President Donald Trump disclosed a purchase of Strategy shares valued between $50,001 and $100,000 on July 27, following a smaller $1,001 to $15,000 purchase three days earlier, according to a US Office of Government Ethics filing released Tuesday. The filing also shows Trump’s transactions in other crypto‑linked companies, including a Coinbase stock purchase and sales of Bitcoin miners MARA Holdings and CleanSpark during the same month.
Strategy, described as the world’s largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, holds approximately 846,000 BTC based on data from BitcoinTreasuries.net. The July 27 purchase matched the size of a previously disclosed Strategy acquisition made on February 12, which also fell in the $50,001–$100,000 range. Trump’s accounts have recorded several additional smaller purchases and sales of Strategy shares earlier this year.
The ethics filing does not indicate how many Strategy shares remain in Trump’s portfolio, as transactions are reported in value ranges rather than as a running share balance. The Strategy purchase represented a modest portion of Trump’s broader July portfolio activity, which included sales of $5 million to $25 million each of Microsoft and Amazon stocks on July 20, along with multiple purchases and sales valued between $1 million and $5 million.
The White House told CNBC that Trump’s stock and bond portfolio is independently managed by third‑party financial institutions, without direct input from the president or his family. Meanwhile, Strategy’s shares have risen nearly 30% over the past five trading days and about 37% over the past month, according to Yahoo Finance data.
The disclosure coincides with the administration’s push to support the US crypto industry. Although the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act on September 15, federal regulators have acted using existing authority. The SEC cleared limited on‑chain trading of tokenized US stocks under a temporary exemption two days after the cloture vote, while the CFTC eased registration requirements for certain software providers offering access to regulated derivatives markets. The CFTC also submitted a broader crypto market rulemaking initiative for White House review on September 17, still in preliminary stages. Additionally, the House Financial Services Committee voted to advance legislation that would codify Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into law, requiring a minimum 20‑year holding period for any Bitcoin placed in the reserve. The US government currently holds an estimated 324,527 BTC, per Arkham Intelligence data.
