President Trump's ethics filings reveal over 3,000 stock trades in Q1 2026, including Coinbase, Robinhood, and Bitcoin miners, totaling over $100,000 in
President Donald Trump's recent ethics filings show more than 3,000 stock trades in the first quarter of 2026, including purchases of crypto-related equities like Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), and Bitcoin mining firms Marathon Digital (MARA) and CleanSpark (CLSK) [2, 3]. The filings, submitted to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, span over 100 pages and detail transactions ranging from $1,001 to $5 million [2, 4].
The largest reported crypto-linked trade was a February 10 purchase of COIN shares valued between $100,001 and $500,000, followed by another COIN purchase a month later in the $50,001 to $100,000 range [2, 3]. A March 17 purchase of HOOD shares also exceeded $100,000 [2, 3]. Trades in MARA and CLSK, which included both buys and sells, were smaller, ranging from $15,001 to $50,000 [2, 3]. These crypto-related equities represent a small portion of the overall disclosures, which were dominated by positions in large companies such as Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle [3, 4].
A spokesperson for the Trump Organization stated that President Trump, his family, and the organization play no role in selecting or approving specific investments, asserting that his investment holdings are managed by independent third-party financial institutions with sole authority over investment decisions [1, 2, 3]. Ethics officials, however, note that even knowledge of a portfolio's contents could influence a president's policy decisions [1]. U.S. law prohibits federal employees from holding financial assets impacted by their policy work, but presidents are exempt [1].
The disclosures arrive as the Clarity Act, a significant piece of crypto legislation, passed the Senate Banking Committee without a firm deal on ethics language regarding the president's personal crypto ventures [2, 3]. The filings add further detail to the financial exposure to the crypto sector at the highest levels of the current administration [3].
