U.S. Office of Government Ethics disclosure documents have shown that trusts linked to President Donald Trump’s family bought shares of several crypto-related companies during the first quarter of 2026, adding digital asset exposure during a period of heavy securities trading. The filings , released Thursday, cover transactions from January through March and show total reported transaction values ranging from at least $220 million to roughly $750 million. The disclosures list values in broad ranges and do not provide exact trade prices, dates, profits, or the accounts used for each transaction. Among the crypto-linked purchases were securities tied to Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings, crypto exchange Coinbase Global, Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy, Robinhood Markets, SoFi Technologies, and Block Inc. The documents state that Trump’s assets are held in a trust controlled by his children, while some transactions indicate that a broker acted as an agent. The filings do not specify whether each trade involved common stock, corporate bonds or another type of security. The White House referred questions to the Trump Organization, while an attorney for the company did not immediately respond to requests for comment, according to the reports. Donald Trump Trusts Add Crypto-Linked Equities The reported purchase of MARA shares placed one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining firms among the crypto-related names listed in the disclosures. MARA’s business is closely tied to Bitcoin mining economics, power costs, treasury strategy and digital asset market conditions. Coinbase, another reported purchase, gives exposure to U.S. crypto trading, custody and institutional market infrastructure. The company has also been active in policy debates around digital asset regulation. Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is one of the largest public corporate holders of Bitcoin. Its stock often trades as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure because of its large BTC treasury. Robinhood and SoFi offer consumer-facing financial products, including crypto trading in certain markets. Block, led by Jack Dorsey, has long been tied to Bitcoin through payments, wallet development and digital asset-related services. Together, the listed names show exposure across several parts of the crypto equity market, including mining, exchange infrastructure, Bitcoin treasury holdings, brokerage platforms and payments. Filings Show Broad Trading Activity The crypto-related purchases were part of a larger set of reported trades involving major U.S. companies. The disclosures included securities linked to Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Oracle, Broadcom, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs, along with municipal bonds. Some individual purchases were valued between $1 million and $5 million each, including an S&P 500 index fund, Nvidia, and Apple. The filings also listed large sales ranging from $5 million to $25 million each in companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Meta. Federal ethics rules require public officials to disclose transactions above $1,000, but the forms use broad value bands. That means the filings do not show exact amounts, execution prices, timing within the quarter, or whether trades were made directly by a trust manager, broker, or managed account. The president’s annual financial disclosure, expected later, is set to provide a wider view of business assets and income. That filing may include details on other areas such as real estate, golf properties and crypto-related ventures. Crypto Policy Debate Adds Context The disclosures arrive as Washington continues debating federal rules for digital assets. The Senate Banking Committee recently advanced the CLARITY Act, a crypto market structure bill aimed at dividing oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Some Democratic lawmakers have called for ethics language covering elected officials and their families who hold or promote digital assets. The issue became part of the wider debate around crypto legislation after reports that Trump and his family had exposure to several crypto-related projects. Eric Trump has also discussed digital assets at the Consensus conference, saying his family had faced restrictions from traditional banks. He described crypto as a way to reduce intermediary fees and support decentralized access to financial services.
