Michael Dell on Saturday renewed support for the Trump Accounts program as it officially launched nationwide, reiterating the $6.25 billion pledge he and his wife, Susan Dell, made last year to provide $250 to 25 million qualifying American children.
The founder and CEO of Dell Technologies Inc in a post on X described the pledge as a way to give the next generation a 'real stake' in the U.S. economy.
"This makes every child a shareholder in the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known — American capitalism," Dell wrote.

In an interview with Fortune in December, Dell said his own childhood savings account sparked an early interest in saving, investing and compound interest, adding that he hoped Trump Accounts would help more children develop financial literacy.
Trump Accounts were created under President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act and officially launched nationwide on July 4.

The accounts invest primarily in low-cost U.S. stock index funds and exchange-traded funds, with beneficiaries generally unable to access the funds until they turn 18.
Micron Technology Inc also committed $250 million to the initiative last week, while SoFi Technologies Inc and JPMorgan Chase & Co have announced similar employee matching programs.
On Thursday, Trump said he believes Elon Musk will eventually donate shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp to the Trump Accounts program, though no such commitment has been announced by the company.
Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts.
