This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Donald Trump's financial disclosure for July reveals 1,156 securities transactions, encompassing purchases and sales across various companies. The total value of these transactions ranged between approximately $79 million and $270 million, according to a CNBC analysis.
Among the disclosed trades, Trump bought between $15,001 and $50,000 of SpaceX shares on July 10. He later sold between $1,001 and $15,000 of the same company's shares on July 17. SpaceX is a government contractor and the company of Elon Musk, a former advisor to Trump.
On July 20, Trump sold between $5 million and $25 million each of Microsoft and Amazon shares. On the same day, he also sold between $1 million and $5 million of Oracle shares. The disclosure also notes purchases of Nvidia and Northrop Grumman shares.
Disagreement on transaction details
While multiple reports confirm Trump's sale of Microsoft and Amazon shares on July 20, the exact value range differs. CNBC reported sales of between $5 million and $25 million each for both companies. Infomoney.com.br and BizToc also stated sales included Amazon and Microsoft shares that cost $25 million each. However, DiarioBitcoin reported sales of Microsoft and Amazon for up to $25 million each.
