Trump adds Coinbase and Bitcoin stocks to his portfolio

Broader tech allocations in the same filing show a parallel bet on AI and infrastructure alongside crypto-related assets.

A federal financial disclosure filed by Donald Trump on May 14 shows that his portfolio purchased shares of MARA Holdings, Coinbase and Strategy between January and March 2026.

Of more than 3,600 transactions listed across 113 pages, these three were the only crypto-related names in the entire filing.

What the file actually shows

The document in question is an OGE Form 278-T, the type of periodic transaction report that senior officials are required to file, with the MARA purchase appearing on line 1106, dated March 30, 2026, in the range of $15,001 to $50,000.

Normally, the form does not disclose the exact amounts of individual transactions, only tranches. Additionally, the filing indicates that the holdings are managed by a third-party financial institution, not by Trump directly, which is important when reading the selections.

This caveat aside, the composition of crypto tranches deserves attention. MARA Holdings is the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner in the United States by market capitalization. Coinbase is the dominant crypto exchange in the United States and one of the few crypto companies with a long trading history as a public company. Strategy holds more Bitcoin on its balance sheet than any other publicly traded company.

These are not obscure picks, but rather three of the most recognizable institutional proxies for Bitcoin exposure available on US exchanges.

The Trump family also bought stock in Nvidia, whose CEO, Jensen Huang, was part of the entourage that accompanied the president on his first visit to China since 2017. Records also show they have invested in Microsoft, Oracle and Boeing, spending between $1 million and $5 million on those stocks.

Trump-Linked Crypto Firms Under Scrutiny

The US president’s financial ties to the crypto industry have been under scrutiny for some time now, with one, American Bitcoin, a mining company backed by members of his family, reporting a net loss of $82 million in the first quarter of 2026 despite mining a record 817 BTC during that period.

CEO Mike Ho framed it as an accounting problem rather than an operational one.

Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial has had a more difficult situation. Its native WLFI token hit an all-time low late last month following a 16% single-day decline, with the asset trading around $0.05 at the time, well below its high near $0.33.

The project has faced additional pressure following a lawsuit filed by Tron founder Justin Sun and a Wall Street Journal article linking one of its partners to individuals sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in connection with alleged fraud operations in Southeast Asia.

Additionally, yesterday, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate World Liberty, accusing it of misleading investors and/or violating securities laws when it recently borrowed $75 million using WLFI as collateral.
