5 million. In total, there were 25 sales and purchases of stocks, bonds and ETFs in that range. The remaining transactions were broken down into different buckets $1 million and under. The filings only require Trump to disclose securities transactions over $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>The president also moved in and out of defense contractor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/PLTR\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Palantir Technologies<\/a>, buying between $1,001 and $15,000 on June 3. He sold between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 16 and another $500,001 and $1 million worth on June 18. The U.S. and Iran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/14\/us-iran-war-peace-deal.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">agreed to a peace deal<\/a> on June 14. He bought a small amount again on June 23.<\/p>\n<p>Two other defense companies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/RTX\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RTX<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/NOC\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Northrop Grumman<\/a> were also named in the president&#8217;s disclosure. Trump bought between $100,001 and $250,000 worth of RTX shares on June 12, and sold between $1,001 and $15,000 of Northrop Grumman the same day. He then bought Northrop on June 23 and sold it again on June 24. <\/p>\n<p>He also bought and sold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/COIN\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Coinbase<\/a> throughout the month amid Bitcoin&#8217;s share decline. He offloaded between $116,003 and $315,000 worth of shares between June 12 and June 23, and then bought between $50,001 and $100,000 on June 24. <\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In May, spokesman Davis Ingle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/05\/15\/trump-stock-trade-tech-oge.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told CNBC<\/a>, after Trump&#8217;s disclosure of his first-quarter transactions, that the president&#8217;s assets are held in a trust managed by his children.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are no conflicts of interest,&#8221; spokesman Davis Ingle said in the statement at the time. &#8220;President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public \u2014 which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses from the fake news media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CNBC&#8217;s Kevin Breuninger and Dan Mangan contributed reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump disclosed just over 1,000 financial transactions for the month of June in what appears to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1017608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[71411,17945,76,64,81,26040,247679,112131,77,69,62732,57995,37925,407260,407261,254134,75621,11734,3747,65878,51326,26768,80,276215,134,181627,67,132,68,225640,261909,407262,11735],"class_list":["post-1017607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-berkshire-hathaway-inc","tag-bonds","tag-breaking-news-politics","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-cintas-corp","tag-coinbase-global","tag-consumer-discretionary-select-sector-spdr-fund","tag-donald-j-trump","tag-donald-trump","tag-exchange-traded-funds","tag-fidelity-national-information-services-inc","tag-home-depot-inc","tag-ishares-barclays-u-s-treasury-bond","tag-ishares-gsci-commodity-dynamic-roll-strategy-etf","tag-ishares-u-s-treasury-bond-etf","tag-kevin-warsh","tag-mastercard-inc","tag-meta-platforms-inc","tag-motorola-solutions-inc","tag-northrop-grumman-corp","tag-palantir-technologies-inc","tag-politics","tag-rtx-corp","tag-stock-markets","tag-technology-select-sector-spdr-fund","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-vanguard-dividend-appreciation-index-fund-etf-shares","tag-vanguard-ftse-europe-index-fund-etf-shares","tag-vanguard-short-term-bond-index-fund-etf-shares","tag-visa-inc"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1017607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1017607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1017607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1017608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1017607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1017607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1017607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
