Company launches employee matching and community seed funding, reinforcing Micron’s broader U.S. investment and workforce development strategy
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today announced a $250 million investment to increase long-term savings opportunities for children and families through Trump Accounts (also known as 530A Accounts).
As part of this initiative, the company is launching an employee matching benefit for contributions up to $1,000 per child under 18. Additionally, Micron will provide a community benefit of a one-time $250 seed deposit for children with Trump Accounts where Micron operates in Idaho, New York, Virginia, California, Colorado, Minnesota and Texas.
Micron’s investment is the largest corporate commitment of its kind and is expected to support up to one million children. Most of the funding will benefit children and families in communities where Micron operates, expanding long-term financial opportunities for the next generation.
The program complements Micron’s previously announced investment of over $200 billion in U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D, creating over 90,000 U.S. jobs. Together, these investments reflect Micron’s sustained commitment to strengthening the nation’s semiconductor ecosystem and the workforce that supports it.
“At Micron, we believe investing in people is as important as investing in technology,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron Chairman, President and CEO. “As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this investment is about helping children build a strong foundation for future opportunity while supporting the workforce and communities that will shape U.S. semiconductor leadership. We appreciate President Trump and Secretary Bessent for establishing these accounts, which give Micron another meaningful way to support children and families as they plan for the future.”
“Trump Accounts are a transformative policy initiative that will help unlock the American Dream for millions of children. It is encouraging to see our nation’s leading companies, including Micron, supporting this effort by stepping up to help children in the communities and offering matching contributions for their employees,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, momentum continues to build as more companies and institutions participate, helping the next generation of Americans become shareholders in the world’s most vibrant capital markets.”
