U.S politician splashes $100,000 on Bitcoin in suspicious crypto trade
United States Representative Brandon Gill has disclosed an intriguing cryptocurrency purchase coinciding with a period when Congress was voting on major digital assets regulation.
According to an August 12 filing, the Texas congressman spent between $50,001 and $100,000 on iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) in a trade executed on July 17, 2025.
The timing of this Congress trade is notable, as it was the same day the U.S. House passed the landmark GENIUS Act, a bill establishing a federal framework for stablecoin regulation.

Enable signal The GENIUS Act, part of a broader digital asset legislative package, sets oversight responsibilities for payment stablecoins and aims to bring regulatory clarity to the crypto sector
Its passage triggered significant market interest in digital assets, making any same-day crypto trades by lawmakers particularly sensitive.
Gill’s other crypto purchases
Notably, this is not the first time the lawmaker has taken positions in the cryptocurrency space. Gill’s previous filings show earlier activity this year, including Bitcoin (BTC) purchases worth $100,001 and $250,000 on both June 23 and July 8, 2025.
In recent years, as cryptocurrency moves into a more regulated space, several lawmakers have increasingly invested in various digital assets. Among them is Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a vocal supporter of the sector.
Interestingly, not all politicians are focusing on established digital currencies such as Bitcoin. For instance, as reported by Finbold, Representative Mike Collins has in recent months accumulated stakes in several meme coins, known for their high volatility and lack of underlying fundamentals to support long-term growth.
