Key points
- Trump disclosed a July purchase of Strategy shares valued between $50,001 and $100,000 in his ethics filing.
- The SEC and CFTC advanced new crypto regulations two days after the Senate failed the CLARITY Act.
- The House Financial Services Committee voted 28-21 to advance a bill codifying the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
President Donald Trump disclosed a July purchase of Strategy shares in an ethics filing. The transaction valued between $50,001 and $100,000 matches his largest previous buy.
This move aligns with his administration's efforts to support the US crypto industry through federal regulators. The disclosure appears as Congress remains stalled on comprehensive market legislation.
Portfolio activity exceeds crypto holdings
The Strategy purchase was a small part of July trading activity. Trump also sold $5 million to $25 million in Microsoft and Amazon stocks.
Filings report value ranges rather than exact share balances. The White House states third parties manage these assets without family input.
Regulators advance rules after Senate failure
Federal agencies moved ahead two days after the Senate failed the CLARITY Act. The SEC cleared limited onchain trading of tokenized US stocks.
The CFTC eased registration rules for software providers accessing derivatives markets. A broader rulemaking initiative is currently under White House review.
Bitcoin reserve bill advances in House
The House Financial Services Committee voted 28-21 to advance a Bitcoin reserve bill. The legislation requires holding reserve coins for at least 20 years.
The US government holds an estimated 324,527 BTC according to Arkham Intelligence. Strategy shares gained nearly 30% over the last five trading days.
