Donald Trump’s family trust bought shares in several bitcoin-related companies during the first quarter of 2026, according to financial disclosures filed with the US Office of Government Ethics. These moves come as his administration is developing a more supportive stance on digital assets.
The filing, which comes with two Form 278-T reports, shows more than 3,600 transactions between January and March with values ranging from $220 million to $750 million. Much of the work has focused on large technology firms, banks, and index funds, however a set of targeted purchases tied to the crypto sector has raised new ethical questions.
The disclosure reveals nine purchases of Coinbase stock, with the largest transaction on Feb. 10 estimated between $100,001 and $250,000. Coinbase stands as a major US-based crypto exchange and plays an important role in retail and institutional infrastructure.
The trust reported two small purchases of MARA Holdings, one of the largest public Bitcoin mining companies, and a trade in Strategy, a company known for holding a large Bitcoin fund. Strategic stocks tend to move in tandem with Bitcoin price changes, making the stock a proxy for crypto exposure in equity markets.
The filing shows eight transactions involving Strategy Class A shares, including both buying and selling. The largest purchases were between $50,001 and $100,000, while January sales topped $50,000. A mix of buying and selling suggests active rather than passive management.
Beyond those names, the trust disclosed positions in other crypto-linked or fintech companies, including Robinhood, SoFi Technologies, and Block. These companies connect to digital assets through trading platforms, payments, or blockchain systems.
Trump’s broad portfolio
Crypto-related transactions represent a small part of a wider portfolio, which includes large positions in Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Boeing, with individual transactions reaching $5 million. The filing shows strong gains in all of those holdings following the market’s decline after a sell-off in March fueled by political tensions.
The documents do not say Trump directed any trade. His assets are in a family trust managed by his sons and foreign investors. Ethics laws require disclosure of activities but do not prohibit a sitting president from holding or trading stocks.
The disclosure of Trump-linked purchases came as the Senate Banking Committee advanced the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act by a 15-9 vote, and Democratic Sens. Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks have joined the Republicans to submit a bill to structure the growing crypto market despite strong opposition from Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats regarding consumer protection, illegality concerns and anti-Trump.
The marks exposed a growing Democratic divide on crypto policy, as the bipartisan bloc backed key DeFi language while progressive lawmakers warned the bill created loopholes that could weaken the use of funds and securities.
