The Trump administration is preparing to sell stock in mortgage giants Fannie Mae FNMA -3.74 %decrease; red down pointing triangle and Freddie Mac FMCC -1.66 %decrease; red down pointing triangle in an offering it believes could raise around $30 billion and kick off later this year, according to people familiar with the matter.

The plans being discussed by some administration officials could value the companies at roughly $500 billion or more combined and involve selling between 5% and 15% of their stock, some of the people said. Still up for debate is whether the mortgage giants would IPO as one company or two separate entities.
