Trump Buys $50,000 Tko Stake Before White House UFC Event

President Donald Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of tko stock on March 25, a stake in TKO Group Holdings that was later disclosed in his May 8 financial filings. The company owns UFC, and the purchase surfaced as Trump has promoted the White House card he called “the greatest show on Earth.”

Trump Disclosure and TKO

The stock purchase was made public through the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. Trump’s investments are held in a revocable trust managed by his eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, along with independent wealth management firms, and the trust is not a blind trust.

Davis Ingle said, “President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public — which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses. President Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest.”

UFC Freedom 250 At White House

UFC Freedom 250 is scheduled for June 14 on the South Lawn of the White House, with access limited to 4,000 seats. It will be the first professional sports event hosted at the White House and is set to fall on Flag Day and Trump’s 80th birthday.

Dana White said Trump will personally hand out 1,000 tickets, while White will receive 200 and TKO Group Holdings CEO Ari Emanuel will distribute 200 more. The remaining seats will go to various branches of the military, leaving a tightly controlled guest list for a show tied to the nation’s 250th birthday.

White House Tickets And Access

That mix of a personal stock buy, a public disclosure, and a White House event limited to 4,000 seats puts Trump’s TKO holding in the same frame as the card itself. The purchase was small relative to the price of the event’s spectacle, but it arrived after the fight card was already revealed and before the June 14 showcase takes over the South Lawn.
