Tech billionaire Michael Dell and his wife Susan announced a public-private partnership on Saturday, pledging $250 each to the first 25 million qualifying children who register for the newly launched federal Trump Accounts.
The investment program launched on Independence Day to provide young Americans with a financial head start in the domestic economy, according to reports from Fox Business and CNN.

The initiative, passed as a provision of new tax legislation, allows U. S.
citizens born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, to receive a $1,000 government-provided baseline investment upon enrollment.
U. S.
Treasury Department data shows that more than 6 million Trump Accounts have already been opened for children under 18, with 1.4 million qualified to receive the initial $1,000 federal pilot contribution.
"This makes every child a shareholder in the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known — American capitalism," wrote Dell in a post on X.
The Dell Technologies CEO, who previously pledged over $6 billion to the program, stated that the initiative aims to build lasting wealth through education, homeownership, and business creation.
"Through this public-private partnership, we’re giving the next generation a real stake in our economy and a path to the American Dream: education, a first home, starting a business, and building lasting wealth," Dell wrote.
