Trump's Oil and Gas Holdings Reportedly Gained Up to $15.5 Million Amid Rising Energy Prices
Democratic staff from Congress' Joint Economic Committee reported that President Donald Trump’s oil and gas stock holdings increased by approximately 39% this year, potentially adding up to $15.5 million in value amid rising energy prices linked to the war with Iran. According to disclosures, Trump held between $12.5 million and $45.6 million in these stocks as of 2025, which were estimated at a higher range by August 17. The report highlights that major holdings included Exxon Mobil and Chevron, while shares of Valero Energy and Marathon Petroleum more than doubled year-to-date. The Trump Organization stated that investment decisions are made independently by financial institutions managing his accounts without input from the president or his family. Federal disclosures do not provide exact figures for asset values. The findings contribute to ongoing scrutiny over Trump’s extensive trading activity, with Democrats planning further investigations if they regain control of either chamber in November midterms.
