Among the crypto stocks, the family bought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-miner-mara-stock-under-pressure-following-1-5-billion-bitcoin-sell-off\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">shares in MARA Holdings<\/a> (MARA), the world\u2019s largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-coinbase-premium-red-bearish-signal\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Coinbase (COIN)<\/a>, the largest crypto exchange, and Strategy (MSTR), the world\u2019s first and <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-strategy-to-repurchase-15b-convertible-note\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">largest Bitcoin treasury.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Filing records also show nine trading entries linked to Coinbase, with the biggest single transaction executed on February 10 and valued somewhere between $100,001 and $250,000. Two smaller purchases of MARA Holdings were also recorded, with each trade below $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/strategy-stock-crashes-60-but-michael-saylor-refuses-to-step-aside\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Strategy shares<\/a> saw the most activity, with eight transactions that included both buying and selling. The largest stock purchase came on February 12, valued between $50,001 and $100,000. Meanwhile, the largest sale was recorded on January 12, with an estimated amount between $15,001 and $50,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Thousands More Trades Round Out Trump\u2019s Busy Quarter<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin-related stock purchases were only a small part of what Trump and his family traded in Q1. In total, more than 2,000 transactions took place during that quarter, with the overall value of trades estimated between $220 million and $750 million.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Bitcoin, the filing reported that Trump bought shares in some crypto and fintech stocks, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/scaling-ethereum-for-mainstream\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Robinhood (HOOD)<\/a>, Block Inc. (XYZ), PayPal (PYPL), and SoFi Technologies (SOFI). Other major transactions included purchases of major tech companies such as Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL), and Boeing (BA), with some of those trades falling in the $1 million to $5 million range.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Trump\u2019s assets are held in a family trust managed by his children, and some of the trades appear to have been handled through third-party firms rather than directly by the US President. The filing does not give exact amounts of these trades, only ranges. It also does not show whether any trades resulted in a profit or a loss.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/QyC7r2KW\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1636\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump appears to have quietly shifted his crypto focus from meme coins to Bitcoin (BTC).
