Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration’s new Trump Accounts program has surged to roughly 1 million sign-ups, marking a sharp jump in participation after Wednesday's summit that featured President Donald Trump and rapper Nicki Minaj.
"We’ve now had a million people sign up for Trump Accounts just this week," Bessent said, adding that officials believe as many as 25 million families nationwide could be eligible.
Minaj, who appeared at the event, praised the milestone on social media, framing the program as a win for families and children.
Trump Accounts are designed to provide government-seeded investment accounts for American children, with the federal government contributing $1,000 per eligible child and allowing families, employers and others to add funds over time.
With the program still months from its formal launch, the administration is betting that high-profile promotion and early momentum will continue to drive sign-ups as more families learn about Trump Accounts.
