Trump doubled his wealth

United States President Donald Trump drew attention with the intensive stock market transactions he carried out in the first quarter of 2026. According to the periodic report published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump conducted nearly 3,600 buy-and-sell transactions between January and March, investing in the shares of many major companies within this scope.

One of President Trump's most notable investments was in Kura Sushi USA, the American subsidiary of the Japanese-origin restaurant chain Kura Sushi. According to official records obtained, the value of this investment ranges between 1 million and 5 million dollars. Kura Sushi USA stands out as a company that has been trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange since 2019 and possesses widespread restaurant chains in the U.S.

However, it is observed that Trump did not limit his portfolio to the restaurant sector during this period. The list of transactions also includes leading companies of the U.S. economy, such as semiconductor giant Nvidia, Adobe, a significant player in the software sector, cloud computing firm Oracle, and aircraft manufacturer Boeing.

According to the statements made, presidents are required by American law to share a certain portion of their assets with the public. Furthermore, their trading of bonds and stocks takes place within a completely legal framework. However, the fact that many of the firms Trump invested in have existing commercial agreements with the federal government was pointed out as a noteworthy detail.

The Trump family's investments also extend to different areas such as cryptocurrencies, unmanned aerial vehicles for the defense industry, critical minerals, and nuclear energy. This diversity increases the President's economic activities across various sectors.

According to reports, these stock market operations and strategic investments by Trump have led to a remarkable increase in his personal wealth. According to current figures from Forbes, Trump's net worth reached 6.5 billion dollars in 2026, recording a major leap. This amount has risen to approximately three times the 2.3 billion dollar fortune he possessed before his second presidential term began in 2024.

In conclusion, the commercial strategy Trump followed in the first months of the year allowed him to both diversify his investment portfolio and visibly increase his financial power.
