Legislation introduced on Feb. 26 by U.S. Reps. Young Kim (R-CA) and Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) would make Trump accounts permanent and expand their eligible investment options.
“Every American deserves a stake in America’s Golden Age,” said Rep. Kim, co-chair of the Financial Literacy Caucus. “President Trump’s Trump accounts are unleashing economic opportunity by putting the power of the world’s greatest economy to work for our children and grandchildren.”
Rep. Kim sponsored the Savings and Early Exposure to Diversified Securities (SEEDS) Act of 2026, H.R. 7737, with two GOP cosponsors, including Rep. Salazar, to permanently ensure every child receives $1,000 invested in the stock market at birth via a Trump account, which they can access at age 18.
If enacted, H.R. 7737 would strengthen the program by giving families more flexibility to grow long-term savings for their children by allowing digital asset indexes to be treated as eligible investments for Trump accounts.
“There is no greater investment we can make than helping set up America’s children financially from birth,” said Rep. Salazar. “That is why I am so proud to co-sponsor the SEEDS Act. The act builds on President Trump’s economic vision to expand access to opportunity so that every child, regardless of zip code, can have a stake in the greatest economy in the world.
“By locking in these accounts permanently and expanding investment options, we are giving the next generation the tools to build wealth, pursue opportunity, and live the American Dream,” she said.
H.R. 7737 has been referred for consideration to the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee.
