Trump Accounts Are Live. Here's What You're Allowed to Buy
Parents and guardians have a golden opportunity to set their children on the path to financial freedom.
Overview
Trump Accounts officially launched on July 4, 2026. Created as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, they function like an individual retirement account (IRA) for eligible American children under 18. The U.S. Treasury will even deposit the first $1,000 in accounts opened for children born from 2025 through 2028.
The government wants parents and guardians to invest in their children's financial futures earlier, when there's more time for that money to grow and compound. But unlike typical brokerage accounts, Trump Accounts don't offer a broad selection of stocks, bonds, or funds to choose from.
