Donald Trump bought up to $1.4bn in stocks last year, according to an FT analysis, boosting his personal holdings in a string of big US companies while he moved markets from the White House.
The series of financial disclosures released this week show the extent of the billionaire president’s gains in his personal fortune during his first year back in the White House, as he launched a global trade war, signed into law massive tax cuts and attacked Iran. The president disclosed at least $2.2bn in outside income last year from crypto ventures, real estate, licensing, legal settlements and stock sales, the documents show.
Trump declared making more than 22,000 stock transactions in 2025, according to the FT analysis. His immediate predecessor, Joe Biden, made 13 transactions over four years. In his first term, Trump made 517.
