US President Donald Trump (Photo: AFP) US President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure offered a rare glimpse into how his personal wealth is managed, revealing that some of Wall Street’s biggest financial institutions oversee investment accounts worth at least $858 million. According to a CNBC analysis of Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, JPMorgan Chase, Charles Schwab, UBS and Stephens Inc. manage at least four of his eight disclosed investment accounts. Together, the accounts held assets worth at least $858 million this year, a sharp rise from roughly $237 million reported in 2024.

The disclosure also showed a dramatic increase in trading activity. Trump’s investment accounts recorded more than 21,000 transactions in 2025, compared with around 500 trades during his entire first presidential term between 2017 and 2021.

The brokerage also extended a credit line exceeding $50 million to Trump’s trust, of which he is the sole beneficiary. CNBC also linked JPMorgan Chase to another actively traded investment account, while UBS manages a portion of the president’s portfolio. Stephens Inc. oversees a comparatively smaller allocation valued between $1 million and $5 million. What Is Trump’s Wealth Beyond Stocks? The financial disclosure highlighted Trump’s broader business earnings, showing more than $1.4 billion in income from family ventures during the reporting period. A significant portion came from World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency company Trump co-founded with his sons. The filing reported nearly $800 million in revenue from the venture, including more than $520 million from token sales and over $250 million from the sale of ownership interests. Responding to questions about his growing wealth, Trump said, “You know why I’m profiting?
