As lawmakers across Capitol Hill scramble to position themselves within America’s evolving crypto landscape, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has made her stance crystal clear. The firebrand congresswoman recently dropped between $15,001 and $50,000 on iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) on March 3, 2025, according to her March 9 filing. Not her first rodeo either – she already dabbled with a smaller Bitcoin investment back in January.
Timing is everything in politics. Greene’s Bitcoin shopping spree aligns perfectly with the Trump administration‘s newfound love affair with crypto. The president’s executive order on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has Washington buzzing, and Greene’s wallet seems to be following the administration’s lead. Convenient, right?
Lawmakers investing in Bitcoin just as Trump embraces crypto? Shocking coincidence. Follow the money, not the mouth.
Greene’s been waving the crypto flag for a while now. She co-sponsored the FIT21 bill (very pro-crypto, according to her), slammed Biden’s digital dollar plans, and defended crypto wallet owners when Canada cracked down on them. Her investment portfolio now matches her political talking points. This position resonates with her base as Republican voters oppose stricter cryptocurrency regulations. Greene has directed the largest allocation of funds toward Bitcoin among her various investments including Tesla, CrowdStrike, and Goldman Sachs. Funny how that works.
The 2025 Congress is practically a crypto fan club after the 2024 elections. Lobbying money talks. The industry opened their checkbooks during campaign season, and now bipartisan support for crypto is all the rage. Greene’s savvy investment comes as we enter what many experts call a bull market phase, with Bitcoin prices climbing steadily higher over several months. The GENIUS Act for stablecoins is making waves in the Senate, while the BITCOIN Act aims to stockpile a cool million Bitcoin for America’s reserves.
Gone are the days of crypto skepticism in the halls of power. Now it’s all about “innovation” and “regulatory clarity.” The SEC and CFTC are still fighting over who gets to be the crypto hall monitor, but the direction is clear.
Greene’s Bitcoin bet signals more than a potential payday for her portfolio. It’s a reflection of crypto’s newfound political legitimacy. When politicians start investing in something, you know the game has changed. America’s crypto future is being rewritten, and Greene’s making sure she’s got skin in the game.
