Zhitong Finance App learned that Vlad Turnev, CEO of American online brokerage firm Robinhood (HOOD.US), said on Monday that the company plans to provide technical and financial support for the White House's “Invest America” (Invest America) program. The plan is to open a brokerage account containing $1,000 for every child born in the US.

Robin Hood revealed his participation in the program in an email press release to the media.

Earlier, US President Trump announced a pilot program to provide a government-funded $1,000 index fund account for American children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028.

The plan was announced at a White House roundtable with prominent business executives. Participants included Robinhood's Tenev, Dell founder Michael Dell, Goldman Sachs Group (GS.US) Chairman and CEO David Solomon, and Uber (UBER.US) CEO Dara Kosrosasi.

This savings account program for minors is part of the House of Representatives “Big Beautiful Bill”, which also includes large-scale tax cuts and abolishes a series of preferential green energy tax policies. The House of Representatives has passed the bill, but the Senate has yet to vote on it.
