U.S. Launches “Trump Accounts” for Children Born 2025–2028; Employers, Celebrities Pledge $1K Matches

The U.S. Treasury launches “Trump Accounts” (officially 530A) on July 4, 2026, depositing $1,000 for every child born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. Contributions from families, employers, or donors are capped at $5,000 annually per account. President Trump promoted the program at a January 28, 2026 summit alongside celebrities including Nicki Minaj. Multiple corporations and high-net-worth individuals have pledged to match contributions up to $1,000 per child, though specific participant names remain undisclosed in official Treasury releases. The accounts face unresolved tax treatment questions, with IRS guidance pending.
