President Donald Trump disclosed a July purchase of Strategy shares as his administration continues to advance crypto policy through federal regulators and Congress.
President Donald Trump disclosed purchasing $50,001 to $100,000 worth of Strategy shares in July, according to a US Office of Government Ethics filing released Tuesday.
The filing shows Trump bought $50,001 to $100,000 worth of Strategy shares on July 27, following a smaller $1,001 to $15,000 purchase three days earlier. Strategy is the world’s largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, with 846,000 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net data.
Trump also disclosed transactions involving several other crypto-linked companies, including a Coinbase stock purchase and sales of Bitcoin miners MARA Holdings and CleanSpark in July. The July 27 Strategy purchase was the largest of the crypto-linked transactions identified in the filing.

The transaction matched Trump’s largest previously disclosed Strategy purchase, a $50,001 to $100,000 buy on Feb. 12, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET. His accounts have also reported several smaller purchases and sales of Strategy shares this year.
The filings do not show how many Strategy shares remain in Trump’s portfolio, as transactions are reported in value ranges rather than as a running share balance.
The Strategy purchase represented a small portion of Trump’s broader portfolio activity in July. The filing shows sales of $5 million to $25 million each of Microsoft and Amazon stocks on July 20, along with several purchases and sales valued at between $1 million and $5 million.
On Tuesday, the White House told CNBC that Trump’s stock and bond portfolio is independently managed by third-party financial institutions, without input from Trump or his family.
Strategy shares have rallied nearly 30% over the past five trading days and about 37% over the past month, according to Yahoo Finance data.

Trump’s Strategy disclosure comes as his administration has pursued a series of policies aimed at supporting the US crypto industry, even as comprehensive market structure legislation remains stalled in Congress.
