United States President Donald Trump disclosed roughly 3,600 stock transactions in a single periodic filing submitted to the United States Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on May 8, 2026.

President Trump’s largest disclosed sales ranged from $5 million to $25 million, according to a filing analyzed by Finbold on May 14. Some of the top sales included Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: VOO), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META).

On the other hand, some of Trump’s largest disclosed stock purchases ranged from $1 million to $5 million. Among his top stock purchases reported for 2026 were Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL), Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL).

The United States President made significant bets on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure. Meanwhile, Trump reduced his investments in consumer-focused stocks and social media technology.

Nonetheless, the filing revealed that his portfolio was actively managed as he sold and bought MSFT and AMZN. Moreover, most of the largest single trades were labeled as “unsolicited,” meaning the broker initiated them without specific instruction from the President.

Is President Trump market manipulating?

Among the top purchases for President Trump, their management teams accompanied him to China. Earlier on Thursday, the United States cleared 10 Chinese firms – including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA), ByteDance Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd. (OTCMKTS: TCEHY), JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ: JD) – to buy Nvidia’s second-most powerful AI chip, the H200.

With NVDA stock rising on the news, President Trump could be scrutinized for potential insider trading. Furthermore, the White House has been accused of insider trading, as Finbold reported.
