Crypto Lawmaker’s Delayed Bitcoin Disclosure Raises Questions About Government Oversight

Representative Brandon Gill, a prominent advocate for cryptocurrency, failed to disclose his Bitcoin trades within the required 45-day window set by the STOCK Act. This comes despite Gill’s public stance in favor of digital currencies and recent purchases exceeding $500,000 in BTC during January and February. His delayed disclosure has sparked debate surrounding government oversight and potential conflicts of interest. Notably, over 62 members of Congress violated the STOCK Act for both stock and digital asset holdings in 2024, facing a maximum fine of just $200. This discrepancy between political endorsements and actual cryptocurrency investments by lawmakers raises questions about their level of financial transparency and accountability.
