Donald Trump's federal financial-disclosure reports, released May 14, list thousands of first-quarter transactions with a total value of at least $220 million and as much as $750 million, including securities in major media, technology and crypto-linked companies. The filings, required under federal ethics rules, cover the first three months of 2026.
What did the filings show? Trump bought at least $571,000 of Netflix securities and sold at least $1.3 million, along with purchases in Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Skydance, Disney and Fox Corp., in disclosure forms reviewed by Variety. The reports also list purchases valued between $1 million and $5 million each in Apple and Nvidia, sales of $5 million to $25 million in Microsoft, Amazon and Meta, and trades in Oracle, Broadcom, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and municipal bonds. The president's media holdings drew particular attention because several of the companies have business before federal regulators, the Variety report said.
What were the crypto-related trades? The disclosure shows purchases tied to Coinbase, 
Michael Saylor's Strategy and miner MARA, The Block reported, with the largest Coinbase-related transaction a Feb. 10 purchase valued between $100,001 and $250,000. The trust executed the digital-asset purchases even as the administration pushed sweeping pro-cryptocurrency regulatory changes during the same quarter, CryptoSlate reported.
How has the White House responded? Inquiries were referred to the Trump Organization, whose attorney did not immediately respond, the filing coverage said. The White House has previously said the portfolio is independently managed by third-party institutions and that neither the president nor his family can direct how investments are bought or sold.
