The Washington Post has released a detailed account of donors who funded the construction of the Trump administration's White House ballroom, confirming that major technology companies were among the largest contributors. According to the report, Nvidia, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta together provided $92 million.
Total contributions from Silicon Valley and the crypto industry exceeded $150 million, the newspaper found. The donations came from a mix of individuals, charitable organizations tied to major firms, and direct corporate contributions. Google's $22 million donation was part of a controversial settlement, though further details of that arrangement were not disclosed.
The ballroom project had previously attracted attention after reports emerged that several tech companies were helping to fund it. The Washington Post's investigation now provides the first comprehensive breakdown of who gave what. The list of donors includes both household tech names and lesser-known entities within the cryptocurrency space.
Neither the White House nor the companies named have commented publicly on the specific figures reported.
