What happened
Robinhood is administering a federal child-savings program known as Trump Accounts. The program establishes individual brokerage accounts for children born in the United States starting January 1, 2025. Each account is seeded with $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury, and the Dell family has pledged $6.25 billion to the initiative, which began distributing $250 grants in August 2026.
