White House to launch Trump Accounts on July 4

The Treasury says more than 6 million families have already requested accounts ahead of the launch.

  • On July 4, the Treasury Department will launch Trump Accounts, also known as 530A accounts, providing eligible children born between 2025 and 2028 a $1,000 initial seed deposit.
  • Tech CEO Michael Dell and his wife, Susan, pledged $6.25 billion to provide $250 grants to children in low-income ZIP codes, while Treasury's seed deposit reaches 186,900 children in New York City.
  • Parents and guardians can contribute up to $5,000 annually, with employers adding up to $2,500, allowing Trump Accounts to grow to $243,000 by age 55 without further contributions.
  • Certified financial planner Douglas Boneparth of Bone Fide Wealth advises families to compare these accounts against 529 plans or Roth IRAs, cautioning that reaching high balances requires "fairly strong, uninterrupted market returns."
  • Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner argues the initiative creates wealth-building opportunities for all children, though The Urban Institute warns low participation among low-income families could widen existing wealth disparities.
