President Donald Trump’s financial disclosure reveals unprecedented individual stock trading volume for a sitting U.S. president.
President Donald Trump executed 3,642 stock transactions in the first quarter of 2026, valued between $220 million and $750 million, according to federal filings released May 14. The disclosure, signed May 8, includes 2,345 purchases and 1,296 sales, predominantly in individual stocks rather than broad market indexes.
Modern U.S. presidents have typically avoided individual stock trading, opting for blind trusts, index funds, or Treasury holdings to mitigate conflicts of interest. The STOCK Act of 2012 mandates disclosure but does not prohibit such trading, and no federal investigation has been announced.
The filings mark the first time a sitting president has disclosed this volume of individual securities trades while in office, drawing attention from lawmakers and the Trump administration.
