Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy and chaired by Bitcoin maximalist Michael Saylor, committed to the Invest America Business Pledge on August 5, promising a $1,000 one-time match for newborns of US employees and $250 in annual contributions for each eligible child until they turn 18. The accounts in question are so-called Trump Accounts, formally known as 530A accounts, which are tax-deferred investment vehicles created under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
How the Trump Accounts work
Under the federal legislation, every child born between 2025 and 2028 receives a $1,000 government seed deposited into a 530A account. The money gets invested in low-fee US equity index funds.
Strategy’s pledge layers on top of that government seed. For each newborn child of a US employee born after January 1, 2025, the company will match the government’s $1,000. Then it kicks in $250 annually for every eligible child until their 18th birthday.
The actual contributions won’t begin until the US Treasury provides final guidance and the necessary infrastructure is built out.
