Trump Logs 3,642 Stock Trades in Q1 2026, Breaking Blind Trust Norms

President Donald Trump executed 3,642 stock trades during the first quarter of 2026, as revealed by a 113-page OGE Form 278-T disclosure released this week. This marks a significant departure from the blind-trust practices traditionally followed by U.S. presidents since Lyndon B. Johnson, according to BeInCrypto. The trades include purchases of Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom, Amazon, and Apple, each valued between $1 million and $5 million. The disclosure has intensified debates over executive-branch trading rules, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent advocating for a ban on congressional stock trading.
