Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has made strategic Bitcoin investments, adding to her portfolio through the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). Her initial investment, between $1,000 and $15,000, was made on January 8, 2025, ahead of President Donald Trump's inauguration. This investment saw a 13% increase over the following two weeks. In March, she doubled her investment, purchasing between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of IBIT shares, just before Trump's announcement for a planned Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Despite a subsequent 8% decrease, Greene's IBIT stake is up 10.2% as of this writing, outperforming her average return of 2.80% over the last year [1].
Other lawmakers have also invested in Bitcoin ETFs. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) bought between $50,001 and $100,000 worth of IBIT on July 17, 2025, but his investment is down 6.40% as of this writing. Sen. David McCormick (R-Pa.), who made several purchases of Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) in 2025, has enjoyed an unrealized profit of 25.60% as of this writing [1].
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been volatile, trading at $111,220.37 as of July 2, 2025, down 1.49% in the last 24 hours. Year-to-date, Bitcoin has rallied 18%. Shares of IBIT ETF rose 0.57% after-hours, gaining 19.76% year-to-date [1].
The institutionalization of Bitcoin is evident in the second quarter of 2025, with $33.6 billion in institutional Bitcoin ETF holdings reported by Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart. This surge reflects a broader institutional confidence in Bitcoin's strategic role amid macroeconomic uncertainty [2].
The merger between Gryphon Digital Mining and American Bitcoin, resulting in the Nasdaq-listed entity "American Bitcoin" (ABTC), is another significant development. The new entity leverages political connections, regulatory tailwinds, and a strategic focus on Bitcoin accumulation to position itself as a speculative play in the evolving crypto landscape [3].
