Ownership, investments, government actions, and connections
Financial connections — September 20 update
Jared Kushner, Phoenix and the Board of Peace
The White House named Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Apollo CEO Marc Rowan to the Board of Peace’s founding executive board on January 16, 2026. Affinity, founded by Kushner, reported retaining 7.4% of Phoenix Financial after selling one quarter of its Phoenix shares in July 2026. The company said the sale enabled return of the original investment to its limited partners.[S1, S2]
Phoenix and Apollo’s investment arrangement
Phoenix and Apollo announced an arrangement in September 2023 allowing Phoenix to participate in up to $2 billion of investments. It provides access to global private-credit opportunities. The announcement describes an investment capacity, not money already spent or a Gaza reconstruction contract. It predates the board appointments.[S3]
Firehawk: two announced awards total $8.9 million
Our existing financing record identifies 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner, with Firehawk’s January 2025 fundraising. Firehawk announced a $4.9 million Air Force contract on August 25, 2025, followed by a $4 million AFWERX TACFI contract on September 22. The two announced values sum to $8.9 million; this is not a measure of payments received or investor profit.[S8, S4, S5]
Later Firehawk contract announcement
On July 28, 2026, Firehawk announced another AFRL contract for hybrid-engine development. Its exact amount was not disclosed. The reviewed release does not establish whether this is separate funding or related to an earlier award; it is excluded from the $8.9 million calculation.[S6]
Vulcan Elements: investment, loan and congressional inquiry
In an August 10, 2026 document request, Democratic ranking members Jared Huffman and Robert Garcia described 1789 Capital’s August 2025 investment in Vulcan and the subsequent $620 million Pentagon loan. Citing ProPublica, they alleged that Peter Navarro initiated White House intervention. Their account also records CEO John Maslin’s denial of political favoritism. This is an attributed congressional inquiry, not an adjudicated finding. The loan is kept separate from contract-award totals.[S7]
PowerUS: commercial energy-infrastructure contract
PowerUS, backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump according to Financial Times reporting, announced an approximately $22.3 million commercial contract on August 20, 2026 to provide counter-drone detection and warning capabilities for Middle Eastern oil-and-gas infrastructure. The customer and deployment sites are undisclosed. The announced value is subject to options, milestones and other conditions; it is not verified revenue and is not added to government-award totals.

Ownership and financial benefit
Donald Trump remains the settlor and sole beneficiary of his revocable trust. Donald Trump Jr. is its sole trustee, with voting and investment authority over its securities. Delegating investment decisions does not remove Trump’s economic interest: shares may generate dividends or gains, while debt produces contractual interest and repayment claims. [1,2]
What the sons control
Donald Trump Jr.’s trustee authority and Eric Trump’s operating role are distinct from their father’s beneficial ownership. Business revenue is not automatically personal profit; distributions, expenses, taxes and each entity’s ownership determine the amount reaching him. [1,2,27]
Investments and holdings
The extracted eight-account securities schedule totals $701,854,639–$2,574,395,000 across 6,134 rows of stocks, bonds and funds. Its 1,495 below-threshold entries count as $0–$1,000 each. Separate accounts remain separate holdings. This securities subtotal is not complete net worth. [1,27]
Other interests include real estate, golf and hospitality; Trump Media; crypto and stablecoins; international licensing; books, merchandise and digital products. Private business interests and receipts are not added to the securities subtotal. Affinity is Kushner’s separate investment-adviser business. [1,2,18,19,27]
Overview
Donald Trump’s disclosures document financial interests across oil, technology, defense and cryptocurrency. This report follows those interests alongside government actions, private contracts and company-level outcomes. The Greenland section presents the disclosed investments, the Halliburton exploration-services contract and the September 2026 security announcement. The following sections address technology and data centers, defense contracts, family cryptocurrency businesses, foreign investment and gifts. The legal comparison retains the separate requirements of each cited provision. [1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 18, 19, 117]
Trump, Halliburton, and the Greenland Connection
Donald Trump’s disclosure for reporting year 2025 lists $5,378,027–$23,273,000 in securities across four companies with identified Greenland connections. Halliburton contracted for exploration services; three defense suppliers were linked to reported or planned mineral-supply talks. These are different commercial relationships. The holdings establish a dated financial interest in the companies; the private service agreement and the reported supply discussions retain their own dates and status. [1, 4, 27, 75, 79]
September 2026 security announcement
Greenland’s government announced on September 18 that Greenland, Denmark and the United States expected to sign a security agreement at the following week’s UN General Assembly. Its statement said entry into force would require parliamentary procedures and affirmed sovereignty and Greenlandic self-determination. It did not publish the agreement or provisions granting oil or mineral rights.[117]
Update needed — September 20, 2026: The full agreement and any annexes were not located in this review. This section needs updating when those terms are published. Resource-access provisions remain unverified.
Dated statements and negotiations
Date | Trump’s statement or action | Type |
|---|---|---|
Kept military and economic coercion available to acquire Greenland. [84] | Military / economic | |
Told Congress the US would get Greenland “one way or the other.” [85] | Acquisition pressure | |
Told NBC he would not take military force off the table. [86] | Military option | |
4 May 2025 (aired) | Again refused to exclude military force. [87] | Military option |
Said the US would act on Greenland whether its people liked it or not. [88] | Acquisition pressure | |
Threatened tariffs against countries opposing Greenland acquisition. [89] | Tariff pressure | |
Announced 10% tariffs, rising to 25%, on eight European countries unless a Greenland purchase agreement was reached. [90] | Tariff pressure |
The table records seven occasions: three involving the military option, two acquisition pressure and two tariff pressure; the first also involved economic coercion. The White House’s 6 January 2026 statement is additional administration evidence. On 21 January Trump ruled out force and withdrew the tariff threat, while continuing to seek acquisition and warning that refusal would be remembered. [73,74,91,100] At the NATO summit on 7 July 2026, Trump said Greenland “should be controlled by the United States.” [101]
Security statements and existing military access
At Davos on 21 January 2026, Trump argued that U.S. ownership was necessary for defense, saying: “You can’t defend it on a lease.” He presented national and international security, including Golden Dome, as the reason for acquisition and rejected minerals as his explanation. [74]
The 1951 defense agreement provides for U.S. military facilities in mutually agreed defense areas while expressly preserving Danish sovereignty. Pituffik remains a U.S. military installation; the Space Force marked its 75th anniversary in August 2026. [103,104]
Canada and the United States also operate NORAD under a bilateral agreement, sharing aerospace warning through a network of satellites and radars. [116]
Greenland oil licensing
Greenland’s government says its 2021 decision stopped new oil and gas licences while preserving existing permissions. It identifies White Flame Energy A/S as the Jameson Land licence holder and Greenland Energy as an investor and operator. The project remains in exploration; required assessments and approvals precede drilling. [96, 118]
USGS resource estimate
USGS estimated a mean 31.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent in undiscovered, technically recoverable oil, gas and natural-gas liquids in the East Greenland Rift Basins Province. The assessment did not quantify the Jameson Land units. The estimate covers geological resources, not proved reserves or a dollar valuation. [82]
Halliburton and Jameson Land
Trump disclosed Halliburton securities. Halliburton contracted with March GL for services relating to Jameson Land exploration. [1,4,75]
On 4 April 2025, the disclosure records a $50,001–$100,000 Halliburton purchase. The consulting agreement is dated 11 April, seven days later. It excludes well services and project management unless separately contracted, leaves permitting to the customer, and sets compensation through work orders. The filing does not identify who ordered the purchase. [1,4]
Nine purchases total $86,009–$290,000; four sales total $81,004–$215,000. Six holdings rows total $18,004–$97,000, including two below-threshold entries counted as $0–$1,000 each. One row reports $201–$1,000 in dividends; no amount is traced to Greenland work. The 13-trade ledger is in the appendix. [1,27]
A 10 September 2025 SEC-filed announcement describes March GL financing up to two exploration wells to earn up to 70% through an 80 Mile subsidiary, using earlier ARCO seismic work. The proposed public combination offered access to U.S. capital markets. A broader Halliburton agreement announced on 27 April 2026 included well and drilling services. [75,76]
Greenland’s position | Company proposal or action |
|---|---|
24 June 2021 decision, announced in July: stop new oil licensing and favor renewable energy. Four existing licences remained active at that time. [96] | The later Jameson Land venture relied on three existing onshore licences, covering about two million acres. [76] |
30 July 2026: the government said an earlier equipment‑landing approval had expired and renewal was still being processed. It warned the licence holder to obtain approvals before further logistics. [95] | White Flame moved stored camp equipment from Tasiilaq to Nerlerit Inaat. The government allowed it to remain there; onward movement awaited approvals. [95] |
The permitting process required more extensive review. [28] | March GL had committed to fund up to two exploration wells. On 11 August 2026, Greenland Energy announced a revised target for permits in winter 2027. That was a target, not an issued drilling permit. [28,76] |
The April announcement acknowledged no proved reserves or commercial discovery, expensive Arctic exploration and required approvals. The August permit target superseded its earlier drilling timetable. The first formal well-application date and any government-approved production volume remain unverified. The Guardian also reported objections to the timetable and equipment deployment. [28,75,83]
Presidential oil policy and the companies he holds
Trump’s 2025 disclosure records $11,978,142–$44,131,000 across 47 identified companies and 178 holdings rows, spanning producers, pipelines and oilfield services. [1,4,6,27,75]
Trump’s 20 January 2025 energy executive order promotes domestic production, restarts LNG export reviews and directs permitting changes. DOE later extended Golden Pass’s export deadline; Congress and Trump repealed the methane-charge implementing rule. They do not authorize Greenland drilling, which requires separate rights and approvals. [6,36,37]
Documented interest | Dated public action or private agreement | Commercial effect |
|---|---|---|
Exxon Mobil$3,180,009–$12,450,000 | 5 March 2025: DOE granted an extension of the Golden Pass LNG export deadline. [36] | Golden Pass, owned by ExxonMobil and QatarEnergy, received more time to begin LNG exports. [36] |
Chevron and ConocoPhillips$3,242,018–$12,780,000 combined | 20 January 2025: energy executive order. 14 March: Trump signed congressional disapproval of the methane-charge rule; EPA removed the rule on 12 May. [6,37] | Repeal ended the rule’s force of law and removed the September 2025 filing requirement for covered oil and gas facilities. [37] |
Kinder Morgan and Williams$1,587,015–$6,406,000 combined | 20 January 2025: energy executive order restarted LNG export reviews and supported production and permitting. [6] | Restarted LNG export reviews reopened the federal approval process for projects in the gas market served by these pipeline companies. [6] |
Halliburton$18,004–$97,000 | 20 January 2025: energy executive order. Separately, 11 April: private March GL consulting agreement; expanded services announced 27 April 2026. [4,6,75] | March GL contracted for consulting services; the later agreement added well and drilling services. Compensation is set through work orders; Greenland work requires permits. [4,75] |
The issuer amounts include different securities, including debt. A bond pays contractual interest and principal; it does not share the same upside as common stock. Fund exposure is outside the named-company total. The six highlighted oil issuers total $8,027,046–$31,733,000; the complete 47-company ledger preserves the additional producers, refiners and suppliers. [1,27]
A Democratic Joint Economic Committee staff analysis uses a broader oil basket and reports $12,541,161–$45,557,000. The White House says independent managers execute portfolio trades and follow indexes. [3,29]
Oil majors had earlier Greenland interests
Company | Earliest activity verified in this scan | Timing |
|---|---|---|
ExxonMobil / predecessor | Kanumas involvement dates to 1989. ExxonMobil withdrew its Greenland Sea licence application in early December 2013. [98] | Before 2025 |
Chevron | Awarded interests in the Umimmak and Nerleq offshore licences on 20 December 2013. [98] | Before 2025 |
ConocoPhillips | Awarded an interest in the Avinngaq offshore licence on 20 December 2013. [98] | Before 2025 |
Halliburton | Consulting agreement with March GL dated 11 April 2025; broader well services announced 27 April 2026. [4,75] | During 2025 |
Lockheed Martin | Tanbreez supply talks reported by 9 January 2025; the report did not date their beginning. [79] | By Jan 2025 |
RTX and Boeing | Tanbreez talks described as upcoming on 9 January 2025. [79] | Planned in 2025 |
These historical offshore licences are separate from Jameson Land. Trump’s later disclosure does not establish that he held these companies at their earlier exploration dates. No renewed Greenland project for ExxonMobil, Chevron or ConocoPhillips is established here. [1,4,75,98]
Minerals and the wider investment connection
Company | 2025 disclosed range | Greenland connection |
|---|---|---|
Halliburton | $18,004–$97,000 | Services agreement announced; project receipts and margin not disclosed. [75] |
Lockheed Martin | $1,332,008–$5,881,000 | Tanbreez discussions reported. [79] |
RTX | $1,896,008–$6,915,000 | Tanbreez talks were planned. [79] |
Boeing | $2,132,007–$10,380,000 | Tanbreez talks were planned. [79] |
The four-company Greenland subtotal is $5,378,027–$23,273,000, including $5,360,023–$23,176,000 in the three defense issuers. These holdings are already within the oil and defense totals. The mineral links concern reported discussions or planned talks, not completed defense-company purchases. No verified Greenland supply path supports adding the wider technology portfolio to this subtotal. [1,27,79]
Resource group | Industrial use | Recorded company connection |
|---|---|---|
Oil and gas | Exploration, drilling and production services. | Halliburton’s services agreement with March GL. [75] |
Rare earths | Magnets and specialized defense/industrial components. | The three defense issuers above; no verified purchase volumes or realized savings. [79,80] |
Copper, graphite and related battery minerals | Electrical systems, batteries and infrastructure. | No traced Greenland procurement for the report’s technology holdings. [77] |
Hafnium, tantalum, silicon and alloying metals | Electronics and specialized materials after processing and qualification. | No semiconductor-grade supply or contract with a held company verified. [77] |
The European Commission identifies 25 of the EU’s 34 critical raw materials in Greenland and signed a raw-materials partnership in 2023. GEUS describes substantial geological potential alongside historical estimates, limited information, remoteness and infrastructure costs. [77,78]
REalloys executed a contract on 20 May 2026 for 15% of Tanbreez’s monthly Phase 1 output, for an initial 15 years after first commercial delivery, with qualification conditions and some pricing terms outstanding. It documents a planned processing route, not deliveries or savings for Lockheed Martin, RTX or Boeing. Reported U.S. efforts to steer Tanbreez away from Chinese buyers began in 2024. [79,80]
Earlier political and commercial activity
Bolton told the Guardian that Ronald Lauder proposed buying Greenland to Trump in 2018. The Washington Post reported that Tanbreez geologist Greg Barnes briefed White House officials in 2019 but did not meet Trump. Bluejay’s 19 June 2024 White Flame announcement described earlier ARCO work. [92,93,94]
Financial connection
Donald Trump disclosed ExxonMobil stock. His administration extended the export deadline for Golden Pass, an ExxonMobil project, giving that business more time to begin exports. Separately, Halliburton’s private Greenland agreement provides for paid services by another company in his disclosed portfolio. Greenland’s permitting requirements remain part of the project’s published status. [1, 4, 36, 75, 118]
Public climate policy and Trump’s investment portfolio
Major climate and energy decisions in 2025
The following register covers major documented actions relevant to the financial and climate questions. It is not a complete inventory of every federal rule, permit, lawsuit or website edit.
Date and action | What changed | Status |
|---|---|---|
20 JanEnergy order | Promotes production and permitting; restarts LNG reviews; withdraws the existing social cost of greenhouse gases framework. [6] | Signed directive. |
20 JanParis directive | Directs withdrawal notices and revokes the international climate finance plan. [33] | Signed directive. No company payment established. |
20 JanWind pause | Orders a pause in federal wind approvals and withdraws offshore areas from new wind leasing. [34] | The blanket agency permitting halt was rejected by a judge on 8 December 2025. [35] |
5 MarGolden Pass LNG | Extends the deadline to begin exports from the Exxon and QatarEnergy project. [36] | DOE granted the extension. Exxon is a project owner. [36] |
14 Mar and 12 MayMethane charge rule | Trump signs congressional disapproval; EPA removes the implementing regulation from federal rules. [37] | Completed rule repeal. |
8 AprState climate measures | Directs the attorney general to challenge specified state climate laws, penalties and lawsuits. [38] | Direction to take legal action. It does not automatically cancel those laws or claims. |
8 AprCoal expansion | Promotes coal leasing, exports and regulatory changes; calls for studying coal power for AI data centers. [39] | Signed directive. |
4 JulEnergy tax credits | Accelerates the end of clean vehicle and specified home energy credits. Vehicle deadline: 30 September; home deadlines: 31 December 2025. [40] | Enacted law and IRS guidance. Other energy credits retain their separate rules. |
Major actions in 2026 and climate effects
Date | Action and stage | Recorded effect or status |
|---|---|---|
7 Jan | Direction to withdraw from named international bodies, including the IPCC and UNFCCC. [41] | Withdrawal directive; completion of each legal withdrawal is not verified. |
12 Feb | EPA final rule rescinds the vehicle greenhouse gas endangerment finding and related emissions standards. [42] | Removes a central basis for vehicle climate regulation. Ordinary air pollutant controls are separate. |
14 Sep | EPA signs a final partial repeal of the 2024 power plant carbon standards and issues a broader proposal. [43] | The partial repeal is a final action. The broader rescission remains a proposal. |
EPA projects more carbon dioxide after the power plant repeal
EPA’s own analysis estimates higher annual power plant carbon dioxide emissions than under the standards being repealed. These are modeled future effects, not emissions already measured. [44]

EPA Table 3‑3 reports increases of 20, 406, 533 and 486 million metric tons in 2030, 2035, 2040 and 2045 respectively. Its cost comparison does not assign a dollar value to the climate damage from those additional emissions. [44]
Under EPA’s modeled conditions, power plant carbon dioxide emissions are higher after repeal than with the standards retained. NASA identifies carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping greenhouse gas and describes warming-related risks from extreme heat, rising seas and changing rainfall. The exact global temperature effect of this repeal is not calculated here. [30,44,56]
Government climate information and access
Federal climate information was removed, rewritten or left without updates in several documented cases. The record does not support saying that all government climate information or underlying data was destroyed.
Resource and date | Documented change | What remains or happened afterward |
|---|---|---|
USDA30 Jan 2025 | A directive ordered climate landing pages archived or unpublished. Farmers and advocates sued. [46] | USDA committed in May to restore pages. The case was dismissed on 25 February 2026. [46,47] |
EPA EJScreen and CEQ screening toolsEarly 2025 | EDGI documented removal of public screening tools combining environmental and community information. [45] | Archive comparisons show the specific pages and capture windows. These are access changes, not proof all underlying datasets were erased. |
NOAA Climate.govJune 2025 | The climate portal was redirected; its archive says maintenance ended on 25 June. [45,48] | Archived content remains. NOAA Climate Data Online remains available separately. [49] |
USGCRP and National Climate AssessmentsJuly 2025 | EDGI documented removal of the government portal and its assessment resources. [45] | Copies and archives preserve reports. Removing the portal reduces the public route to them. |
EPA climate causes pageDec 2025 | AP reported removal of the explanation connecting fossil fuel emissions to warming; natural drivers remained. [50] | This is a documented reported edit to particular content. NASA still explains human‑caused warming. [30] |
Public funding and the legal question
The USDA plaintiffs challenged the removals on grounds involving the agency’s duties, the material and the procedure used. A restoration commitment and dismissal do not establish a ruling that every climate webpage change across government was unlawful. [46,47]
The dates above identify observed website changes, archive dates or reporting dates. They are not records of personal instructions from Trump to agency employees.
NASA monitoring and industry climate messaging
The proposed NASA cuts and the later outcome
In August 2025, AP reported an administration effort to end funding for OCO‑2 and OCO‑3, missions that measure atmospheric carbon dioxide and plant activity. That was a proposed termination, not evidence that the instruments had already stopped. [51]
NASA announced on 24 August 2026 that agreements signed on 14 August would let Caltech operate both missions and their science data systems for up to five years. NASA retains ownership and says both continue collecting data. [52]
The 2027 NASA request separately proposes $3.894 billion for science, compared with $7.250 billion enacted for 2026. [53]
Exxon study and congressional staff report
A 2023 peer reviewed study examined Exxon’s historical climate projections. It found that the company’s scientists predicted warming with substantial accuracy while company public statements contradicted important parts of its own scientific findings. [31]
An April 2024 congressional staff report, based on company records, described differences between public climate commitments and private planning or lobbying at Exxon, Chevron, BP, Shell and industry associations. The report also records public opposition by some companies to particular methane rollbacks. [32]
Trump statements and the scientific record
AP reported that Trump called climate change a “con job” in his 23 September 2025 UN speech. NASA’s science explanation identifies human greenhouse gas emissions, particularly fossil fuel burning, as the driver of recent warming. [30,54]
A separate Rhodium Group model projected US emissions in 2035 at 26–35% below 2005 levels, compared with 38–56% in its previous outlook. The 2025 model includes changed policy and other assumptions, including expected EPA rollbacks. [55]
Additional greenhouse gases contribute to warming. WHO identifies extreme heat, storms, floods, disrupted food supplies and infectious disease as pathways from climate change to illness and premature death. These are public health risks to which additional emissions contribute. [30,106]
Recorded financial interest
The dated disclosures and contracts connect Donald Trump’s financial portfolio to Halliburton’s Greenland exploration work. Equity ownership carries an interest in a company’s financial performance; debt holdings carry their contractual rights to interest and repayment. Halliburton’s service agreement remains part of the documented business chain. [1, 4, 75]
Technology, AI and Data Centers
Trump’s 2025 disclosure records $73,596,082–$337,045,000 across ten technology and infrastructure issuers. His data-center executive order directs faster federal reviews and possible financial support, while U.S. chip-export licences supported Microsoft’s UAE expansion. These actions affect markets and businesses in which he retained a financial interest. The portfolio includes chips, cloud platforms and infrastructure; the full value of diversified companies is not attributable solely to AI. [1,12,27,105]
Issuer | Sum of 2025 disclosed bands | Rows |
|---|---|---|
Alphabet | $15,900,016–$71,000,000 | 16 |
Nvidia | $12,500,007–$58,001,000 | 8 |
Microsoft | $9,100,008–$42,251,000 | 9 |
Amazon | $9,750,010–$46,600,000 | 10 |
Meta | $8,300,010–$37,700,000 | 10 |
Apple | $15,015,011–$69,050,000 | 11 |
Oracle | $1,530,007–$6,200,000 | 7 |
CoreWeave | $1,001,002–$5,017,000 | 4 |
Equinix | $132,005–$381,000 | 6 |
Digital Realty | $368,006–$845,000 | 6 |
CoreWeave, Equinix and Digital Realty account for $1,501,013–$6,243,000 of the total. Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Apple account for $70,565,062–$324,602,000; Oracle accounts for the remainder. The disclosure establishes securities holdings, not personal ownership of particular data centers. [1,27]
Data center executive order
On 23 July 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14318 to accelerate data-center development. It directs expedited federal reviews, identifies federal land for qualifying projects and calls for financial support that could include loans, guarantees, grants and tax incentives. It also covers chips, networking, storage and power infrastructure. Implementation is subject to law and appropriations. [105]
The order directs faster federal reviews and financial support for qualifying data-center and component projects. Trump held investments in the chip, cloud-computing and infrastructure businesses serving that market. The policy supports business activities represented in his investment portfolio; eligibility depends on the order’s project requirements. [1,27,105]
UAE decisions and the disclosed trades
The 15 May 2025 U.S.–UAE framework preceded the 22 May Stargate UAE announcement, which named Nvidia and Oracle among technology partners. Microsoft’s 3 November announcement described U.S. chip-export licences and planned UAE investment exceeding $15 billion. [10,11,12]
Date | Nvidia entry | Source locator |
|---|---|---|
Purchase $1,000,001–$5,000,000 | Account 6, page 323, row 224 | |
Purchase $1,001–$15,000 | Account 8, page 770, row 1626 | |
Purchase $15,001–$50,000 | Account 5, page 265, row 87 | |
Purchase $500,001–$1,000,000 | Account 6, page 329, row 391 |
The U.S. chip-export licences authorized Microsoft’s planned UAE expansion. Trump disclosed Microsoft holdings of $9,100,008–$42,251,000. The approval benefited a company in which he held a financial interest. Nvidia fell 0.38% on the separate framework date while the market benchmark rose 0.49%. [1,9,10,12,27]
Finding
Executive Order 14318 promotes data-center and component development. The separate chip-export licences authorized Microsoft’s planned UAE expansion. Those licences benefited a company in Trump’s disclosed portfolio; his ownership connects its commercial success to his financial interests. [1,12,27,105]
Defense and Aerospace Suppliers
Trump disclosed $8,251,059–$32,597,000 across 13 defense and aerospace issuers. His filing records Boeing purchases, and a sale, before the Air Force’s public F47 development-award announcement. The contract benefited a company in his portfolio. Donald Trump Jr.’s trustee authority is documented; the records do not identify who ordered the individual trades or establish advance knowledge of the award. [1,2,7,27,29]
Issuer | Sum of 2025 disclosed bands | Rows |
|---|---|---|
Boeing | $2,132,007–$10,380,000 | 7 |
Lockheed Martin | $1,332,008–$5,881,000 | 9 |
RTX | $1,896,008–$6,915,000 | 8 |
Northrop Grumman | $417,006–$930,000 | 6 |
General Dynamics | $382,006–$880,000 | 6 |

Ownership and the sons’ roles
The reported trades are in Donald Trump’s disclosure. SEC records identify him as the trust’s sole beneficiary and Donald Trump Jr. as sole trustee with investment authority over its securities. Eric Trump’s operating role is different. These records do not identify either son as the person who ordered the Boeing trades. The White House attributes portfolio execution to independent managers. [1,2,29]
Boeing purchases before the F47 announcement
Boeing purchases appear on 29 January and 24 February 2025, followed by two purchases of $1,001–$15,000 each on 5 March, 16 days before the public award announcement. A $50,001–$100,000 sale on 10 March preceded the announcement by 11 days. [1,7,27]
On 21 March 2025, the Air Force announced Boeing’s selection for engineering and manufacturing development of the F47 under Next Generation Air Dominance. Reuters reported a development phase above $20 billion. That is a government aircraft-development award intended to meet an Air Force requirement; it is not $20 billion already paid to Boeing, delivered aircraft or Trump’s income. The reviewed records do not identify the internal decision date or who knew it before announcement. [7,8]
Boeing rose from $172.83 on 20 March to $178.11 on the announcement date, a 3.06% change versus 0.03% for the market benchmark. It closed at $159.34 twenty trading days later, on 21 April. Exact shares retained at the announcement and realized personal profit are not disclosed by the value bands. [1,7,9,27]
The Boeing total includes a $1 million–$5 million senior unsecured note. Its return is not measured by the common-stock chart. [1,27] The F47 development award benefited Boeing, a company in Trump’s disclosed investment portfolio. His filing records both purchases and a sale before the award. [1,7,27]
Other defense and space exposure
Reuters reported a $15,001–$50,000 SpaceX purchase on 23 June 2026, disclosed in August. The White House said independent third‑party managers execute portfolio trades and follow recognized indexes. [29]
For the other listed defense issuers, holdings alone do not establish a purchase tied to a particular award. Palantir appears in this defense basket rather than also being added to the technology total. [1,27]
Finding
The Boeing sequence establishes disclosed trading before a federal award, followed by a commercial benefit to a company in Trump’s investment portfolio. Both the intervening sale and the subsequent share-price reversal remain part of that sequence. The Air Force’s development award and Trump’s disclosed ownership establish the government-contract and financial-interest connection. [1,7,9,27]
Eric Trump, XTEND and a European defense contract
Reuters reported on February 17, 2026 that Eric Trump was investing in the proposed XTEND–JFB merger. It also reported that Unusual Machines, which had appointed Donald Trump Jr. as an adviser, was investing in the transaction. Eric Trump’s individual investment amount was not specified in that account.[119]
On August 17, XTEND announced a framework contract with a European NATO member’s defense ministry valued at up to approximately $15 million, including about $4.5 million secured for the first year. The release identifies potential further orders and options. These figures describe a company contract; they do not state a distribution to Eric Trump or a U.S. government award.[120]
Cryptocurrency, Family Proceeds and Investor Losses
Trump-family cryptocurrency businesses generated substantial receipts while the administration changed federal crypto policy through an executive order, agency actions and legislation. DT Marks SC disclosed $196,875,000 in entity proceeds. Reuters separately estimated approximately $2.3 billion in combined family gains and approximately $2.3 billion in outside-investor losses, including valuation-based and paper amounts. These measures are not interchangeable or additive. [1,16,17,69,70,71,72]
The White House told Reuters that administration actions serve the American people. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. did not respond to its requests for comment. [70]
Reuters estimated about $2.3 billion in Trump-family gains across World Liberty, $TRUMP, ALT5 Sigma and American Bitcoin from mid-2024 through April 2026, alongside about $2.3 billion in outside-investor losses, including paper losses. Its estimate combines inferred token sales and share valuations; it is not a verified $2.3 billion cash profit received personally by Donald Trump. Some early traders profited. [69,70]
Disclosed receipts and the businesses behind them
Schedule 1, line 114, reports DT Marks SC LLC’s 38.25% interest in Stablecoin Holdco and $196,875,000 in proceeds associated with new‑member capital contributions and sales of Class C units. DT Marks SC’s listed ownership is 69% DTTM Operations, 30% Trump family members and 1% DT Marks SC Member Corp. The full proceeds figure is not automatically Trump’s personal after‑tax income. [1]
Business | Financial relationship | Documented outcome |
|---|---|---|
World Liberty and WLFI | Family‑linked crypto business and token‑related interests | Reuters includes World Liberty in its combined family-gain and investor-loss estimates. A separately reported foreign stake purchase remains attributed reporting. [13,69,70] |
USD1 and Stablecoin Holdco | Stablecoin business with a disclosed DT Marks SC interest | DT Marks SC disclosed $196,875,000 in proceeds and a 38.25% Stablecoin Holdco interest. The amount is entity proceeds, not a personal net-profit figure. [1] |
$TRUMP and CIC Digital | Branded meme‑token ecosystem | Reuters includes token sales and fees in its estimates; outside traders had mixed outcomes. Token market capitalization is not cash received by the family. [69,70] |
American Bitcoin | Mining venture associated with Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. | Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are associated with the mining venture. Its shares and Bitcoin are company interests, not automatically their father’s assets. [23,24] |
Trump Media | Public‑company interest held through the revocable trust | The trust’s disclosed shareholding creates an indirect interest in the company’s Bitcoin activity. The company’s holdings are not a personal Bitcoin wallet. [2,25] |
Business actions alongside public policy
Senate Banking Democratic staff describe a reported 16 January 2025 UAE‑linked $500 million acquisition of 49% of World Liberty, including at least $187 million up front to Trump‑family entities. The underlying private agreement is not established here. Whether that reported payment overlaps the $196.875 million disclosure remains unresolved. [13]
USD1 was announced as the settlement currency for MGX’s $2 billion Binance investment on 1 May. The SEC dismissed its Binance civil case on 29 May; it cited a policy decision. The GENIUS Act followed on 18 July. [15,16,17]
Public action and date | Financial connection | Recorded effect / remaining amount |
|---|---|---|
Bitcoin reserve executive order6 March 2025 | Trump Media’s later Bitcoin activity; family‑linked American Bitcoin. [23,25,71] | Order retains forfeited federal Bitcoin and directs budget-neutral acquisition strategies. No payment to a family business is specified. |
SEC staff statement on meme coins27 February 2025 | Staff viewed the described meme coins as outside securities registration. Nonbinding; no specific $TRUMP ruling. Other fraud laws remain applicable. | |
SEC civil enforcement dismissal29 May 2025 | MGX had selected family‑linked USD1 for its $2 billion Binance investment on 1 May. [15,17] | The SEC dismissed its civil case on stated policy grounds. |
GENIUS Act signed into law18 July 2025 | The USD1 stablecoin business and disclosed Stablecoin Holdco interest. [1,16] | Established a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, the market in which USD1 operates. |
The $2 billion MGX investment used USD1 as settlement currency. The federal Bitcoin reserve retains forfeited Bitcoin and permits budget-neutral acquisition strategies. The order does not direct purchases of $TRUMP or payments to a family business. [15,17,71]
Reuters reported that Trump aides said business management had been handed to his children. [14]
Finding
The disclosure establishes substantial proceeds to a family-linked crypto entity. The GENIUS Act created a federal framework for the stablecoin market in which USD1 operates, while the Bitcoin-reserve executive order and SEC actions changed the broader policy environment. Trump’s family maintained commercial interests in those markets as his administration shaped their federal treatment. [1,15,16,17,71,72]
Foreign capital, gifts and emoluments
Foreign-government-linked capital generated fees for Jared Kushner’s investment adviser after his White House service. A separate foreign-government gift supplied an aircraft to the Defense Department for presidential transport, with federally funded conversion and a reported plan for later transfer to a presidential library foundation. The records distinguish money received by private businesses from property accepted by the United States. Those distinctions determine the relevant emoluments and gift-law questions. [18,19,107,108,109,111,112,113]
Jared Kushner and Saudi Investment
Jared Kushner served as a senior White House adviser during Trump’s first term and worked on Middle East policy. After leaving government in 2021, he founded Affinity Partners. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund committed $2 billion to its funds. [18,19]
Kushner owns A Fin Management, Affinity’s investment adviser. Senate Finance investigators reported a 1.25% annual fee on the Saudi commitment—equivalent to $25 million a year in gross fees—and up to $157 million in foreign-client fees by their 2024 inquiry, including $87 million from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi amount is part of the $157 million. These are business fees, not all personal take-home income. [18,19]
QIA and Lunate added a combined $1.5 billion in 2024; the cited report did not state their separate shares. Assets under management reached $4.8 billion at the end of 2024 and exceeded $6 billion in Affinity’s July 2026 announcement. Those assets belong to investors; Kushner’s financial benefit runs through the adviser he owns and its fees and profits. [19,20]
In July 2026, Affinity reported selling 25% of its Phoenix shares, retaining a 7.4% stake in the company, and being able to return the original investment to its limited partners. The announcement did not report a total return for every Affinity fund. [20]
Affinity receives recurring fees from foreign‑government‑linked investors. Kushner owns its investment adviser. White House photographs dated 5–6 September 2026 show him participating in meetings with the presidents of Russia and Ukraine. [18,19,21]
The New Yorker describes alleged Russian commercial proposals in reporting about diplomacy. A spokesman denied that US officials would profit. [22]
Other Trump Family Businesses
Winning Team publishes Trump’s policy‑themed books, and Trump Media distributes content through Truth Social and Truth+. The books generate royalties for his trust‑owned company. The records do not trace those profits into political spending. Branded merchandise includes the Trump‑endorsed Bible: AP traced 2024 shipments to China. TIME documented Trump Mobile delivery delays and removal of its US‑manufacturing claim; in May 2026 its CEO said shipments would begin that week. September fulfillment was not independently verified. [1,2,57,58,60,67,68]
Foreign gifts and the Qatari aircraft
Qatar supplied a Boeing 747-8 for presidential transport. The Pentagon confirmed U.S. acceptance on 21 May 2025. The recipient was the United States through the Defense Department. [107]
On 5 June 2025, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink estimated conversion costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars, probably below $400 million. That was an estimate, not a final bill. A $1 billion taxpayer expenditure is not established by the reviewed records. [108]
ABC reported an unconditional donation and plans for a later library-foundation transfer. A completed personal transfer was not verified. [109]
On 1 May 2026, the Air Force announced completion of modification and flight testing. L3Harris performed the conversion; Boeing supplied engineering data. The government described the aircraft as an interim capability while replacement presidential aircraft remained delayed. [110]
The documented sequence is a foreign-government aircraft gift and federally funded conversion for presidential transport, with a reported plan for later transfer to a presidential library foundation. A foundation transfer and private ownership by Donald Trump are different transactions; the reviewed evidence establishes neither a completed personal transfer nor its final terms. [107,108,109,110]
For comparison, AP reported that a diamond from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Jill Biden was valued at $20,000, retained for official East Wing use and designated for later transfer to the National Archives. This illustrates the distinction between a gift presented to an officeholder or spouse and an asset retained personally. [114]
Finding
Kushner’s adviser received fees from foreign-government-linked investors, and the U.S. government accepted Qatar’s aircraft. The aircraft conversion estimate is a public-cost figure; a later library transfer remains a reported plan. The financial records identify private fee income, a foreign-government gift and taxpayer-funded conversion, each with a distinct recipient and legal treatment. [18,19,107,108,109,110,111,113]
Federal law and constitutional comparison
The financial record intersects with the Constitution’s emoluments clauses, federal bribery and conflict statutes, foreign-gift rules, and restrictions on threats of force. Each has its own requirements. Section 208 expressly excludes the President through section 202(c); emoluments and bribery present separate legal questions. [62,63,64,65,111,112,113,115]
Greenland, military force and constitutional authority
Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter prohibits threats or uses of force against a state’s territorial integrity or political independence. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war and makes the President commander in chief. The 1951 Greenland defense agreement preserves Danish sovereignty while authorizing agreed U.S. defense facilities. [62,103,115]
The historical record contains Donald Trump’s statements leaving military force available and his later January 21 statement ruling it out. The September announcement is summarized above. The cited record contains no completed U.S. military seizure of Greenland or court judgment finding those statements unlawful.[73,74,84,86,87,103,115][117]
Foreign Emoluments Clause
Article I, section 9, clause 8 includes: “from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” [62]
The full clause prohibits acceptance of specified foreign benefits by a person holding an office of profit or trust under the United States without congressional consent. The relevant financial records include foreign‑state‑linked investment and fees involving Affinity, and the reported UAE‑linked World Liberty transaction. Applying the clause requires the recipient’s official status at the time, the foreign‑state connection, the benefit received and any congressional consent. Presidential coverage and the treatment of commercial receipts have been contested; this comparison does not resolve those questions. [13,18,19,62]
Presidential compensation and domestic emoluments
Article II, section 1, clause 7 includes: “any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.” [62]
This provision addresses presidential compensation and additional benefits from the federal government or a state during the term. The report identifies holdings in federal contractors and retained business interests. A contractor’s award is not itself a payment to the President. The relevant missing records are the government payment, the recipient entity, the benefit reaching him and the legal character of that benefit. [1,2,7,62]
Bribery of public officials: 18 USC 201(b)(2)
The subsection addresses corrupt receipt or solicitation of value “in return for: (A) being influenced in the performance of any official act”. [63]
Its comparison requires a covered official, a thing of value, a qualifying official act and a corrupt exchange. The report documents business receipts, investments and official actions; it does not supply communications or an agreement establishing that exchange. [1,13,63]
Financial conflicts: 18 USC 208 and 202(c)
Section 208(a) addresses participation “personally and substantially” in a matter involving a known “financial interest”. [65]
For covered executive‑branch officials, the provision reaches specified personal and related financial interests, with statutory exceptions and waivers. Section 202(c) excludes the President and Vice President from section 208’s officer‑and‑employee coverage. For another official, including Kushner in any covered appointment, the necessary records include the appointment and dates, financial interest, particular government matter, participation and any applicable waiver. [64,65]
Gift rules and constitutional requirements
The Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act expressly covers the President. Under 5 USC 7342, a tangible gift above minimal value accepted under the diplomatic-acceptance provision becomes United States property, with official-use and disposal requirements. Section 10 USC 2608 separately authorizes Defense Department contributions for defense purposes. Government acceptance does not by itself establish a right for a departing President to keep an aircraft. [111,112]
Presidential immunity
In Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court recognized absolute criminal immunity for actions within the President’s conclusive constitutional authority, at least presumptive immunity for other official acts, and no immunity for unofficial acts. The decision also limits the use of protected official conduct as prosecution evidence. [66]
Scope of the comparison
The constitutional provisions concern the source and character of benefits. The bribery statute concerns a corrupt exchange. Section 208 concerns covered officials’ participation in matters affecting financial interests, with an express presidential exclusion. The present records establish financial interests and selected actions; the remaining gaps include payment tracing, official status, decision participation and exchange evidence. [62,63,64,65]
Legal status of the findings
The first-term emoluments litigation did not produce a final merits judgment establishing the violations alleged in those cases. Two cases were ordered dismissed as moot after Trump’s term ended; the congressional-plaintiff case failed for lack of standing. This review therefore does not assign a numerical total of federal crimes committed or constitutional violations established. Potential legal issues remain identified separately from adjudicated findings. [113]
Conclusion
Donald Trump retained beneficial ownership while his administration took actions benefiting businesses in his disclosed portfolio. The Department of Energy’s Golden Pass export-deadline extension benefited an ExxonMobil project; U.S. chip-export licences supported Microsoft’s UAE expansion; and the Air Force’s F47 development award benefited Boeing. Benefits to companies in which he retained stock also benefited his financial interests as an owner. Delegating investment management did not remove that ownership. [1,2,7,12,27,36]
The Greenland record links Donald Trump’s disclosed Halliburton securities to a company contracted for Jameson Land exploration services. That holding and the private service agreement remain documented. The exploration project remains subject to Greenland’s approvals. [1, 4, 75, 118]
Golden Pass, an Exxon‑linked project, received an export deadline extension while Trump’s disclosure records Exxon investments and trading. EPA’s own analysis projects higher power plant carbon dioxide emissions under its September 2026 repeal. These additional emissions contribute to warming and its associated risks of illness and premature death. [1,30,36,43,44,106]
Family cryptocurrency businesses received substantial proceeds, and Kushner’s investment adviser received fees from foreign-government-linked investors. Those receipts coexist with official policy and diplomatic activity. Qatar’s aircraft gift adds a separate question about foreign benefits, public conversion costs and a reported future library transfer. The documented recipient was the U.S. government; personal ownership by Trump is not established. [1,13,18,19,21,69,70,107,108,109,110]
Together, the ownership records, dated government actions, contracts and receipts establish that public authority and retained family financial interests intersect in specific, documented transactions and policies. Where an official action benefits a company whose stock Trump retains, his ownership gives him a financial interest in that benefit. The legal comparison identifies the applicable provisions and the status of each potential conflict. [1,2,7,12,18,19,27,36,62,63,64,65,111,113]

Dated share prices
Boeing rose from $172.83 on 20 March to $178.11 on the award date, a 3.06% change. The holding records include purchases before the award, but also a sale before it. Exact shares retained on the award date and any realized gain are not established by the value bands. [1,7,9,27]
Halliburton rose from $20.27 to $21.07 across 10–11 April, while the broad market also rose. The consulting agreement’s execution date is not necessarily the date investors first learned of it. This comparison does not establish that the private agreement caused that price move. [4,9]
Nvidia fell slightly on 15 May despite the reported framework. [9,10]

There were purchases and a sale before the extension, plus a purchase on the announcement date. The filing gives dates, not intraday times or trading instructions. It therefore cannot establish whether the same‑day trade preceded the announcement. [1,36]
How the totals were calculated
Issuer aliases were matched to the saved 6,134‑row holdings extraction and each unique account/page/row retained once. Lower bounds and upper bounds were summed separately. “None or less than $1,001” was treated as $0–$1,000. Separate accounts and distinct disclosure rows were not merged merely because their descriptions matched. Family‑trust schedules and fund look‑through exposure are not added to the named‑company basket.
Adding the reported ranges gives lower and upper bounds, not a best estimate, statistical confidence interval or exact amount spent. Purchases and sales are annual gross flows rather than a balance. The underlying records retain security descriptions for stocks, bonds and funds.
The six‑company oil timeline includes 244 transactions checked against the original PDF by account, page and row. It excludes seven Sherwin‑Williams entries that had been grouped with Williams Companies in the saved data. The 54‑company oil screening list yielded 47 issuers with matching holdings; seven had no matched rows and are not assigned a value. The total remains $11,978,142–$44,131,000. [1,27]
The price dataset supplies 250 daily observations per instrument for 2025. The shared chart rebases adjusted closes to 100 on 2 January. Event‑day return is adjusted close on the event date divided by the prior trading day’s adjusted close, minus one. The later comparison uses the twentieth trading session after the event. No return is assigned to the president personally.
Oil and gas holdings behind the total
The full 47‑issuer basket is shown below so the $11,978,142–$44,131,000 range can be checked without relying on a six‑company sample. Each row sums distinct accounts and filing entries. Bonds and stock are retained as reported; indirect holdings through funds are not added. [1,27]

How to find the material in Explorvia
In the Trump money collection, look for the trust, Halliburton securities, Alphabet securities, Nvidia securities, World Liberty, and Affinity or Jared Kushner records. The same entity can have multiple mapped locations. A geographic marker identifies where an entity or event is recorded; it does not establish that all of its assets or activities occur at that coordinate. [27]

Glossary
Term | Meaning in this report |
|---|---|
Beneficiary | The person entitled to benefit economically from a trust under its terms. |
Trustee | The person with authority to administer trust property; that role can be separate from the beneficiary. |
Revocable trust | A trust whose governing terms permit revocation. A transfer into it does not by itself establish divestment. |
Disclosed value band | The range reported on a financial disclosure, rather than an exact market value or purchase price. |
Equity | An ownership interest. Common‑stock returns differ from the returns on a company’s debt. |
Debt security | A claim for interest and repayment under its terms, such as a bond or note. |
Market capitalization | Share price multiplied by shares outstanding at a specified time; not the same as enterprise value. |
Revenue and proceeds | Money received by a business or from a transaction. Neither automatically equals profit or personal income. |
Assets under management | Assets overseen by an investment manager. They largely belong to investors, not the manager personally. |
Management fee | Compensation paid to an adviser, often based on committed capital or assets. Gross fees are not personal net income. |
Contract ceiling | Maximum or potential contract value; distinct from funds obligated, payments made and profit earned. |
Adjusted close | Historical share‑price series adjusted for specified corporate actions or distributions; used consistently for returns. |
Potential conflict for review | A documented financial interest that may intersect with an official responsibility. It is not a finding of unlawful conduct. |
Causation | Evidence that an action produced an outcome. |
Quid pro quo | An exchange of a benefit for an action. No such exchange is established merely by the timelines in this report. |
