Federal ethics filings have revealed that President Donald Trump and members of his administration traded heavily in crypto-related stocks during the first quarter of 2026, while simultaneously advancing pro-crypto policy from the White House.

What the Filings Show

The disclosures were filed on Form 278-T documents, which government officials are required to use to report securities transactions above $1,000. More than 2,000 individual trades were listed for the January through March 2026 period.

The filings do not show exact dollar amounts. Instead, they report ranges, and they do not disclose profits, losses, or who actually executed the trades.

Total trading volume across the quarter fell between $220 million and $750 million. Trump’s assets are held in a family trust managed by his children. Some of the reported trades appear to have been made by brokers, not Trump personally.

Among the crypto-related stocks listed were Coinbase, MARA Holdings, and Strategy. Nine separate Coinbase purchases were recorded. One transaction dated February 10 was valued between $100,001 and $250,000.

Two purchases of MARA stock were disclosed, each valued under $50,000. Eight Strategy transactions were reported in January and February, including both buys and sells. One Strategy purchase on February 12 was valued between $50,001 and $100,000.

Other companies that appeared in the filings include Robinhood, SoFi Technologies, and Block, though the exact value ranges for those trades were not made public.

The crypto-related trades made up a small share of the overall disclosures. The filing also included large trades in companies like Microsoft, Oracle, and Nvidia.

Administration-Wide Crypto Holdings

A Washington Post analysis of financial disclosure documents found that nearly 70 Trump administration officials and nominees collectively hold at least $193 million in crypto and blockchain-linked assets.

Trump himself reported a personal stake of at least $51 million in digital assets. Vice President JD Vance disclosed between $250,000 and $500,000 in Bitcoin. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. listed between $1 million and $5 million. Ken Howery, nominated as ambassador to Denmark, topped the list with at least $122 million in digital assets.

Because filings use ranges rather than exact figures, the actual total is likely higher.

Trump’s family business holds a majority stake in World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture that has become one of his top income sources. The TRUMP meme token, launched in January 2025, briefly reached a market cap of around $8.7 billion before losing most of its value.

Policy Actions Since Taking Office

Since his inauguration, Trump has signed an executive order banning a U.S. central bank digital currency. He also established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, consolidating over 328,000 BTC across federal agencies, currently worth approximately $26 billion.

The SEC was directed to drop or pause litigation against more than a dozen crypto firms, a sharp reversal from the Biden administration’s enforcement approach following the FTX collapse in 2022.

Several officials with crypto holdings also hold regulatory authority over the digital asset industry. Bill Pulte, who heads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, recently directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin counting crypto as assets in loan-risk assessments.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard both stated they divested their crypto holdings before or shortly after taking office.
