What the record shows
White House tracker lists $9.6-11.2 trillion in investment commitments (as of Sept 2026); US household net worth rose ~$26 trillion from end of Biden admin through Q2 2026 per Federal Reserve Z.1.
Investment figures lack independent verification and are roughly double White House's own count. Wealth gains reflect broad market appreciation, not discrete policy-driven creation.
