Bitcoin treasury company Strategy has said it will contribute to Trump Accounts for the children of its U.S. employees, becoming the latest major public company to add corporate funding to the federal savings program.

The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company (Nasdaq: MSTR) said it will deposit $250 annually into a Trump Account for every eligible child under 18 of a U.S. employee, regardless of when the child was born.

For children born on or after January 1, 2025, Strategy will also make a one-time $1,000 contribution in the child’s birth year, matching the seed deposit the U.S. Treasury provides to newborns under the program.

“A strong financial future starts early. Strategy has joined the Invest America Business Pledge and will match the @USTreasury 's $1,000 @TrumpAccounts contribution for newborns of U.S. employees, plus contribute $250 annually for each eligible child. — Strategy (@Strategy) August 5, 2026

In a statement, Phong Le, Strategy’s president and chief executive officer, said, “Trump Accounts and the Invest America initiative can help build a stronger financial future for America’s children,” adding that the accounts can promote “financial education, long term thinking, and a culture of saving and investing from an early age” — goals he said align closely with Strategy’s values.

Trump Accounts were created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Trump signed in 2025, and are referred to in Treasury guidance as 530A accounts. The program launched on July 4, 2026. Each account is a tax-advantaged investment account for a child.

On July 4, the government deposited one-time $1,000 seed contributions into accounts for more than 500,000 children. Children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, who are U.S. citizens qualify for the federal deposit, and families can contribute up to $5,000 a year. Funds are locked until age 18, when the account converts to a traditional individual retirement account.

For employers, the program creates a formal channel to add to a benefit that is tied to a federal account structure rather than a private savings plan, and Strategy’s pledge shows how companies are beginning to use that channel alongside the Treasury’s own seed money. At a July Oval Office event marking the launch of the accounts, President Trump said Bitcoin could one day play a role in the Trump Accounts savings program.

Trump campaigned on a ticket to support the crypto sector and received major backing from digital asset entrepreneurs. Since taking office, he has signed a number of pro-crypto bills into law.
