President Donald Trump executed 517 securities trades in August, including positions in Nvidia, Microsoft and AMD stock, according to an ethics disclosure published Thursday. On the same day the filing became public, he presented national medals to the chief executives of all three companies.

The disclosure, signed by Trump on September 17, was filed with the US Office of Government Ethics and itemized buying and selling across a range of technology and consumer names throughout the month.

A Meta purchase worth up to $25 million topped the form

Nvidia featured prominently. Trump bought as much as $1.6 million of the chipmaker's shares in August and sold as much as $1 million. The filing records a purchase on August 3 of between $250,001 and $500,000, followed by another on August 17 of between $500,001 and $1 million.

The largest August line for Microsoft was an August 10 buy of $1 million to $5 million. AMD saw a single move all month: a sale of between $1 million and $5 million on August 21.

The largest line on the form overall was a Meta purchase worth $5 million to $25 million. Netflix also drew between $1 million and $5 million on August 21.

Trump additionally purchased between $1 million and $5 million of SpaceX senior unsecured notes due 2031 on August 18. Musk runs SpaceX. The president also traded shares of Tesla, Alphabet and Dell, including a Dell sale of between $500,001 and $1 million.

Trump signed the Office of Government Ethics report on September 17. The administration is debating policies that could affect Nvidia's business, including export rules governing its advanced chips.

Disclosures since January top 9200 transactions

At the ceremony in Washington on Thursday, the National Medal of Science, the country's highest scientific honor, went to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Elon Musk and Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Michael Dell received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the country's highest award for technological achievement.

"The entire world is running on Nvidia," Trump said at the event.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle said all investment decisions for the portfolio are made by independent managers. He said the accounts mirror recognized indexes such as the Schwab 1000, an index of the 1,000 leading stocks in the US market, and that there are no conflicts of interest.

The brokerage accounts are held by The Trump Organization. According to the company, the trades are selected by third-party institutions and neither Trump nor his family has any involvement.

Trump, unlike former presidents, never placed his portfolio in a blind trust, meaning he can see what his managers buy and sell, Cryptopolitan reported. Predecessors have used such arrangements: Jimmy Carter placed his family's peanut farm in a blind trust in 1977, and the trustees sold it to avoid conflicts of interest. In July, the outlet reported that at least 44 purchases were made across 21 companies about a week before Trump praised a firm or its products.

August was slower than previous months, which often saw more than 1,000 trades. His disclosures now encompass more than 9,200 transactions from January through August. According to Cryptopolitan, first-quarter filings alone included over 3,700 transactions valued between $220 million and $750 million.

US presidents can buy sell stocks while in office, provided they report the trades. The chip-export debate remains open, and future filings will continue to extend the disclosed record.
