Trump has quietly bought up to $337 million in bonds -- and his Fed pick Kevin Warsh could send their value soaring.

Unlike in his first term, President Trump has been quietly buying corporate and municipal bonds since he returned to the White House in 2025.

In March alone, Trump reportedly carried out 175 financial transactions, most of which were bonds issued by states, counties, school districts and public agencies, according to disclosures required by the Office of Government Ethics.

According to Reuters, the total value of bond purchases in his portfolio is over $337 million — many of which are in sectors that could benefit from his policy decisions (2).

Trump also acquired Intel bonds after directing the federal government to acquire a 10% stake in the chipmaker, Reuters reports. And he purchased up to $2 million in Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery bonds shortly after the announcement of a $72 billion merger (3).

Conflict of interest, it's what Trump is having for dinner.
