President Donald Trump disclosed first-quarter 2026 securities trades involving several crypto-linked public companies, including Coinbase Global, Robinhood Markets, Strategy and Bitcoin mining stocks, as new ethics filings released Thursday showed broader trading activity across thousands of transactions.
The disclosures covered securities transactions tied to Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and dependent children, rather than assigning each trade to one specific family member. One Office of Government Ethics Form 278 filing listed 3,642 total transactions across roughly 2,000 issuers, while the broader filing materials showed more than 3,000 securities trades across more than 100 pages.
Crypto-linked equity activity involved Coinbase Global, Robinhood Markets, Block, PayPal Holdings, CME Group, Strategy, MARA Holdings and CleanSpark. Around 50 transactions were tied to those names, with disclosed value estimated between $1.5 million and $3.8 million and a midpoint of about $2.7 million.
Coinbase and Robinhood Led Crypto-Linked Activity
Coinbase was the most prominent crypto-linked company in the filing, with eight trades between January and March 2026. The activity included six purchases and two sales across February and March, with purchase ranges running from $1,001–$15,000 up to $100,001–$250,000.
The filing required securities transactions above $1,000 to be reported within 30 days of notice and no later than 45 days after the transaction. The disclosed ranges, rather than exact dollar amounts, ran from $1,001–$15,000 to $1 million–$5 million in highlighted trade brackets.
The largest securities trades were not crypto-linked. Large purchases of an S&P 500 index fund, Nvidia and Apple were valued at $1 million–$5 million each, while large sales of Microsoft, Amazon and Meta Platforms were valued at $5 million–$25 million each. Other notable non-crypto purchases included Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle and Boeing.

Trump Organization Says Accounts Were Discretionary
The Trump Organization said the reported trades were handled through independent investment management. A spokesperson said the holdings were “maintained exclusively through fully discretionary accounts” managed by third-party financial institutions.
The spokesperson added that neither President Trump, his family nor the Trump Organization plays a role in selecting, directing or approving specific investments. President Trump was also assessed and paid a late fee tied to the more than 100 pages of reported transactions.
The disclosures came as Trump family crypto ties were already under scrutiny. Prior reporting linked family members to about $1.55 billion in World Liberty Financial token sales that lifted their combined fortune by roughly $660 million, while earlier scrutiny said Trump family crypto activity had generated more than $1 billion in crypto profits by October 2025.
The filings also landed during Washington debate over crypto ethics language, where limits on the President’s personal crypto ventures had been a key tension point in the CLARITY Act debate. The CLARITY Act passed the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday despite no firm deal on ethics language.
Senator Elizabeth Warren said in a Tuesday post on X that the CLARITY Act could raise conflict-of-interest concerns tied to Trump family crypto businesses and argued that no bill should advance without stronger ethical guardrails.
