A Look at Trump's Stock Transactions: Sells Meta, Buys Visa and Mastercard

President Donald Trump disclosed more than 1,000 financial transactions during June 2026 in a report showing a major overhaul of his investment portfolio.

Throughout the month, Trump rotated investments in and out of stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds (ETF). The total value of these transactions ranged from US$78.1 million to US$263.1 million, based on Trump’s latest report released on 22 August. The report only lists value ranges for each purchase or sale transaction, not exact figures.

Trump’s total securities purchases reached more than US$49 million, while his total sales reached at least US$28.5 million.

Although the report provides a picture of investment activity carried out on Trump’s behalf, the document does not clearly show the overall holdings of his portfolio.

The value of purchases and sales is not specified in detail, and there is no information on the amount of Trump’s holdings in each security.

Of the total 1,051 transactions reported, the largest transaction was the sale of shares worth US$5 million to US$25 million in the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF (VIG) on 22 June.

On the same day, Trump bought shares worth US$1 million to US$5 million each in Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) and Home Depot (HD). These purchases were the largest of a number of purchase transactions for the two stocks during June, although Trump was also recorded as having made several sales of Fidelity shares.

On 18 June, Trump sold shares worth US$1 million to US$5 million each in Meta (META) and Motorola Solutions (MSI). However, on the same day, he bought shares of the same value in Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), Cintas (CTAS), Visa (V), and Mastercard (MA).

The move came a day after the stock market experienced a sell-off due to concerns about the direction of monetary policy. 17 June marked the end of the first meeting of Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh. A day later, the stock market bounced back.

In addition to individual stocks, Trump also bought a number of ETFs throughout June, including the iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT), Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK), and iShares GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll Strategy ETF (COMT). Trump also bought several municipal bonds.

Meanwhile, his sale transactions included the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF (BSV), Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY), and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK).

Most of these ETF transactions were worth between US$1 million and US$5 million. In total, there were 25 purchase and sale transactions of stocks, bonds, and ETFs in that value range. The rest were in the category of transactions worth US$1 million and below.

Reporting rules only require Trump to disclose securities transactions whose value exceeds US$1,000.

Trump was also actively trading shares of defence contractor Palantir Technologies (PLTR). He bought shares in the company worth US$1,001 to US$15,000 on 3 June.

He then sold shares worth US$15,001 to US$50,000 on 16 June and again sold shares worth US$500,001 to US$1 million on 18 June. Previously, the United States and Iran reached a peace agreement on 14 June. Trump again bought Palantir shares in small amounts on 23 June.

Two other defence companies, namely RTX (RTX) and Northrop Grumman (NOC), were also listed in the report.

Trump bought RTX shares worth US$100,001 to US$250,000 on 12 June and sold Northrop Grumman shares worth US$1,001 to US$15,000 on the same day. He then bought back Northrop Grumman shares on 23 June and sold them again a day later.

Trump also carried out buy and sell transactions of Coinbase (COIN) shares throughout the month amid the decline in Bitcoin prices.

He sold Coinbase shares worth between US$116,003 and US$315,000 during the period 12 to 23 June, then bought back shares in the company worth US$50,001 to US$100,000 on 24 June.

The White House has not yet responded to a request for comment regarding the report.

In May, White House spokesman Davis Ingle told CNBC International, after Trump disclosed his first quarter transactions, that all of the president’s assets were placed in a trust managed by his children.

“There is no conflict of interest,” Ingle said.

“President Trump is only acting in the best interests of the American people. That is why the people convincingly re-elected him, even though for years he and his businesses have been the target of lies and false accusations from the fake news media,” he added.
