Trump touted Palantir on Truth Social after buying the companys stock, records show

General News

Summary

President Trump purchased between $247,008 and $630,000 of Palantir stock in Q1, with at least seven buys in March and sales in February that totaled as much as $5 million. He publicly praised Palantir on Truth Social shortly after those purchases as the stock fell amid a broader software selloff and scrutiny from short sellers. Several transactions were marked "unsolicited," and the Trump Organization says independent, discretionary accounts managed by third parties execute all investment decisions. Palantir, a defense-focused AI software firm, has expanded ties to the administration, and the story highlights overlap between political influence and investments in a major ISV.
