Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been one of the most active stock investors from the political fraternity, and several of her trades have received significant media attention.
What happened: The lawmaker has expanded her portfolio with stocks from several large-cap companies, including Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class B (NYSE:BRK). Greene purchased Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares, with a reported value range between $1,001 and $15,000, on April 4.
The congressperson bought the market dip, precipitated by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff measures. The stock had slipped more than 8% over the previous two days.
But if the idea was to accumulate the stock before it began a sustained rally, that hasn’t precisely happened.
While shares rebounded on easing tariff measures, the upsurge was short-lived. After hitting yearly highs of $539.80, BRK.B reversed course and went on to slide below $500. Since the purchase, the shares have been down 2.62%

Let's assume instead of Warren Buffett's high-profile holding company, the Republican would have chosen to buy Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency. Since we don't know the exact amount invested, let’s go with the top range.
A $15,000 investment in Berkshire Hathaway Class B stock would have been reduced to $14,607.On the other, a $15,000 investment in Bitcoin on the same date would now be worth $20,700.

Notably, Greene was ranked 23rd among members of Congress who made stock transactions based on a return of +30.2% in 2024.
However, her trades have drawn scrutiny, particularly for well-timed stock purchases around market events, such as those before and after Trump’s tariff pause announcement. Greene has dismissed the criticism as “laughable.”
