A Dell spokesperson confirmed the company plans to provide a one-time $1,000 contribution to the Trump Accounts of eligible employees' children.
Launched on July 4, Trump Accounts are designed to help children build wealth. The government deposits $1,000 for babies born between 2025 and 2028 who are US citizens. Companies like Goldman Sachs, Micron, and Chipotle have previously announced matching contributions.
Michael Dell, founder of Dell Technologies, stated in a Fox News interview that he believes such donations will become "a standard benefit" at many companies. Dell noted the company is still working through logistics and guidance from the US Treasury.
The move highlights close ties between Dell and the program: the Dell family foundation has donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, and President Trump has frequently endorsed buying Dell computers.
