Frequently Asked Questions

How were children selected for Gwynne and Robert Shotwell’s share of SpaceX stock?

Gwynne and Robert Shotwell committed ~2,000,000 shares of SpaceX stock to invest in the Trump Accounts of ~2,000,000 children born between 2009 and 2015.

Gwynne and Robert Shotwell’s contribution was based on ZIP code data, not your family’s individual income.

In 2026, Gwynne and Robert Shotwell’s gift will be national. For children born 2009 -2015, contributions began in the lowest-income ZIP codes and expanded until 2,050,000 children were reached. The final threshold was ZIP codes with a median family income of $57,000 or less, based on U.S. Census Bureau data.

Funds have also been reserved for a subset of children born 2009-2015 in the area around the 76538 ZIP code in Texas and on overseas military bases. Both will follow shortly.

How was ZIP code eligibility determined?

Under autoenrollment, the family’s ZIP code must have a median family income (MFI) of $57,000 or less, based on the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data (2020–2024 ACS 5-Year Estimates).

Online searches often show “household income,” not “family income,” and these are different numbers. Because this program is built for families raising children, family income is the measure that best applies. It reflects what families actually earn, instead of a broader number that includes people who aren’t raising children.

To check the exact MFI for a ZIP code, visit the Census Reporter median family income table, type in the ZIP code, and select it from the list.

I got a notification. Does that mean my child has a SpaceX share now?

The notification means your child is eligible, but the share hasn’t been added to the account yet. It will be deposited by the end of 2026. You do not need to take any additional action.

What is the value of my child’s SpaceX share?

SpaceX went public in June 2026, and its share price changes every weekday. You can track the value of your SpaceX share in the Trump Account app, and you can look up SpaceX’s price history (ticker SPCX) at nasdaq.com.

Can I sell my child’s SpaceX share?

The donated share has to stay in the account until whichever comes first:

  • 5 years after it was contributed, or
  • December 31 of the year the child turns 17, when the account’s “growth period” ends.

A few narrow exceptions exist. Even after the hold ends, selling doesn’t put cash in anyone’s hand. The proceeds stay in the account and go into an S&P 500-type index fund.

What Is Median Family Income (MFI)?

Median family income is the midpoint family income for a ZIP code based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020-2024 American Community Survey.

What money could be in my child’s account?

Depending on eligibility and timing, your child’s account may include:

  • Contributions from family members
  • Contributions from employers
  • Other philanthropic donations
  • Future eligible contributions
