US President Donald Trump recently invests in Netflix, buying $2 million in bonds from the streaming giant. The purchases occurred just a week after Netflix announced its proposed merger with Warner Bros Discovery.
Financial disclosures show that Trump also purchased a range of municipal and corporate bonds from mid-November to late December. Most of these were municipal bonds issued by cities, local school districts, hospitals, and utilities.
Alongside Netflix, Trump invests in Netflix and other major companies including Boeing, Occidental Petroleum, and General Motors. These corporate bonds were part of a $100 million portfolio expansion reported while he was in office.
Trump’s bond investments include sectors that could benefit from federal policies, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. For example, he stated in December that he could influence whether Netflix proceeds with its $83 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery. The deal is currently facing competition from a rival bid by Paramount Skydance and will require regulatory approval.
A White House official, speaking anonymously, clarified that Trump’s bond portfolio is independently managed by third-party financial institutions. Neither Trump nor his family members have the ability to direct or influence how the portfolio is invested.
Experts note that wealthy individuals, like Trump, frequently invest in corporate bonds as part of a diversified strategy. This approach includes both municipal and corporate debt instruments, offering a stable return alongside other assets.
Trump had previously disclosed at least $82 million in bond purchases between late August and early October, highlighting his ongoing focus on fixed-income investments.
The recent acquisition of Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery bonds underscores Trump’s continued interest in high-profile corporate investments. Analysts say such moves reflect a broader strategy to maintain diversified holdings across municipal and corporate debt markets.
Overall, Trump’s portfolio expansion demonstrates both his engagement with corporate bonds and his interest in major media companies, as he invests in Netflix alongside other prominent corporations.
