Trump Orders Creation of U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund, Eyes TikTok Acquisition

President Trump has signed an executive order directing the establishment of a federal sovereign wealth fund, marking a significant shift in U.S. economic strategy.

The initiative, overseen by the Treasury and Commerce Departments, is expected to take shape within the next year and could potentially be used to acquire assets such as the widely popular social media platform TikTok, according to Bloomberg.

Sovereign wealth funds are state-owned investment vehicles designed to manage surplus revenues and ensure long-term financial stability.

While many countries, including Norway, China, and Saudi Arabia, have successfully leveraged such funds to invest in global markets—spanning equities, bonds, real estate, and other assets—the United States has never implemented one at the federal level.
