White House: Americans Pledge $125M to Trump Accounts in Five Days
The White House says Americans have invested about $125 million in Trump Accounts in the first five days since their July 4 launch. Trump Accounts are investment accounts for children born 2025–2028, with the U.S. Treasury pledging to deposit $1,000 per child. Donors include SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell (and her husband), Dell CEO Michael Dell and his wife, Ray Dalio and his wife, Altimeter Capital’s Brad Gerstner, and Nicki Minaj; companies like Goldman Sachs, Micron, and Bank of America have also announced contributions. The push has attracted attention as a major early showing of private funding for the program.
