“Already, more than 6 million Americans have signed up for Trump accounts—and we’ve just started—many of which are receiving a one-time seed contribution of $1,000,” Trump said, adding that the accounts “could grow to hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time they reach 18.”
The accounts are investment vehicles funded in part by the U.S. Treasury for Americans born during Trump’s term. Private contributions have also helped expand the initiative, with major donors, including Dell CEO Michael Dell, contributing funds to support additional accounts.

The money will be invested on behalf of eligible children and made available to account holders when they turn 18.
Supporters say the program could give young Americans a stronger financial foundation as they enter adulthood, while encouraging families to think generationally about saving, investment, and opportunity.
