Donald Trump ultimately gets the military parade he has always wanted, and Big Tech helps realize it. Over the weekend, the Trump administration will host “Great military parade“To celebrate the 250th birthday of the US Army, the first of a few events that will culminate in a pseudo-semicolon party next year. And as The Verge showedSeveral technology giants are throwing their financial support behind the effort.
According to a press release from the America250 Foundation, the congressionally appointed non -profit organization appointed to handle the security of funding for all planned parties, companies including Oracle, Coinbase, Palantir and Amazon all signed as “landmark corporate company commitments” for the cause. The organization also said that “many of these sponsors will support the next large military parade held in Washington, DC, Saturday, June 14,” although it has not confirmed which companies specifically put their money and may call the show of military strength.
Gizmodo has reached Amazon, Palantir and Oracle to comment on their commitments, including whether they will give financial support or have a presence at the “Big Military Parade”, as none of the companies outside advertised their involvement. Coinbase was less quiet about his role. As The verge Reported earlier this month, Coinbase’s chief political officer, Faryar Shirzad, announced on stage at the Bitcoin Conference of 2025, that the company will be “a main sponsor of America’s effort.”
It is unclear just how much capacity these corporate sponsors should dictate how their financial support is used in America250 effort, but one would imagine that if they did not want to be associated with the military parade at all, they would simply expect to throw their name in the ring until later. Ultimately, the main seed celebration will not take place until July 4, 2026 – more than a full year away.
