according to TrumpAccounts.govthe program applies to children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028, and is expected to formally begin on July 5, 2026.

Treasury materials describe the accounts as long-term investments intended to grow over time, with families able to make additional contributions within the annual limits set out in the program’s guidance. The administration has pushed the initiative as a way to encourage early savings, financial literacy and long-term ownership.

The White House has leaned heavily on high-visibility promotion to drive the first push. Minaj appeared as a featured guest at a White House summit tied to the program’s rollout, an appearance that helped push the initiative across entertainment and social media threads.

Minaj publicly praised Trump, referring to herself as his “No. 1 fan” at Wednesday’s summit.

With the program still months away from its formal launch, the administration is betting that the high-profile promotion and initial push will continue to drive enrollment as more families learn about Trump’s accounts.
