Since late August, Trump has purchased at least $82 million worth of bonds, according to disclosures.

According to financial reports released on Saturday, US President Donald Trump purchased at least $82 million in corporate and municipal bonds between late August and early October, including new investments in industries that might profit from his policies.

From August 28 to October 2, Trump made more than 175 financial acquisitions, according to documents made public by the US Office of Government Ethics. The Ethics in Government Act, a 1978 transparency statute, requires the disclosures, which only give a general range of sums for each purchase rather than the precise amounts.

According to the documents, the bond purchases had a maximum total value of about $337 million.

Bonds issued by counties, municipalities, states, school districts, and other organisations with connections to public bodies make up the majority of the assets disclosed on Saturday.

Trump’s new bond investments include a wide range of companies, including those that have profited from or are now benefiting from the policy changes implemented by his administration, such as financial deregulation.

Trump has purchased corporate bonds from Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, chipmakers like Broadcom and Qualcomm, tech firms like Meta Platforms, and retailers like Home Depot and CVS Health.

In late August, JP Morgan bonds were among the investment banks’ debt purchases. Trump requested Friday that the US Justice Department look into JP Morgan’s connections to convicted sex offender and late businessman Jeffrey Epstein. The bank has expressed regret for its previous relationship with Epstein and denied aiding him in his “heinous acts.”

Following the US government’s acquisition of a share in Intel at Trump’s insistence, Trump also purchased Intel bonds.

A Saturday request for comment was not immediately answered by the White House. Trump has continued to make required reports about his interests, according to the administration, but neither he nor his family are involved in managing the portfolio, which is overseen by a third-party financial firm.

Trump, who made his fortune in real estate before going into politics, has previously stated that he put his businesses in a trust that his kids would manage.

Since taking office again on January 20, Trump has bought almost $100 million worth of bonds, according to a disclosure filed in August. Concerns about possible conflicts of interest were again raised when Trump filed his yearly disclosure form in June, revealing that he still receives the majority of the money from his many endeavours.

Trump disclosed more than $600 million in revenue from cryptocurrency, golf properties, licensing, and other endeavours in that yearly declaration, which seemed to span the 2024 calendar year. It also demonstrated how Trump’s foray into cryptocurrency had significantly increased his wealth.

According to a Reuters calculation at the time, the president’s June statement revealed assets of at least $1.6 billion.
