Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has disclosed a new financial transaction showing a fresh move into cryptocurrency-linked assets just weeks before she is set to leave Congress.

According to her latest filing, Greene purchased between $1,001 and $15,000 worth of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) on November 21, 2025, with the transaction to be officially reported to the House clerk in late December.

Indeed, the instability culminated in Bitcoin losing the $100,000 support zone, with part of the sell-off driven by capital outflows from leading ETFs such as BlackRock’s.

Beyond the crypto trade, the Georgia Republican has faced scrutiny for years over her investment activity. Several of her past trades attracted controversy due to their timing and overlap with federal policy decisions.

Greene’s controversial trades

Her portfolio expanded sharply during her time in office, and she made a series of well-timed bets on sectors including defense, technology, and data-analytics firms, moves that critics argued raised conflict-of-interest concerns.

Democrats on her own oversight subcommittee questioned whether she benefited from advance knowledge of market-moving decisions, including President Donald Trump’s temporary pause on tariffs.

In April 2025, she reported trades in companies such as Apple, Dell, and Lululemon within days of the tariff announcement that triggered a sharp market rebound.

The timing prompted calls for an insider-trading investigation, with critics arguing the trades mirrored a pattern seen in earlier filings where she bought shares shortly before favorable government actions.

However, Greene has repeatedly rejected accusations of improper conduct. She maintains that she has no direct role in selecting her trades, saying her investments are handled by a fiduciary financial adviser with full transparency.

Overall, the politician has been an active congressional trader, in part due to the success of her portfolio

In November, Greene announced she will resign her seat effective January 5, 2026, citing clashes with Republican leadership and broader disillusionment with Washington’s political machinery.
