The GOP lawmaker first tossed somewhere between $1,000 – $15,000 into the ETF on Jan. 8, according to the Benzinga Government Trades page, ahead of President Donald Trump's inauguration. The stock rose 13% over the next two weeks.

Greene doubled up in March, purchasing between $15,000 – $50,000 worth of IBIT shares just three days before Trump's announcement for a planned Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Unlike last time, the ETH shares fell 8% over the next week.

According to Benzinga, Greene’s IBIT stake is up 10.2% as of this writing, better than her 2.4% return from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD.
