US PRESIDENT Donald Trump made more than 1,000 securities trades in June, including significant purchases of Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, Mastercard and Cintas Corporation, based on a financial disclosure published on Saturday (Aug 22).
The transactions totalled between US$78.1 million and US$263.1 million in the filing published by the US Office of Government Ethics, which showed a range for each transaction rather than exact numbers.
The largest transaction was a Jun 22 sale of between US$5 million and US$25 million of shares in a Vanguard Group exchange-traded fund.
Other transactions included buying between US$1,001 and US$15,000 of software giant Palantir on Jun 3, before selling between US$15,001 and US$50,000 on Jun 16, and between US$500,000 and US$1 million on Jun 18.
He then bought shares on Jun 23 and 24 after the US and Iran agreed to a peace deal on Jun 14.
He also bought between US$1 million and US$5 million of Berkshire Hathaway on Jun 18, and then sold a smaller amount on Jun 24. He sold between US$1 million and US$5 million of Meta on Jun 18, and later in the month bought smaller amounts.
Other companies among the transactions include Coinbase, Visa and Home Depot.
Trump made more than 21,000 securities trades in 2025, often in bursts tied to market events he created. The total value of the trades he made last year was between US$600 million and US$1.86 billion, occasionally showing buying and selling of the same security on the same day.
The White House said there are no conflicts of interest because Trump’s investments are independently managed. Trump’s son Eric, the executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, has said the assets were in a blind trust.
“All holdings are maintained in discretionary accounts and invested through computer-based model portfolios that automatically replicate recognised indices, such as the Schwab 1000,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement.
“Neither President Trump nor any member of his family has any ability to direct, influence, or provide input regarding how the portfolio is invested or when investments are bought or sold. All investment decisions are made entirely by independent managers.” BLOOMBERG
