President Donald Trump disclosed thousands of financial transactions for the first quarter of 2026 with a total value of at least $220 million (and as much as $750 million), including those involving securities from major media and tech companies.
The reports, released May 14, reveal that Trump bought at least $571,000 of securities in Netflix during the time period, and sold Netflix securities worth at least $1.3 million.
Trump also purchased at least $1.08 million in Comcast securities, as well as at least $30,000 in Warner Bros. Discovery and $15,000 in Paramount Skydance, according to the disclosure forms. The president bought at least $364,000 of Disney securities and sold at least $1.1 million. He purchased at least $45,000 worth of Fox Corp. securities and sold at least $30,000.
In addition to Trump’s transactions involving media companies, he also engaged in large purchases of securities of tech companies, including purchases (valued at between $1 million and $5 million each) of Apple and Nvidia. He also reported sales of between $5 million and $25 million for Microsoft, Amazon and Meta securities. The disclosures also reveals purchases of securities for Oracle, Broadcom, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, as well as trades in municipal bonds.
The White House referred inquiries about the disclosures to the Trump Organization; an attorney for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment, Reuters reported.
Previously, the White House has stated that Trump’s financial portfolio is independently managed by third-party financial institutions and that “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.”
The president’s financial-disclosure reports, which are required under federal ethics rules, cover transactions for the first three months of 2026.
