President Donald Trump has reported thousands of financial transactions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars – including major purchases and sales of tech giants. Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon again Meta – in the first three months of 2026, new forms of disclosure appear.
Trump’s filing with the US Government Accountability Office shows more than 3,700 transactions, with the total amount of each listed as a range rather than an exact amount.
The transactions, which became public on Thursday, are worth between $220 million and $750 million combined, according to Reuters.
Trump’s biggest purchases and sales are skewed toward the technology sector, documents show.
Among the dozen jobs worth between $1 million and $5 million in the first quarter of 2026, Trump bought the securities of Service Nownvidia, AdobeMicrosoft, The Oracle, Broadcom, Motorolaamazon, Texas Instruments again Dellthe documents show.
Four of Trump’s biggest sales during that time were also tech-heavy: He sold between $5 million and $25 million of Microsoft, Amazon and Meta securities in Feb. 10, according to the text. A number of other activities took place on the same day.
The timing of the president’s transactions was accompanied by news from the companies he was buying or selling, said a report in the NOTUS newspaper on Thursday.
One week after Trump’s Feb. 10 between $1 million and $5 million of Nvidia stock, for example, that company announced a major chip deal with Meta.
The president also bought between $500,000 and $1 million in Nvidia stock one week before the Commerce Department officially approved the sale of some Nvidia chips in China, NOTUS reported.
The documents did not say whether Trump directed any trades himself. Some transactions are described in the documentation as “unsolicited,” though that term is vague. OGE did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for clarification.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle, in a statement sent to CNBC, said the president’s assets are kept in a trust managed by his children.
“There is no conflict of interest,” Ingle said in a statement. “President Trump is only acting in the best interest of the American public – that’s why they re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations about him and his businesses from the fake media.”
Presidents are not prohibited from holding or trading stocks while in office, but are required to report their activities.
Trump’s annual financial disclosures are expected to come out later this year.
The latest filing only requires Trump to disclose securities transactions of more than $1,000. The forms also specify that filers do not have to disclose certain financial assets, such as mutual funds or other investment funds, US Treasury bonds and stocks.
