US EditionRising Texas GOP Star Failed to Report $500K in Bitcoin Trades on Time
- Texas Representative Brandon Gill violated the STOCK Act in 2025 by failing to report six Bitcoin transactions totaling up to $850,000 within the 45-day deadline.
- Gill's late disclosures, mostly from January and February, occurred despite the law's 2012 enactment to curb insider trading, and some May purchases were timely reported.
- Gill, a pro-crypto MAGA supporter, has introduced a bill to expand the STOCK Act to require timely reporting of digital asset trades including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- The bill aims to increase transparency by mandating that all members disclose crypto holdings within 45 days, signaling growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies in financial regulation.
- Despite violations like Gill's, penalties remain minor, typically $200 fines often waived, highlighting enforcement challenges amid rising crypto investment by lawmakers.
