The documents, published online this Tuesday, indicate that the Republican former real estate tycoon has made more than 600 financial transactions since January 21, the day following his inauguration for a second presidential term.
According to the August 12 filing from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, the exact amounts of each bond purchase are not specified, but broad value ranges are provided.
The investments include corporate bonds from major firms such as Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo. Other purchases cover bonds from companies like Meta, Qualcomm, The Home Depot, T-Mobile USA, and UnitedHealth Group.
Additionally, Trump’s bond portfolio includes debt issued by local governments, cities, states, counties, and school districts—as well as bonds from gas districts and other issuers.
These holdings span sectors likely to benefit from policy changes under his leadership, particularly financial deregulation efforts.
A White House spokesperson declined immediate comment on the disclosures.
Donald Trump, who transitioned from businessman to president, has stated that his business interests are held in a trust controlled by his children.
However, his latest financial disclosure from June reveals that income from his ventures still flows back to him personally, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
The June disclosure, covering the 2024 calendar year, reported more than $600 million earned from cryptocurrencies, golf courses, licensing deals, and other business activities.
It also highlighted how Trump’s involvement in cryptocurrency has significantly increased his net worth. Overall, the president declared assets valued at a minimum of $1.6 billion.
