United States President Donald Trump filed with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) two financial disclosure forms documenting at least $220 million in transactions during the first quarter of 2026, highlighting the notable presence of crypto-linked companies among the declared assets.
The forms cover 3,642 transactions distributed across approximately 2,000 issuers. Among them, around 50 transactions correspond to eight companies in the crypto ecosystem: Coinbase Global, Robinhood Markets, Block, PayPal Holdings, CME Group, Strategy, MARA Holdings and CleanSpark. The disclosure attributes the transactions to the filer, his spouse and dependent children.
The Trump Family in the Crypto World
Coinbase accounts for the largest share of declared activity within the crypto market, with eight transactions recorded between January and March 2026. The transactions include six purchases and two sales executed in February and March, with value ranges spanning from $1,001–$15,000 to $100,001–$250,000 per transaction.
In aggregate terms, transactions linked to crypto companies represented between $1.5 million and $3.8 million of the total disclosed; the estimated midpoint is $2.7 million. The figure is marginal relative to the total reported volume, which Reuters placed in a range of between $220 million and $750 million. Among the largest transactions are purchases in an S&P 500 index fund, Nvidia and Apple, as well as sales of between $5 million and $25 million in Microsoft, Amazon and Meta Platforms.
A Trump Organization spokesperson clarified that the president’s assets are managed through discretionary accounts handled by third parties, with no involvement from the president, his family or the organization in any investment decision.
Political Costs
Several members of the Trump family were linked to token sales from World Liberty Financial totaling approximately $1.55 billion, transactions that reportedly increased their combined net worth by around $660 million. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren warned this week that the CLARITY Act could deepen the conflicts of interest stemming from the family’s crypto business dealings, and demanded that no legislative proposal advance without stricter ethical safeguards.
