Marjorie Taylor Greene Buys More Bitcoin ETF Shares Ahead Of Trump's Strategic Reserve Executive Order
Another member of Congress has disclosed buying shares of a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) ETF ahead of President Donald Trump's announcement for a planned Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
What Happened: Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently disclosed buying shares of a Bitcoin ETF, according to the Benzinga Government Trades page.
Greene follows Senator David McCormick (R-Pa.) who also recently disclosed buying shares of a Bitcoin ETF before a social media post from Trump announcing plans for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Greene's purchase of shares of iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) happened on March 3 — after Trump’s social media post, but before he signed an executive order for Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. The purchase price was $15,000 to $50,000.
In the latest disclosure, Greene also announced buying $1,000 to $15,000 worth of the following stocks:
- CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD)
- Dollar General (NYSE:DG) – $2,000 to $30,000 total from two purchases
- Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS)
- Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)
- Impinj Inc (NASDAQ:PI)
The latest disclosure from Greene continues a series of heavy trading activity in 2024 and 2025 after limited buying and selling of stocks in 2022 and 2023 while in Congress.
Why It's Important: Unlike Greene’s recent purchase of Palantir Technologies, the latest purchases don't have immediate red flags related to her congressional committee assignments.
Instead, the purchases of a Bitcoin ETF and Tesla stock could draw scrutiny due to her close relationship with President Trump and billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Greene has a role within the Department of Government Efficiency, which could give her increased access to Musk.
Trump ran on a platform of being pro-crypto during the 2024 election and his announced plans for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve don't come as a surprise. Greene's timing of the Bitcoin ETF shares still draws red flags as it was after his social media post and could have been done with knowledge of when an executive order would be signed.
For the record, Greene also bought $1,000 to $15,000 shares of IBIT back in January.
