Week of 2026-07-02
Thirty executive-branch trades surfaced this week, headlined by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman's series of multimillion-dollar purchases of stock in Shift4 Payments, the company he founded before taking office.
The Big Picture
This week's batch covers 30 disclosed transactions from seven senior executive-branch officials. Selling outpaced buying, with 17 disposals against 13 purchases. The largest positions by far belong to Jared Isaacman, whose repeated buys of Shift4 Payments stock dominate the batch. No potential conflicts of interest were flagged anywhere in this week's filings.
This Week's Notable Trades
Jared Isaacman, Administrator (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)
- Disclosed buying a $5,000,001–$25,000,000 position in Shift4 Payments Inc. Class A Common Stock (FOUR) on May 12, 2026 — the single largest disclosed transaction in this batch.
- Disclosed a second Shift4 Payments purchase in the same $5,000,001–$25,000,000 range on May 11, 2026, disclosed simultaneously with the trade above.
- Three additional Shift4 Payments purchases dated March 2 and March 10, 2026 were also disclosed, each in the $1,000,001–$5,000,000 range. Isaacman founded Shift4 Payments before becoming NASA Administrator.
Donald J Trump, President (White House Office)
- A May 2026 filing disclosed a $15,001–$50,000 purchase of Intuit Inc. and sales of Flutter Entertainment PLC, Atlassian Corp. Class A, Salesforce Inc., and Meta Platforms Inc. Class A, each in the $1,001–$15,000 range.
- The filing carries a late-filing flag. The reported trade dates (November 21–23, 2026) appear to fall after the May 14, 2026 disclosure date, indicating a likely data-entry error in the original filing. The disclosure itself is dated May 2026.

- Disclosed selling iShares National Muni Bond ETF (MUB) three times in March 2026 — twice on March 27 and once on March 20 — each in the $1,001–$15,000 range.

The Fine Print
Data derived from public STOCK Act disclosures. Disclosure date is not the trade date (filings lag 30-45 days). Dollar figures are disclosed ranges, not exact amounts. Conflict-of-interest flags are heuristic "potential overlaps," not assertions of wrongdoing. Not investment advice.
