3.8 Major GPA vs 3.4 Cumulative

Recruiting for SA 2022, I have a 3.4 Cumulative GPA due to bad first semester (Built and sold a business for ~$2M) but a 3.85 Cumulative excluding that semester. Major GPA is 3.8 which is what I have been putting on my resume. Should I include both GPA's or only highlight Major and when asked explain?
