Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT)

Trump Media & Technology Group is a media company focused on prioritizing free speech. It is the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, which was created in 2022 after Trump was kicked off Facebook and Twitter in 2021. Trump is a major stakeholder of Trump Media, owning 114.75 million shares representing about 41% of the company. Trump Media shocked Wall Street in December 2025 by announcing a merger with nuclear fusion power company TAE Technologies, making Trump Media one of the only publicly traded fusion companies. Today, Trump’s stake in Trump Media is worth over $1.1 billion.

Blue Owl Capital Corp. (OBDC)

Blue Owl Capital Corporation is a specialty business development company that invests in debt and equity of middle-market commercial enterprises. The company specifically looks for investment opportunities that have favorable risk profiles, including senior secured, subordinated or mezzanine loans and equity-related instruments. Blue Owl’s goal is to generate income that can be distributed to shareholders as dividends. OBDC shares have a 13.7% dividend yield, making it an extremely attractive income source. Blue Owl Capital Corp. is an affiliate of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (OWL), another top Trump investment. Trump holds more than $5 million worth of OBDC stock.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Despite his frequent public criticisms of Big Tech, Trump also holds large stakes in several blue-chip U.S. technology stocks. Apple produces the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac computers and other personal computing devices. In addition, its Services segment includes its App Store, Apple Music, iCloud and licensing businesses. In exchange for agreeing to invest $100 billion in U.S. jobs and suppliers, Apple secured an exemption to Trump’s semiconductor tariffs. The White House website also includes Apple’s pledge to invest $600 billion in U.S. manufacturing and workforce training in its running list of Trump’s second-term accomplishments. According to Trump’s filings, he holds more than $650,000 worth of AAPL stock.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Microsoft is the world’s largest software company that is best known for Windows, Office and Azure cloud services. In January 2025, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and President Brad Smith met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss policies related to technology and cybersecurity. In May 2025, Trump’s Federal Trade Commission dropped a lawsuit against Microsoft that was launched in 2022 to challenge Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of video game publisher Activision Blizzard. In early 2026, Microsoft filed a court brief encouraging a federal court to block the Trump administration’s designation of Anthropic’s artificial intelligence technology as a national security risk. Trump reportedly owns more than $630,000 of MSFT stock.

Nvidia Corp. (NVDA)

Nvidia designs and sells high-end graphics and video processing chips used for desktop and gaming personal computers, AI applications and other advanced computing servers and supercomputers. Nvidia has been one of the best-performing stocks in the market in the past 15 years, boosting Trump’s investing returns. Trump’s export restrictions initially prevented Nvidia from selling its advanced H200 high-bandwidth memory artificial intelligence chips to China, but the administration subsequently announced H200 chip sales are now allowed if the U.S. government is paid a 25% fee. Trump reported owning at least $615,000 of NVDA stock as of his latest filings.

Blackstone Inc. (BX)

Blackstone is an alternative asset manager that specializes in raising and investing capital and providing financial advisory services. The company focuses on managing private equity funds, credit-focused funds, real estate funds, funds of hedge funds, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized debt obligations. Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman is the former chairman of Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum. In 2024, Schwarzman said U.S. policies are “taking the country in the wrong direction” and claimed a Trump vote was a “vote for change.” Trump owns stakes in BX stock in multiple investment accounts worth a combined value of more than $603,000.

Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)

Broadcom is a diversified global analog semiconductor supplier. In 2018, Trump blocked Broadcom’s acquisition of Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), citing national security concerns related to Broadcom’s relationship with third-party foreign entities. The decision certainly hasn’t held back the company’s stock. Since the beginning of 2018, Broadcom shares have generated a total return of about 1,480% compared to a return of roughly 150% for the S&P 500. Trump reportedly owns more than $580,000 in AVGO stock, which could continue to outperform if Wall Street’s seemingly insatiable appetite for AI stocks persists in 2026.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL)

Alphabet is one of the world’s largest online search and advertising companies and is the parent company of Google and YouTube. Trump has had a contentious relationship with Google. During and after his first term, he accused Google of election interference, liberal-leaning bias, and suppression of positive search results related to Trump. In September 2025, YouTube agreed to a $24.5 million settlement related to a lawsuit Trump filed after his account was suspended following the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Nevertheless, Trump owns stakes in both GOOG and GOOGL stock worth a combined value of more than $431,000.

Trump Crypto Investments

Outside of stocks, Trump also has several cryptocurrency investments. Trump reportedly holds approximately 15.75 billion WLFI tokens, representing a $1.5 billion investment in crypto firm World Liberty Financial. He also has a 70% stake in DT Marks DEFI LLC, which itself holds a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial. Companies affiliated with Trump famously launched $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins in January 2025. Trump Organization affiliate CIC Digital owns about 80% of the coins. Trump also has indirect exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) via Trump Media, which holds 11,542 BTC worth over $825 million. Finally, Trump has disclosed two cryptocurrency wallets holding Ether (ETH) worth over $1 million.

Don’t Settle for Student Loans to Pay for Online Education

By WTOP Staff
Online college programs are becoming a more popular choice for prospective students, with one study finding that more than 6 million students enrolled in at least one online course in fall 2015. The popularity of these courses can be attributed in part to their flexibility with working adults' schedules, students' ability to progress more quickly through online programs and, oftentimes, cheaper tuition. [See 10 low-cost online bachelor's programs for out-of-state students.]Online degrees can be beneficial to many college students, but some studies have shown online learners complete their programs at lower rates than students at traditional brick-and-mortar campuses. Individuals with student loans but no degree comprise two-thirds of defaulted borrowers. Though these numbers are not encouraging, just like for traditional programs, there are ways to reduce how much you'll need to borrow for an online program to ensure you won't become one of these statistics. Don't just settle on borrowing student loans to cover the whole cost of your program and living expenses. Instead, start thinking about how to cut costs and cover your balance in different ways, such as the following. -- Grants and scholarships: Even though you are taking an online course, you can still apply and receive grants and scholarships. But your first step should be to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly referred to as the FAFSA, which will allow you to receive a Pell Grant if your expected family contribution is low enough. The EFC criteria and award amounts are adjusted annually, but the 2017-2018 academic year awards range from $606 to $5,920, which could significantly lower the amount you borrow annually. Your next step is to apply for scholarships. You can start by checking online scholarship search engines, such as the Salt Scholarship Search, College Board's BigFuture and Peterson's. But don't forget to take advantage of local organizations and your school's financial aid office. Both may offer scholarships that you can't find with a national scholarship search. [Review these 10 sites to kick off your scholarship search.]For instance, organizations like the Elks Club, Knights of Columbus or the Rotary Club typically offer scholarships annually to local students. Just because you're going to school online doesn't mean you're ineligible. Visit your local library for scholarship listings, and ask around town. You might be surprised how many local organizations offer scholarships. While these scholarships typically aren't large, every little bit counts. Each dollar you receive in a scholarship is a dollar you don't have to borrow and pay interest on. -- Work-study: Another option for online students may be work-study awards. Not all students enrolled in online programs are eligible, but students at some schools -- including, for example, SUNY Empire State College and Liberty University -- are. Work-study awards are not given upfront like scholarships and grants. In most cases, they are an offer to earn up to the awarded amount if you secure an eligible work-study job. While there is a misconception that all work-study jobs must be on campus, students can work for off-campus, nonprofit or public employers as long as the work is in the public's interest. You may be able to work for a for-profit employer if the job is relevant to your course of study. No matter who the outside employer is, it will need to have an established agreement with your college for you to receive work-study funds. Remember, to be eligible for federal financial aid, you must be enrolled and pursuing a degree or certificate. If you're not working toward a credential, Pell Grants and work-study won't be option, but you may still be able to take advantage of private scholarships -- just be sure to read the eligibility criteria carefully. [Explore what to know about financial aid in online programs.]-- Pay as you go: One of the great benefits to enrolling online is the flexible schedule, which can allow you to complete your college coursework around your responsibilities. But prospective students often overlook using their part- or full-time job earnings as an option for paying for college. Almost 80 percent of college students in 2015 worked at least part time while attending classes, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. By budgeting and thinking strategically about your college costs, you can likely reduce your dependence on student loans by paying a portion out of pocket. Many -- but not all -- online programs are less expensive than traditional programs and often have shorter payment periods. Six, eight or 10 weeks are common course durations. Because of the frequency of payments in an online setting, you may be well-placed to pay as you go and possibly avoid borrowing altogether. Attending college online and avoiding student loans may be challenging, but if you are willing to put in the effort, you can limit the amount you need to borrow.
