On May 31, a video clip from last December of Trump praising IBM CEO Arvind Krishna during a roundtable meeting at the White House has gone viral again. In the video, Trump stated that IBM's stock price has risen from a low point to a decent level and predicted that 'it will rise even more.' The renewed interest comes after IBM received a $1 billion funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CHIPS Act for a quantum chip factory on May 21. This positive news led to a consecutive week of increases in IBM's stock price, with a rise of approximately 17.7%, nearing historical highs. Notably, Trump has not only verbally praised IBM but has also quietly purchased a small amount of IBM stock. Recently disclosed financial documents from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Form 278-T for the first quarter of 2026 reveal that Trump's trust bought a share of IBM stock on March 21, although the amount was not large, falling within the $15,001 - $50,000 range.

On May 31, Trump posted on the Truth platform stating, 'The results of my physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center have just been released, and they are very favorable. Unlike other presidents who have never undergone any approved high-difficulty cognitive tests, I achieved a perfect score of 30, which is considered 'very high intelligence.' In fact, this is my fourth time taking such a test, and I have achieved perfect scores each time, answering all 120 questions correctly out of 120! Very few people can achieve a perfect score, especially in the case of accomplishing this four times in a row, which is indeed rare. All candidates for the presidency and vice presidency should be required to take high-difficulty cognitive tests.' Public information shows that Trump underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), which primarily screens for cognitive decline and is not a tool for measuring 'smartness' or IQ.

On May 31, the title of 'stock god' has increasingly resonated with Trump, following his notable operations with Micron, Dell, and Intel. However, there are rising concerns in the market regarding Trump's alleged use of presidential power to benefit his portfolio companies. Despite the 'stock god' aura, Trump still has significant holdings that are currently underwater. BlockBeats has compiled a list of Trump's top five stuck stocks, each with over a million dollars in holdings, based on the financial documents disclosed by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on May 14. 1. FIS (Fidelity National Information Services Inc), which provides payment processing, banking core systems, and transaction clearing services to institutional users. Trump made six large purchases in Q1, but the company's stock has continued to underperform, with an estimated loss of 42.8%. 2. ACN (Accenture), a globally recognized consulting and IT services company. Trump made nine large purchases in Q1, averaging $1.46 million each, with an estimated loss of 32.5%. 3. KRUS (Kura Sushi USA Inc), an American conveyor belt sushi restaurant chain operator. Trump made one large purchase in Q1, averaging $3 million, with an estimated loss of 31.7%. 4. SYK (Stryker Corporation), a medical technology company specializing in orthopedic implants, surgical equipment, and neurotechnology. Trump made six large purchases in Q1, averaging $1.01 million each, with an estimated loss of 25.9%. 5. PTC, an industrial software company providing CAD, PLM, IoT, and augmented reality software. Trump made six large purchases in Q1, averaging $3.08 million each, with an estimated loss of 24%. From this summary, it can be observed that most of Trump's heavily invested stuck stocks belong to AI-replacement industries, which may explain their poor performance amid the AI boom. While the authenticity of the doubts surrounding Trump remains unverified, the market might anticipate unexpected positive developments for these stocks.

According to Cointelegraph, the ECB released another working paper on the digital euro, providing an extensive technical analysis of a potential European CBDC and its position in the existing financial system.
Issued on May 13, the working paper aims to study issues like financial intermediation, payment choices and privacy in the digital economy, providing a large number of related algebra-based conclusions.
The study suggests that a “CBDC with anonymity” is preferable to traditional digital payments like bank deposits but it “may become supplanted” by digital currencies, or “payment tokens” issued by technology giants.
“This risk would be particularly tangible if those platforms compete with banks in the market for financial services. However, an optionality for data sharing features may result in a widespread CBDC adoption,” the working paper reads.
