Trump Discloses $50K–$100K Strategy Stock Purchase in Ethics Filing

President Donald Trump filed a US Office of Government Ethics disclosure on Tuesday showing he bought Strategy (MSTR) shares valued between $50,001 and $100,000 on July 27. The filing also lists a smaller purchase of Strategy shares three days earlier and several other crypto‑linked trades.

Details of the Strategy transaction

The July 27 purchase matches Trump’s previous largest Strategy acquisition, a $50,001‑$100,000 buy recorded on February 12. Strategy is the world’s largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, with 846,000 BTC reported by BitcoinTreasuries.net.

Other crypto‑related activity

Trump’s filing includes a Coinbase stock purchase and sales of Bitcoin miners MARA Holdings and CleanSpark in July. The Strategy purchase was the largest crypto‑linked transaction identified in the filing.

Broader portfolio movements

In addition to the crypto trades, the filing shows sales of Microsoft and Amazon stocks valued between $5 million and $25 million each on July 20, and several other purchases and sales in the $1 million to $5 million range.

Administration’s crypto policy context

The disclosure arrives as the administration advances several crypto initiatives. The SEC recently granted a temporary exemption for limited on‑chain trading of tokenized US stocks, and the CFTC eased registration requirements for certain software providers. The CFTC also forwarded a broader crypto market rulemaking initiative to the White House for review.

In Congress, the House Financial Services Committee advanced legislation to codify a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and require a 20‑year holding period for Bitcoin placed in the reserve.

Market reaction

Strategy shares have risen roughly 30% over the past five trading days and about 37% over the past month, according to Yahoo Finance data.
