President Donald Trump made more than 1,000 securities trades in June, including significant purchases of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Visa Inc., Mastercard Inc. and Cintas Corp., according to a financial disclosure published Saturday. The transactions totaled between $78.1 million and $263.1 million in the filing published by the US Office of Government Ethics, which shows a range for each transaction rather than exact numbers. The largest transaction was a June 22 sale of between $5 million and $25 million of shares in a Vanguard Group Inc. exchange-traded fund. Trump made more than 21,000 securities trades in 2025, often in bursts tied to market events he created. The total value of the trades he made in 2025 was between $600 million and $1.86 billion, occasionally showing buying and selling of the same security on the same day.

The White House says there are no conflicts of interest because Trump's investments are independently managed. Trump's son Eric, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, has said the assets were in a blind trust.
