Summary
$26,500 in Amazon, Meta and Nvidia stock appeared in Byron Donalds' latest financial disclosure as his Florida governor bid courts AI and data center backers.
The filing showed more than $5,000 in Amazon, $8,500 in Meta and about $13,000 in Nvidia—companies tied to data center expansion nationwide.
A separate disclosure also showed Donalds and his wife traded $1,000 to $15,000 of Robinhood stock in March 2025; just over a month after they sold, Robinhood gave $200,000 to his Friends of Byron Donalds PAC.
Baiju Bhatt, Robinhood's co-founder and a board member, added $50,000; his new startup, Cowboy Space, is pursuing orbital data centers.
Donalds' campaign said a third party manages his portfolio and denied any conflict, but the holdings and donations add scrutiny as AI and data center politics become a live issue in Florida.
