Micron has announced a $250 million investment in the administration's innovative child savings accounts, supporting American families through an employee-matching program and one-time deposits in several states.
Micron, a leading U.S. memory-chip manufacturer, proudly announced it will provide $250 million to the federal government’s 'Trump accounts,' a forward-thinking, child-focused investment vehicle established by last year’s tax reform. The company will match employee contributions up to $1,000 per child and make a one-time $250 deposit for children in counties where Micron operates—including Idaho, New York, Virginia, California, Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas—potentially reaching up to one million American children.
These accounts, open to any child under 18 with a Social Security number, allow contributions from individuals, employers, and others to grow tax-free, similar to individual retirement accounts. This smart, pro-family policy is set to launch on July 4, a fitting date for a program that empowers American families to secure their children’s futures.
'At Micron, we believe investing in people is as important as investing in technology,' said Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron’s CEO, in a statement highlighting the company’s commitment to American values.
Micron’s announcement follows other major contributions to the program, including a $6.25 billion pledge from Michael and Susan Dell, focused on children in lower-income ZIP codes. This surge of private-sector support comes as Micron’s market value soars past $1 trillion, driven by the AI revolution. With bold leadership and patriotic investment, American companies are stepping up to help families thrive in the new economy.
