The transaction was among more than 1,000 stock trades made by Trump in June. It also included sizable investments in **Berkshire Hathaway** (NYSE:BRK) (NYSE:BRK), **Visa Inc.** (NYSE:V), **Mastercard Inc.** (NYSE:MA) and **Cintas** (NASDAQ:CTAS). The purchase came just 11 days after SpaceX completed the biggest-ever U.S. initial public offering. The June 12 IPO valued the space, satellite and artificial intelligence company at about $1.77 trillion. Federal disclosures use investment-value ranges, so the precise amount Trump invested remains unclear. **Read Also: Elon Musk Denies SpaceX Sought to Buy AI Startup Cognition, Says Talks Only Centered on Grok** The disclosure also shows sales of **Nvidia Corp** (NASDAQ:NVDA), **Apple Inc.** (NASDAQ:AAPL), **Broadcom Inc.** (NASDAQ:AVGO), **Amazon.com, Inc.** (NASDAQ:AMZN) and **Tesla Inc.** (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares in June 2026, with transaction values ranging from $15,001 to $250,000. | Description | Type | Date | Notification Received Over 30 Days Ago | Amount | | --------------- | ---- | ------------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------------- | | Nvidia Corp. | Sale | June 23, 2026 | No | $15,001–$50,000 | | Apple Inc. | Sale | June 23, 2026 | No | $50,001–$100,000 | | Broadcom Inc. | Sale | June 2, 2026 | Yes | $100,001–$250,000 | | Amazon.com Inc. | Sale | June 12, 2026 | Yes | $100,001–$250,000 | | Tesla Inc. | Sale | June 12, 2026 | Yes | $15,001–$50,000 | ## **SpaceX Investment Creates Potential Conflict Questions** SpaceX is a major U.S. military contractor that regularly seeks approvals from federal agencies. Last week, Trump signed a memorandum aimed at dramatically increasing U.S. commercial space launches, with a goal of reaching at least 1,000 launches and re-entries annually by 2030. SpaceX is a dominant player in the commercial launch market. SpaceX reported second-quarter revenue of $7.81 billion. This 92% year-over-year increase topped the $6.93 billion Street consensus, while its loss of 9 cents per share was narrower than analysts’ estimate of a 24-cent loss. ## **White House Says Trump Does Not Control Trades** The White House told Reuters that third-party financial institutions independently manage Trump’s portfolio and use strategies designed to track recognized indexes. White House spokesman **Davis Ingle** said neither Trump nor his family can direct, influence or provide input on investment decisions. **Price Action:** SpaceX closed at $135 on Monday, down 1.44%. The shares gained 17.32% over the past month, according to Benzinga Pro. According to **Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings**, SpaceX continues to show a negative price trend across the short-, medium- and long-term periods. ***Disclaimer:*** *This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.* **Read Also: Elon Musk Says SPCX Could Make History in the ‘Next Few Months’ With First-Ever Starship Tower Catch** *Photo Courtesy: Joey Sussman on Shutterstock.com* ### Related Stocks - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSL.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [TSLG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLG.US.md) - [TSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [TSLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TSLZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLZ.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [TESL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TESL.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [07766.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [SPCX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPCX.US.md) - [SPCH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPCH.US.md) - [SPCF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPCF.US.md) - [SPAL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPAL.US.md) - [SNK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SNK.US.md) - [SSPC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSPC.US.md) - [SPCU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPCU.US.md) - [LOFF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LOFF.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [DIPS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DIPS.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [TSLI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLI.US.md) - [TSLO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLO.US.md) - [TSLR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) - [TSLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLS.US.md) - [TSLW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLW.US.md) - [TSLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLY.US.md) - [TSYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSYY.US.md) - [TYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TYYY.US.md) - [CRSH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRSH.US.md) - [TSLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLT.US.md) - [TSLP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLP.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [09388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09388.HK.md) - [09366.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09366.HK.md) - [BRK.A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRK.A.US.md) - [BRK.B.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRK.B.US.md) - [V.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/V.US.md) - [MA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MA.US.md) - [CTAS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CTAS.US.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [AVGO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGO.US.md) - [AMZN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZN.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [Elon Musk Reveals Why SpaceX Launched Tesla’s Roadster Into Orbit: ‘We Didn’t Want to Risk Anything Valuable’](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296875450.md) - [Nvidia Q2 Preview: Strong Earnings and Low Valuation Set the Stage for Upside](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296688005.md) - [Trump bought shares in Elon Musk's SpaceX in June, financial disclosure shows](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296815446.md) - [New Trump memo targets orbit launch explosion amid escalating space race](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296618880.md) - [SpaceX and a new Trump order that could rewrite the next decade of launches](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296670980.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
