Trump Made Over 1,000 Stock Trades in June: Here’s What He Bought and Sold

 Trump Made Over 1,000 Trades in June: What Did His Portfolio Buy and Sell?


President Donald Trump’s investment accounts reported more than 1,000 securities transactions in June 2026, revealing a major reshuffling across ETFs, blue-chip stocks, technology companies, defense contractors and crypto-related investments.


According to financial disclosure records released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, the transactions were reported in ranges totaling approximately $78.1 million to $263.1 million.


Because federal financial disclosures report transaction ranges rather than exact dollar amounts, the precise value of the trades is not publicly known.


A Major Vanguard ETF Sale


One of the largest transactions disclosed occurred on June 22, when Trump’s portfolio sold between $5 million and $25 million of a Vanguard exchange-traded fund.


The portfolio was also actively building positions in major U.S. companies.


Among the notable purchases were shares of Home Depot, while other large investments during the month included Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, Mastercard and Cintas.


Berkshire Hathaway, Visa and Mastercard


June 18 was an especially active trading day.


Trump’s accounts disclosed purchases of between $1 million and $5 million in Berkshire Hathaway.


Significant investments were also made in financial giants Visa and Mastercard, suggesting increased exposure to established, cash-generating U.S. businesses.


At the same time, the portfolio sold between $1 million and $5 million of Meta Platforms shares and also reduced its position in Motorola Solutions.


The combination of these transactions appears to show a significant rotation within the portfolio rather than a simple move into or out of the stock market.


Palantir Was Bought, Sold — and Bought Again


One of the most interesting stocks in the disclosure was Palantir Technologies (PLTR).


The portfolio purchased between $1,001 and $15,000 of Palantir on June 3.


It then reported sales of between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 16 and between $500,000 and $1 million on June 18.


Later in June, Palantir shares appeared in the portfolio’s purchases again.


The repeated transactions attracted attention because Palantir is a major technology and data analytics company with extensive U.S. government and defense-related business.


Defense Stocks Were Also Active


Trump’s investment accounts also traded several major defense contractors during June.


The disclosure included transactions involving RTX, formerly Raytheon Technologies, as well as Northrop Grumman.


These companies have been closely watched by investors amid continued geopolitical uncertainty and rising global defense spending.


The presence of both technology and defense stocks in the disclosure makes this portion of the portfolio particularly noteworthy.


Coinbase and Crypto Exposure


Crypto-related investments were not left out.


Trump’s accounts disclosed several transactions involving Coinbase Global (COIN), one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the United States.


Coinbase shares were sold during June before another purchase was reported later in the month.


The activity comes as cryptocurrency remains an increasingly important part of both financial markets and the broader political debate over digital-asset regulation in the United States.


More Than 1,000 Trades in a Single Month


Perhaps the biggest story is not any individual stock.


It is the sheer number of transactions.


More than 1,000 securities trades were disclosed for June alone, spanning stocks, ETFs and other investments.


That level of activity has naturally raised questions about potential conflicts of interest involving the investment portfolio of a sitting U.S. president.


What Does the White House Say?


The White House says Trump does not personally direct the individual trades.


According to the administration, the investments are independently managed through discretionary accounts and computer-based investment strategies.


The White House has therefore rejected suggestions that the transactions represent investment decisions personally made by the president.


That distinction is important: the financial disclosure shows transactions associated with Trump’s investment accounts, but it does not establish that Trump personally selected the stocks or determined when they should be bought or sold.


What Investors Should Watch


The disclosure nevertheless provides a fascinating look at how one of America’s most closely watched investment portfolios changed during June.


Among the most notable names appearing in the transactions were:


Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)

Visa (V)

Mastercard (MA)

Home Depot (HD)

Meta Platforms (META)

Palantir Technologies (PLTR)

Coinbase Global (COIN)

RTX (RTX)

Northrop Grumman (NOC)

Cintas (CTAS)


For investors, the bigger question may be whether these transactions represent ordinary portfolio rebalancing by independent managers — or whether some of the changes offer clues about where large professionally managed portfolios see opportunity in the current market.


Either way, with more than 1,000 transactions disclosed in just one month, Trump’s investment portfolio is likely to remain closely watched on Wall Street.
