U.S. Lawmakers Cashed In on Crypto in 2025: Who Made the Most?

The year 2025 was a wild ride for crypto markets. Bitcoin soared above $126,000 in October, while the market experienced intense volatility and uncertainty. Amid this chaos, a select group of U.S. politicians decided not to sit on the sidelines. And some of them walked away with serious profits.

Mike Collins: Georgia’s Altcoin Strategist Republican Congressman Mike Collins emerged as one of the most active crypto traders in Congress. Beyond his purchases of Ethereum worth tens of thousands of dollars, Collins wasn’t afraid to take on riskier bets. He repeatedly invested in the meme coin Ski Mask Dog in late 2024 and early 2025. The result? Several of those positions surged over 100%, and he realized gains through partial sell-offs.

Brandon Gill: Texas’ Bitcoin Bull Texas Republican Brandon Gill chose a more focused strategy—Bitcoin only. His public disclosures revealed direct BTC purchases totaling between $1.15 and $2.6 million. His timing was key: Gill bought during market dips, often under $100,000 per coin. While some of his early positions appeared to be in the red, Bitcoin’s recovery later made him one of the most heavily exposed lawmakers to BTC.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: ETF Tactician with a BlackRock Edge Controversial Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene opted for a more traditional route—investing in the iShares Bitcoin Trust from BlackRock. She added to her positions throughout the year, including during November’s downturn. While her strategy didn’t yield sky-high returns, her diversified portfolio ensured she stayed afloat.

Other Notable Players 🔹 Carol Miller and Lloyd Doggett reported smaller transactions totaling over $100,000, primarily for diversification

🔹 Senator David McCormick disclosed ETF purchases that only generated modest returns

Politics, Crypto, and Conflict of Interest? What makes these trades especially interesting is their timing—many coincided with pro-crypto reforms under President Donald Trump, including: 🔹 The creation of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

🔹 Approval of landmark stablecoin legislation

🔹 Tax benefits for long-term crypto holders This overlap hasn’t gone unnoticed. Critics argue that lawmakers with significant crypto holdings may benefit financially from legislation or regulation they themselves help enact. This raises the question: Is this smart investing—or political insider trading?
