The STOCK Act of 2012 requires members of Congress and government employees to publicly disclose when they buy or sell stocks, bonds, or cryptocurrency worth more than $1,000, and they must do so within 45 days of the transaction.
Here is a compilation of the top 5 crypto choices, and a few little-known extra choices:
Top 5 crypto choices in the US Congress
Bitcoin (BTC) is the most popular cryptocurrency held by members of Congress. Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, a leading voice on crypto issues, first bought Bitcoin in 2013. Senators Ted Cruz and Representatives Byron Donalds and Guy Reschenthaler have also invested in BTC, with some reported holdings valued as high as $250,000.
Several members of Congress, including Representative Sheri Biggs and Senator Dave McCormick, hold Bitcoin through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like those offered by Valkyrie and VanEck, as well as Ether. Additionally, Senators like Sheldon Whitehouse have invested in companies involved with Bitcoin, such as PayPal, BlackRock, and The Block (previously known as Square).
Ethereum (ETH) is another cryptocurrency owned by some members of Congress. Representative Mike Collins holds up to $60,000 worth of it, and Representative Barry Moore also owns Ethereum. Additionally, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Senator Dave McCormick have both invested in Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Representatives have disclosed holdings in several cryptocurrencies. Solana (SOL) and XRP are each valued at up to $15,000, according to Representative Guy Reschenthaler. Additionally, Representative Barry Moore and Mike Collins have disclosed holdings in Cardano (ADA), with Representative Moore’s portion valued at up to $45,000.
Little-known coins
Although the top 12 cryptocurrencies are determined by market capitalization, some lawmakers have invested in lesser-known coins. For example, Representative Mike Collins bought Ski Mask Dog (SKI), and Representative Madison Cawthorn both owned and publicly supported LGB Coin.
Other cryptocurrencies like The Graph (GRT), Velodrome (VELO), and Aerodrome Finance (AERO) also fall into this group.
Over the last day, these cryptocurrencies have all increased in value by 1.8% to 4%, likely due to changes in global political and economic conditions.
SKI, however, stands out, having dropped 2.86%.
