U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds reports January 2026 Bitcoin buy and stock sales amid ethics scrutiny

United States Rep. Byron Donalds reported buying between $1,001 and $15,000 worth of Bitcoin on January 8, 2026, with the trade disclosed on February 12 while the asset was trading below $70,000. The filing also lists partial sales of several traditional stocks in late January, adding to prior criticism over his trading activity in office. A watchdog group had previously alleged he and his spouse failed to timely report over 100 stock transactions worth up to about $1.6 million in 2022 and 2023, keeping his investment history under ongoing review.
