Texas Rep. Brandon Gill Faces Heat Over Late $500K Bitcoin Disclosure
Texas Congressman Brandon Gill is in hot water after failing to disclose $500,000 worth of Bitcoin trades on time. Under the STOCK Act, lawmakers must report financial moves within 45 days — but Gill’s filings came months late.
Why does this matter? Because Gill not only trades crypto but also helps shape crypto laws. Holding big Bitcoin stakes while influencing legislation raises serious conflict-of-interest concerns.
The delayed disclosure has sparked outrage from ethics experts, voters, and political opponents alike. Many are questioning whether Gill can fairly represent public interests with such personal investments on the line.
Gill hasn’t given a detailed response yet, but this controversy could damage his credibility in upcoming elections. This case highlights the challenges lawmakers face as cryptocurrency becomes a bigger part of the political landscape.
