Trump may have accidentally invested millions in a sushi restaurant chain
According to journalists, Donald Trump may have invested millions of dollars in a sushi restaurant chain after mistakenly confusing it with an artificial intelligence company. The story quickly spread across social media and even affected the companies’ stock prices. The market reacted nervously, although there is no direct confirmation of the mistake, writes Futurism.
American media are reporting on an unusual investment story involving Donald Trump, who allegedly may have invested between $1 million and $5 million in Kura Sushi USA, which operates a chain of conveyor-belt sushi restaurants in the U.S., while mistakenly perceiving it as a tech company associated with artificial intelligence.
According to publicly released tax documents, Trump has recently been actively investing in major tech corporations, including Nvidia, Apple, and Dell Technologies, which has only fueled interest in his financial decisions and portfolio structure.
That is precisely why the appearance of Kura Sushi USA on the list sparked a wave of discussion in financial circles and on social media, since this company is not involved in technology at all, but rather in the restaurant business and operates dozens of sushi restaurants in the U.S.
A theory quickly emerged on Japanese social media and financial forums that the mix-up might have occurred due to the similarity between the names Kura Sushi and the Japanese tech company Fujikura, which operates in the fiber-optic and computer equipment sectors and has indeed benefited from the artificial intelligence boom. “Either Trump or his inner circle may have confused the companies due to their similar names,” users noted on financial platforms while discussing the sharp surge in interest in Kura Sushi USA shares.
Following the news, the restaurant chain’s stock rose by approximately 5.4%, while Fujikura’s shares, conversely, fell by more than 45% over the same period, although experts emphasize that there is no direct link between the investments and market fluctuations.
The financial story went viral, becoming yet another example of how even rumors or misinterpretations of actions by prominent politicians can instantly influence market behavior and investor sentiment.
