President Donald Trump’s oil and gas stock holdings may have gained as much as
$15.5 million this year, as energy shares surged amid the war with Iran, according to a new report from Democrats on Congress’ Joint Economic Committee.
Trump reported owning between
$12.5 million and
$45.6 million in oil and gas stocks in his 2025 annual financial disclosure. The committee alleges those holdings rose about 39% this year on average through Aug. 17, putting their estimated value between
$17.2 million and
$61.1 million.
Among his largest reported energy holdings were Exxon Mobil
and Chevron
, while shares of Valero Energy
and Marathon Petroleum
, which he also reported holding, have more than doubled since the beginning of the year.
