Strategy has decided to pay $250 (about 354,500 won) a year into a 'Trump Account' for the children under 18 of its U.S. employees.

CoinPost, a blockchain media outlet, reported on Wednesday that Strategy said it would take part in a corporate savings programme under the U.S. government's childcare support policy Invest America.

All children under 18 of its U.S. employees are eligible. Strategy plans to deposit $250 a year into Trump accounts in their names. The official name of a Trump account is a '530A account', a tax-advantaged investment account for children under 18. The funds are structured to be managed in low-cost U.S. index funds.

Additional support is provided for children born after Jan. 1, 2025. Strategy decided to make an additional one-time deposit equal to a $1,000 (about 1,417,000 won) contribution paid by the U.S. Treasury. The federal government operates a scheme that pays $1,000 in a lump sum when an account is opened for children born between 2025 and 2028.

Phong Le (퐁 레), Strategy's chief executive officer, expressed the view that Trump accounts and Invest America could support the formation of future assets for U.S. children. He also mentioned technical measures to make the accounts easier to use and expressed expectations for financial education, long-term thinking and the spread of a savings and investment culture.

The move means that, separate from Strategy's status as a cryptocurrency-holding company, it has entered employee welfare and asset-building support programmes. A key feature is that the support is designed around long-term investment accounts rather than cash-like benefits. The purpose of the scheme is clear in that account management is geared toward long-term asset accumulation rather than short-term spending.

Major U.S. financial firms are also joining the programme in succession. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs have said they will provide matching contributions equal to the government's $1,000 contribution for eligible employees' children. Asset manager BlackRock and brokerage Charles Schwab are also joining with the same structure.

Early operating infrastructure is also being put in place. Bank of New York Mellon and Robinhood are reported to be taking on roles in the early operation of the accounts. As a result, Trump accounts are showing a trend of expanding into a long-term asset-building platform with participation by companies and financial firms.

The support plan presented by Strategy combines regular annual contributions with a one-time payment at birth. Attention is focused on whether support using investment accounts in children's names will spread in competition over employee welfare in the United States.
