Nearly 70M Trump Accounts auto-created for kids, parents must claim to manage and get $1,000 seed fund

Since July 4, nearly 70 million Trump Accounts have been automatically created for American children under 18, offering a one-time $1,000 federal seed contribution for eligible kids born between 2025 and 2028. Parents and guardians must claim these accounts via the Trump Accounts App to manage them and access the seed funds. The accounts invest in low-cost ETFs tracking broad U.S. stock indexes, and custodians can enable contributions from family, friends, and employers up to $5,000 annually per child. This program aims to encourage early investment and savings for children’s futures.
