U.S. President Donald Trump disclosed a stake in conveyor belt sushi operator Kura Sushi USA alongside investments in major technology companies including Nvidia, Amazon and Apple, according to a recent financial filing reported by Bloomberg.
The filing showed Trump purchased shares in Kura Sushi USA on 2 February, with the transaction valued between $1 million and $5 million.
Kura Sushi USA, which has a market value of around $600 million, is controlled by Japan-listed parent company Kura Sushi.
The disclosure also showed that Trump or his investment advisers carried out more than 3,700 trades during the first quarter. Unlike previous U.S. presidents, Trump has not placed his assets into a blind trust overseen by an independent manager.
A spokesperson for the Trump Organization told Bloomberg that the president’s assets are managed independently by third-party financial institutions responsible for investment decisions, and that neither Trump, his family nor the company are involved in trading activity.
The investment drew attention in Japan, where retail investors speculated on social media about Trump’s interest in the sushi chain.
Tokyo-listed shares in Kura Sushi rose as much as 5.4% on Monday, their largest intraday gain since June 2025.
According to the company’s latest securities filing, Kura Sushi held approximately 67% of Kura Sushi USA voting rights at the end of October last year.
