United States President Donald Trump purchased at least US$51 million (A$71.38 million) in bonds in March, according to financial disclosure forms released on Saturday.
The filings, issued by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, show Trump conducted 175 financial transactions during the month.
The disclosures provide value ranges rather than precise figures, placing the combined maximum value of the bond purchases at approximately $161 million.
A significant portion of the investments was directed towards municipal bonds issued by states, counties and school districts, as well as entities linked to government agencies or public-private partnerships.
Among the largest transactions, 26 fell within the $1 million to $5 million range. These were primarily concentrated in municipal debt and U.S. Treasuries, although the president also made select corporate bond purchases, including offerings from Weyerhaeuser and General Motors.
Trump additionally invested in an exchange-traded fund tracking a high-yield bond index, signalling exposure to riskier segments of the credit market.
The disclosures show diversified corporate bond holdings across multiple sectors, including energy, technology, healthcare and financial services.
Issuers included Constellation Energy, Occidental Petroleum, Broadcom, NVIDIA, Meta Platforms and Microsoft.
Financial sector exposure included bonds from major Wall Street institutions such as Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, alongside aerospace giant Boeing.
