Donald Trump bought Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) shares for the first time in June while making 1,051 separate financial transactions across stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds, according to Trumpโs latest financial filing released on Aug. 22.
The trades ranged from $78.1 million to $263.1 million as the disclosure law provides that transactions may be disclosed with ranges in value rather than with an exact dollar figure.
Trump made purchases exceeding $49 million of securities in the month under review while he had sales in excess of $28.5 million.
