Robinhood shares rose more than 2% Monday after the White House formally launched the Trump Accounts child savings program, with the brokerage serving as a Treasury partner alongside BNY Mellon. The gain stood apart from a broader crypto downturn that pushed Bitcoin below $62,000 during the same session.
President Donald Trump rang the opening bells at the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange during a ceremony. The program provides a federally funded $1,000 starter contribution for eligible children born between 2025 and 2028. Families can add to the accounts over time. Michael Dell said during the ceremony that he and Susan Dell are contributing $6.25 billion for 25 eligible American children through the initiative.
The stock traded near $114, up 2.1% on the day, extending its five-day advance to over 13%, according to Yahoo Finance data. Robinhood's role in the Trump Accounts program was previously covered in our analysis of the stock's recent rally.
Wall Street analysts have grown more bullish heading into the launch. Piper Sandler reaffirmed its Buy rating and a $135 price target. BTIG maintained its Buy with a $125 target. Mizuho raised its price target to $130 from $115 while keeping a Buy rating, making it the latest brokerage to lift expectations for the online trading platform.
Cryptocurrencies are not currently included in the Trump Accounts program, despite Trump's repeated public support for digital assets. Asked whether Bitcoin could eventually become part of the accounts, the president said "Something could happen." He reiterated his goal of making the United States the global crypto capital.
Not everyone welcomed the initiative. Economist and longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff argued on X that the $1,000 contributions are financed through additional federal borrowing, not new revenue. Each contribution effectively comes with extra public debt, Schiff said, meaning the same children receiving the benefit will also inherit part of that burden. He added that reducing government spending would be a better policy than expanding borrowing to fund the program.
Robinhood and BNY Mellon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
