In a month and a half, he made 189 purchases, with Trump buying $51 million in bonds, including CoreWeave bonds

Trump continued to expand his investment portfolio at the end of last year. According to the latest disclosures, Trump executed 189 buy transactions in just a month and a half, purchasing at least $51 million in municipal bonds and corporate bonds, including bonds from cloud computing service provider CoreWeave. According to the latest disclosure documents released by the White House on Thursday (January 15), these transactions occurred between November 14 and December 29 of last year. In addition to CoreWeave, the newly acquired assets also include bonds from Netflix, General Motors, Boeing, Occidental Petroleum, and United Rentals. Furthermore, the portfolio also covers municipal bonds issued by cities, school districts, utility companies, and hospitals across the United States. This is the latest example of Trump continuing to accumulate wealth during his term. Since returning to the White House in January 2025, he has completed transactions worth at least $261 million, raising further questions about potential conflicts of interest. Analysis indicates that this series of investments involves multiple industries and companies directly affected by the current government's policies, raising market concerns about the potential conflicts of interest between the president's personal finances and public office. Although the White House stated that these transactions were executed by independent managers based on index replication strategies and not decided by the president himself, some of the companies in the portfolio are at critical junctures of antitrust review or trade policy impact. Transaction Scale and Disclosure Details Bloomberg reported that this report, signed on January 14 and approved by White House ethics officials the following day, shows that Trump conducted a total of 189 buy transactions and 2 sell transactions during the aforementioned period, with the sell amount being at least $1.3 million. Since federal regulations only require reporting a broad range of values rather than exact prices, the specific transaction amounts remain unclear, but the documents indicate that the total cost of the newly purchased bonds is at least $51 million. Additionally, the president also amended an earlier report to change the value of four transactions. This disclosure further enriches Trump's extensive trading record. In August of last year, Trump reported 690 transactions since returning to the White House in January 2025, with a total value of at least $104 million. In subsequent disclosures in November and December, he reported a total of $106 million in transactions. Companies in the Portfolio and Policy Intersection The latest bond purchase list includes several companies that are closely related to federal policy activities. According to Bloomberg, Netflix is currently embroiled in a fierce competition with Paramount Global for Warner Bros., and this merger battle is seen as a significant test of the Trump administration's antitrust stance. Trump has previously stated that regardless of who wins the merger battle, he plans to personally participate in the review. Additionally, during his visit to the Ford Motor Company's Detroit plant on Tuesday, Trump specifically mentioned competitor General Motors' plan to move the production of the Chevrolet Blazer and Traverse from Mexico back to the United States, claiming this is a successful example of his tariff policy boosting domestic manufacturing. In the aviation sector, Trump has repeatedly promoted Boeing's aircraft during visits to countries such as Qatar and Japan Asset Management Structure Unlike his predecessor, Trump did not divest assets or place them in a blind trust managed by independent overseers. His vast business empire is currently managed by his two sons, and the scope of business involves multiple areas intertwined with presidential policies. In response to external doubts, a senior White House official stated during the release of a report last August that Trump and his family members did not participate in specific investment decisions. The official noted that these bond purchases were conducted by independent financial managers through a process of replicating recognized indices, and emphasized that the government ethics office had signed off on these documents. Regarding the latest disclosures, another White House official stated that the aforementioned situation still applies
