United States Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming, has revealed that she purchased Bitcoin (BTC) worth between $50,001 and $100,000 on Aug. 16, according to documents filed on Thursday.
The disclosure was part of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge, or STOCK, Act, which prohibits the use of non-public information for profit. The STOCK Act was signed into law under the Obama administration in April 2012 and is designed to combat insider trading.
