Today in Crypto: Trump Discloses 327 Stock Purchases Made One Day Before His Tariff Pause Rally

In the current cycle, president Donald Trump’s investment accounts made 327 previously undisclosed stock purchases worth as much as $12.8 million on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise tariff pause sent the S&P 500 up 9.5% in its eighth-best session in history, a new filing shows.

The purchases surfaced in the president’s annual financial disclosure report, a 927-page spreadsheet-style document filed with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) this week and first reported by NBC News journalists Steve Kopack and Gabe Gutierrez.

The trades appear scattered throughout the filing, and none of them had been reported before now.

The timing of the development comes as federal ethics law requires senior officials to report securities transactions within 45 days on periodic transaction reports known as 278-T forms.

Trump filed no such reports for the April trades or for most of his 2025 transactions, meaning the April 8 buying spree stayed out of public view for more than 14 months.

The penalty for missing the deadline was capped at just $200.

An OGE reviewer flagged the gap directly in the document, noting: “The filer paid late filing fees related to transactions not previously reported on 278-Ts.” The 327 individual purchases included shares of Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon and Alphabet, each valued at as much as $250,000, alongside scores of other companies.

Because federal disclosures report holdings in ranges rather than exact figures, the true total sits somewhere below the $12.8 million ceiling.
