“Not a lot of people know this, but Congressman Mike Collins is literally one of the most active crypto traders in the entire Congress, House or Senate.”
Jon Ossoff · Campaign rally, Atlanta · August 16, 2026 (Said from the stage at a campaign rally, carried by C-SPAN. Ossoff is running against Collins for the Georgia Senate seat, which is why he was talking about him at all.) · where they said it
Collins is the most prolific crypto trader in the House, by his own disclosures
What we read
Every document behind this determination. Disagree with the reasoning, not the vibes.
“The underlying record. Members must file a periodic transaction report for any trade over $1,000, in bands rather than exact figures — which is why every number in this determination is a range.”
“Went through the filings and found Collins's "is the most extensive record, according to his disclosures, with 19 trades going back to November." Also notes others have moved larger sums, naming Shri Thanedar selling at least $365,000.”
“A second pass over the same disclosures, reaching the same place: Collins is among the small handful of members trading crypto directly, and the busiest of them.”
“Tracks the 2025 filings, including the repeated Ethereum purchases, so the record is current rather than a two-year-old snapshot.”
“Rated the same claim True. Carries the Campaign Legal Center's ranking of the 2023-24 disclosures, which put Collins third across the whole Congress, and the cumulative ranges. Collins's campaign did not respond to them.”
