Which members of Congress own a given stock

To see which members of Congress traded a stock, open that stock’s page. It lists every member who bought or sold it since January 2025, with dates and amounts. The most-traded stock is Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), with 176 trades by 39 members.

How to look it up

Open the stocks list or search for the company. Each stock page shows how many members traded it, how many trades were purchases or sales, the total reported value, a split by party and the latest trades.

Trades show what they bought and sold

Trade reports show buying and selling. They do not show what a member held before 2025 and never traded. For full holdings, each member files an annual financial disclosure, linked from their page.

Common questions

Can I see which members of Congress own a stock?

You can see who traded it. Members report each trade within 45 days. Their full holdings appear once a year on their annual financial disclosure, which can lag by more than a year.

Is it legal for members of Congress to own stocks?

Yes. They have to report their trades, but they are not required to sell their stocks or use a blind trust.

Does a trade by a spouse count?

Yes. Trades by a spouse or dependent child are reported and shown, marked with whose account they were in.
