Trump buys over $100M bonds since taking office

US President Donald Trump purchased more than $100 million worth of corporate and municipal bonds since returning to the White House in January 2025, according to new filings from the Office of Government Ethics. 

The documents, released late Tuesday night, showed that Trump began the bond-buying spree one day after being sworn in on Jan. 20 and include debt sold by companies, local governments and entities that could be directly impacted by his sweeping agenda.

All said, Trump made about 690 purchases from Jan. 21 through Aug. 1.

The filings do not provide exact purchase amounts but instead indicated a broad dollar range for each transaction. The filings did not show any sales by Trump.

Trump’s buying continued at a steady clip for months, including bonds from corporates such as chipmaker Qualcomm, mobile provider T-Mobile USA, Home Depot and UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest private health insurance firm.

Other debt purchases include various bonds issued by cities, states, counties and school districts as well as gas districts, and other issuers.

The holdings cover areas that could benefit from US policy shifts under his administration. Trump previously revealed that he has put his companies into a trust managed by his children.
