美国总统唐纳德·特朗普名下金融账户单月完成的交易笔数,接近财政部长斯科特·贝森特名下账户去年全年交易量的40倍。贝森特是一位拥有数十年从业经验的华尔街老将。
据《商业内幕》最先报道,特朗普本周早些时候向美国政府道德办公室(Office of Government Ethics,OGE)提交了一份报告,披露了其名下账户在7月份进行的1,156笔交易,其中包括440笔买入和716笔卖出。根据《财富》杂志对该报告的分析,这些交易的总金额介于7,900万美元至2.7亿美元之间。报告未披露每笔交易的确切金额。
相比之下,贝森特披露的2025年全年交易量仅为29笔。
根据美国政府道德办公室的一份报告,贝森特的这些交易全部为卖出。其中多笔涉及他所持有的Key Square相关实体权益。Key Square是他于2015年创立的一家对冲基金,后因进入内阁而离职。其他交易则包括卖出威瑞森(Verizon)和阿彻丹尼尔斯米德兰(Archer Daniels Midland)等公司的个股。报告还指出,贝森特的丈夫约翰·弗里曼持有的一笔摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase)股份,此前还曾被误报为存款账户,后来作了调整。
贝森特在同意出任财政部长时承诺,将剥离可能与其新职务产生利益冲突的资产。
至于特朗普的这些交易,白宫一名发言人此前向《财富》杂志表示,总统的资产托管在一个由其子女管理的信托中。该发言人还补充道,交易量之所以如此庞大,是因为相关账户使用了第三方的“基于计算机模型构建的投资组合”,这些组合会自动复制嘉信1000指数(Schwab 1000)等公认指数。
白宫未立即回应《财富》杂志的最新置评请求。
美国联邦利益冲突法《美国法典》第18编第208条规定,大多数联邦官员不得从事会影响其个人财务利益的行为,但这一规定并不适用于总统和副总统。进入第二任期以来,特朗普名下账户的交易量显著增加。提交给美国政府道德办公室的一份披露文件显示,在他重返白宫后的第一年,其名下账户共记录了超过2.1万笔交易。
美国总统在任期间继续持有一个频繁交易个股的投资组合,这确实并不常见。美国政府道德办公室前主任沃尔特·绍布2017年在讲话中表示,自国会通过1978年《政府道德法案》(Ethics in Government Act)以来,历任现代美国总统要么设立盲目信托,要么将投资限制在多元化共同基金等无利益冲突的资产上。
在特朗普首个任期内辞去美国政府道德办公室主任职务几个月前,绍布在布鲁金斯学会(Brookings Institution)发表讲话时表示,特朗普在任期间处理个人财务的方案,“达不到他提名的最优秀人选所遵循的标准,也达不到过去40年来每一位总统都遵循的标准。”
特朗普名下账户如此庞大的交易规模,也招致一些政界人士的批评。马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗伯特·加西亚在致特朗普的联名信中称:“如此庞大的交易量,加上一些交易发生的时间点,不禁让人怀疑:你是否在利用自己掌握的政府活动信息、官方权力,或总统职位带来的巨大话语权进行投资或影响市场,从而为个人牟利。”
与此同时,特朗普表态支持对美国国会议员股票交易施加新限制。特朗普政府今年7月表示,“强烈支持”《禁止内幕交易法案》(Stop Insider Trading Act)。该法案拟禁止国会议员及其家属在任期间购买公司股票。部分民主党议员反对这项法案,因为法案还包含一项旨在对联邦选举投票增设身份证明要求的条款。
尽管众议院已于今年夏天通过该法案,但目前该法案仍在参议院审议。该法案对股票交易的限制并不适用于总统和副总统。(财富中文网)

President Donald Trump’s financial accounts made nearly 40 times as many trades in one month as those belonging to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a Wall Street veteran with decades of experience.
Trump earlier this week disclosed 1,156 transactions made by accounts in his name in July, including 440 purchases and 716 sales, according to a report filed with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), first reported by Business Insider. In total, his transactions represented at least $79 million and at most $270 million in trades, according to a Fortune analysis of the report. The exact dollar amount associated with each trade was not disclosed.
In comparison, Bessent disclosed just 29 transactions for all of 2025.
All of Bessent’s transactions were sales, according to an Office of Government Ethics report. Several of the transactions involved his interests in entities related to Key Square, the hedge fund he founded in 2015 and left to join the administration. Others were sales of individual stock in companies like Verizon and Archer Daniels Midland. A JPMorgan Chase stake owned by Bessent’s husband, John Freeman, was also inadvertently reported as a deposit account previously and was adjusted, according to the report.
Bessent agreed to divest assets that could conflict with his new role when he agreed to become Treasury secretary.
As for Trump’s transactions, a White House spokesperson previously told Fortune the president’s assets are held in a trust managed by his children. Meanwhile, the large number of transactions is the result of third-party “computer-based model portfolios that automatically replicate recognized indexes, such as the Schwab 1000,” the spokesperson told Fortune.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fortune’s latest request for comment.
Federal conflict of interest law 18 U.S. Code 208 legally prevents most federal officials from acts affecting a personal financial interest, but this doesn’t apply to the president and vice president. Trump’s volume of trading has ramped up during his second term. A disclosure filed with the OGE showed the president’s accounts recorded more than 21,000 transactions during his first year back in office.
To be sure, it’s unusual for a president to maintain ownership of an actively traded portfolio of individual securities while in office. Since Congress passed the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, all modern presidents have either adopted a blind trust or limited their investments to nonconflicting assets like diversified mutual funds, said Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, in 2017 remarks.
Just months before resigning as director of the OGE during Trump’s first term, Shaub said in remarks at the Brookings Institution that Trump’s plan to handle his financials while in office, “doesn’t meet the standards that the best of his nominees are meeting and that every president in the past four decades has met.”
The scale of transactions stemming from Trump’s accounts has also prompted criticism from politicians like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who in a letter to Trump said: “The sheer volume of this trading activity and the timing of a number of transactions, raise questions about whether you are using your knowledge of government activities, your official authority, or the vast megaphone provided by the Presidency to make investments or move markets to your personal benefit.”
Meanwhile, Trump has backed new restrictions on stock trading for members of Congress. The Trump administration in July said it “strongly supports” the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would prohibit members of Congress and their families from buying stock in companies while in office. The bill was opposed by some Democratic lawmakers because it includes a provision that would impose new ID requirements for voting in federal elections.
While the House passed the bill this summer, it is still being considered by the Senate. The bill’s restriction on trading would not apply to the president and vice president.
