President Donald Trump made a series of trades in the so-called “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks during the first quarter of 2026, according to his latest ethics disclosure. The disclosure shows Trump’s account executed 94 trades valued between $50 million and $70 million, including purchases of Apple and Alphabet and sales of Tesla.
The trades were part of over 3,700 transactions under the president’s name, managed by the Trump Organization. The organization said trades are overseen by third-party institutions without any input from Trump or his family.
Apple and Alphabet were the two stocks the president added most during the first quarter. The disclosure shows eight purchases of Apple stock compared with a single sale, amounting to net purchases between $2 million and $7.2 million. All Alphabet transactions were purchases totaling between $1.5 million and $3.1 million.
Other stocks in the Magnificent Seven, including NVIDIA, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Amazon, also saw multiple trades, though the disclosure lists sales in broad ranges. Tesla was the only stock that Trump definitely sold during this period, with sales ranging from $30,000 to $330,000.
February 10 was a notable day for trading activity. On that day, Trump purchased at least $1 million in NVIDIA, shortly before NVIDIA announced a strategic partnership with Meta. The records also show sales of Microsoft and Amazon stock worth between $10 million and $50 million in two separate transactions.
The disclosure lists 27 of the 94 Magnificent Seven trades as unsolicited, meaning they were initiated by the client rather than the broker. This has prompted questions about the Trump Organization’s statement that neither Trump nor his family plays any role in investment decisions.
“Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,” the organization said, adding that they receive no advance notice of trades.
The timing of some trades has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest. Some transactions occurred shortly before major announcements or public discussions involving the companies. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington noted, “Presidents are not supposed to be day traders,” in reference to the disclosures.
The Trump Organization has not provided specific explanations for the Magnificent Seven trades. The broad reporting ranges and number of unsolicited trades leave uncertainties about the exact holdings at the end of the quarter.
The disclosure provides insight into the trading patterns of President Trump’s account but does not indicate any personal involvement in the decisions. The activity includes millions of dollars flowing in and out of the portfolio, reflecting active management by the financial institutions overseeing the account.
