President Trump Executed Over a Dozen Microsoft Trades in Q1 Ethics Filing
President Trump executed over a dozen trades of Microsoft shares during Q1 2026 as part of a $50-70 million portfolio rotation among Magnificent Seven stocks. The ethics disclosure’s use of broad value ranges leaves his net Microsoft position unclear even as trading coincided with public endorsements of major tech firms.
1. Ethics Disclosure Reveals Magnificent Seven Trades
The first-quarter ethics filing lists 94 Magnificent Seven transactions valued at $50 million to $70 million, spanning 64 buys and 30 sales executed by the presidential account.
2. Microsoft Transactions Breakdown
More than a dozen Microsoft trades were executed during Q1, but broad reporting ranges prevent clarity on net share changes for the company’s stock.
3. Disclosure Ranges Obscure Net Positions
The use of value bands for stock sales leaves it unclear whether the president ended the quarter with more or fewer Microsoft shares.
4. Conflict of Interest Concerns Raised
Watchdog groups question whether concurrent public endorsements of tech firms and high-frequency trading by the president’s account pose ethical issues.
