**Institutional Activity:** President Trump's latest financial disclosure reveals a flurry of trading activity in June, with over 1,000 transactions executed, encompassing both purchases and sales. Notable among these were investments in Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.B+WL) and sales of Meta Platforms ($META+WL) stock. This activity took place against a backdrop of broader market strength, with the S&P 500 showing a gain of roughly 28% since January 2025.
The disclosure, filed via OGE Form 278-T, details transactions valued between $78.1 million and $263.1 million. Over 550 transactions were purchases, and more than 450 were sales. While the White House asserts that independent managers oversee these accounts using index-tracking strategies, the volume and timing of these trades raise ethical considerations, particularly concerning potential overlaps with policy-making.
