What happened
President Donald Trump formally launched Trump Accounts, federally backed investment accounts for children, after the program opened through a Treasury app on July 4. Eligible U.S. children born from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2028, receive a tax-deferred account with a $1,000 government seed deposit. Trump marked the first trading day by ringing the opening bells for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq from the Oval Office. Parents, employers and others can add funds for later use on education, a home purchase or retirement.
