What Technology Stocks Is Congress Buying?
Technology is the most traded sector among members of Congress. NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta appear repeatedly in STOCK Act filings — driven partly by their dominance of major indices and partly by the congressional committees that oversee big tech, AI regulation, semiconductor policy, and data privacy.
As of the latest filings, Capitol Trader has logged 2,188 technology disclosures from 133 members — 35% purchases. The most-traded technology ticker is MSFT with 397 disclosures.

Frequently asked questions
Which technology stocks does Congress trade most?
NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta consistently appear among the most disclosed technology trades. NVIDIA in particular has attracted attention given its central role in AI chip supply and the CHIPS Act legislation.
Do members of Congress with tech committee seats trade more tech stocks?
Members on the House Commerce Committee, Senate Commerce Committee, and the Intelligence committees oversee technology policy and have regular exposure to tech sector developments. Committee assignment alone is not evidence of wrongdoing, but it creates the structural conditions for potential conflict of interest.
Is it legal for Congress to trade tech stocks?
Yes. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within 45 days but does not prohibit members from trading individual technology stocks. Multiple bills to ban such trading have been introduced but none have passed as of mid-2026.
How current is this data?
Capitol Trader ingests STOCK Act filings daily. The most recent trades shown here reflect disclosures from the House and Senate clerk portals, updated each morning.
