The president made purchases ranging from $1 million to $5 million in tech giants such as Oracle, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Alphabet—all of which have inked government contracts or made high-profile commitments — according to financial disclosure forms.

Trump’s other large tech investments ranging between $1 million and $5 million included software company ServiceNow, semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom, software company Cadence Design Systems, Adobe, Motorola, Dell and Uber.

Defense companies including Palantir, Axon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman were also listed in the disclosure, with Boeing receiving investments between $1 million and $5 million, in addition to two investments from the president ranging from $15,000 to $50,000.

Trump also purchased millions of dollars worth of securities in Comcast, Costco and manufacturing companies like Procter & Gamble and Jabil Inc.

Critics pointed out Trump’s purchase of Nvidia shares came shortly before the government cleared chip sales to certain Chinese firms.

The president also purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock before he promoted the company in a Truth Social post, writing, “Palantir Technologies has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment.”
