July 2025 his household bought the same amount in IBIT.
One week before pro-crypto legislation passed in the House.
Disclosure came late. STOCK Act violation. Fine: 200 dollars.

200 dollars for perfect timing.

And it's not just Biggs."

That’s her second Bitcoin-related purchase in under a year.

And the CLARITY Act is sitting on her desk.

Politicians buy early too, especially when policy is about to matter."
