According to the filing, the senator purchased BTC worth in between $50,001 and $100,000 on Aug. 16. The rate of bitcoin was around $45K at that time.

The disclosure was made outdoors of the 45-day reporting due date set by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. The Act needs members of Congress to reveal every purchase and sale of private stocks, bonds, and product futures valued over $1,000 within 45 days of the deal.

A representative at Senator Lummis’ workplace informed CNBC that the disclosure hold-up was because of “a filing mistake,” specifying:

Senator Lummis is a longtime bitcoin fan. She formerly stated that she purchased her very first BTC in 2013 for $330 and owned 5 bitcoins as of completion of June.
