Trump's June financial disclosures show over 1,000 transactions, including defense stocks

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's financial activities in June involved a flurry of over 1,000 transactions across stocks, bonds, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies, with a total value ranging from $78.1 million to $263.1 million. The filings indicate that purchases of securities exceeded $49 million, while sales amounted to at least $28.5 million, though exact figures are presented in broad ranges due to federal regulations.

Key transactions included the purchase of Berkshire Hathaway stock on June 18 for $1 million to $5 million, followed by the sale of a smaller portion of those shares days later. Trump also sold Meta shares valued between $1 million and $5 million on the same day, later acquiring smaller stakes. Other companies involved in his trades during June included Coinbase, Visa, and Home Depot.

The timing of these transactions coincided with market fluctuations. On June 17, U.S. stock indices dipped amid investor concerns about monetary policy ahead of the Federal Reserve's first meeting under its new chair. However, markets recovered the following day, when Trump made several of his noted purchases.

Trump also engaged in trading within the defense sector. He bought shares in Palantir Technologies on June 3 and sold portions on June 16 and June 18. Additionally, he acquired RTX shares on June 12 while divesting a small amount of Northrop Grumman stock, only to buy more of the latter on June 23 and sell it the next day. A White House spokesperson previously stated that Trump's assets are held in a trust managed by his children, asserting no conflict of interest.
