Deep Look: Trump Launches $1,000 ‘Trump Accounts’ for Every U.S. Newborn
Washington, D.C.– President Donald Trump is spotlighting a new signature initiative aimed at supporting American families: a $1,000 investment account for every newborn U.S. citizen. Branded as “Trump Accounts,” the plan is a centerpiece of the House-passed Republican domestic policy package that the administration is now working to push through the Senate.
The president will host a roundtable event at the White House on Monday with top CEOs from companies including Dell, Uber, Robinhood, Salesforce, and Goldman Sachs, who are expected to announce corporate investments into these accounts on behalf of employees’ children.
How “Trump Accounts” Work
Under the pilot program, the federal government will provide $1,000 in seed money to an investment account for every child born in the U.S. The funds will be invested in an index fund tied to the broader stock market and managed by the child’s legal guardians. In addition to the government’s contribution, guardians and private donors can contribute up to $5,000 annually.
The goal: foster long-term wealth accumulation for working and middle-class families to help with education, housing, and future family-building needs.
Administration’s Vision: Ownership Society
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the provision is a vital part of the larger economic policy proposal known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
“The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill will literally change the lives of working, middle-class families across America,” said Leavitt, citing increases to the child tax credit, historic tax cuts, and the launch of the Trump Accounts initiative.
Corporate Support Pours In
The initiative has already gained traction among corporate leaders. Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell confirmed that his company will match the government’s $1,000 contribution for all children born to Dell employees, saying:
“This bold move to an ownership society… will have profound and far-reaching benefits for the country.”
Executives from Altimeter Capital, ARM Corp, ServiceNow, and others will also attend the roundtable and are expected to announce corporate-backed investments totaling in the billions.
Strategic Push Ahead of Senate Vote
The roundtable event is more than a showcase — it’s a strategic push to build momentum for Senate passage ahead of the Fourth of July. The administration believes this package could redefine conservative domestic policy by tying economic empowerment to early-life investment.
Trump, who’s eyeing legacy-defining legislation, sees this as a generational wealth-building initiative that could transform the financial trajectories of millions of American families.
Political Implications
With polls showing economic anxiety remains a top concern for voters heading into the 2026 midterms, the “Trump Accounts” could serve as a symbolic and substantive plank in the GOP’s message: economic opportunity, not entitlements.
Though Democrats have criticized the broader bill for its spending cuts to social programs, some moderates have signaled openness to elements like the investment account pilot.
