CNBC — Top News

A new financial disclosure shows President Donald Trump reported more than 1,100 trades during July, including sales of up to $25 million each in shares of Microsoft and Amazon.

According to the disclosure, Trump sold the tech stocks around the time so-called “Mag 7” companies — a group of major technology firms that includes Microsoft and Amazon — saw a sharp rally. The filing indicates the sales came on or around July 20, a day on which the disclosure states the group of stocks added $291 billion in combined market value.

Scope of the Disclosure

The more than 1,100 individual trades reported for the month reflect a substantial volume of financial activity disclosed under applicable reporting requirements. The disclosure lists sales in the range of up to $25 million each for the Microsoft and Amazon positions, though exact aggregate figures across the full set of July transactions were not detailed in the available reporting.

Financial disclosures of this kind are periodically required and reviewed by ethics and government watchdog groups, which monitor for potential conflicts of interest tied to a sitting president's investment activity and its proximity to major market moves or policy decisions.

It was not immediately clear what prompted the specific timing of the July sales or whether the transactions were connected to any broader portfolio rebalancing. Representatives were not immediately available to comment on the disclosure's details.

The filing is expected to draw continued scrutiny given the scale of the reported trading activity and its proximity to a period of significant gains across major technology stocks.
