Trump's energy stock holdings estimated to have increased in value by $1.5 million to $4.4 million during the Iran war.

BlockBeats News, September 9 — According to CNBC, President Trump's disclosed holdings in the nine largest oil and gas companies are estimated to have appreciated by $1.5 million to $4.4 million between February 27 and August 31, ahead of the outbreak of the Iran war. The holdings include Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, and several refining and pipeline companies.

Trump's investment account continued to buy and sell energy stocks during the war. As of June 29, the account reported at least 23 related stock sales. On the first trading day following the initial U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on March 2, his account purchased shares in eight oil and gas companies, including Exxon Mobil stock valued at $100,000 to $250,000.

On March 23, Trump delayed strikes on Iranian energy facilities before market open, and Brent crude fell nearly 11% that day. His account reported 16 oil and gas stock purchases that day, totaling approximately $163,000 to $570,000. On April 7, his account sold Exxon Mobil stock valued at $500,000 to $1 million; roughly two and a half hours later, Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, and the stock fell more than 6% at the next day's open.

Since the disclosure filings do not provide exact share counts, transaction prices, or sale batches, the above estimates do not represent actual realized profits or current precise holdings. CNBC also found no evidence that Trump directed trades, had advance knowledge of related decisions, or that personal interests influenced policy. The White House stated that the portfolio is entirely managed by independent managers.
