Rep. Rashida Tlaib holds up to $30,000 in iShares Bitcoin (BTC) Trust ETF positions and up to $15,000 in a Grayscale Ethereum (ETH) staking fund, her latest financial disclosure shows.
The Michigan Democrat voted against the CLARITY Act in July 2025 and co-sponsored a resolution targeting crypto corruption. The Senate takes up the same bill in September.
What the Disclosure Shows
Tlaib filed her annual disclosure covering 2025 on August 11, 2026. It lists the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) in two separate accounts. Her Schwab Rollover Traditional IRA and her Schwab Roth Contributory IRA each hold a position valued at $1,001 to $15,000.
The Roth IRA also holds the Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF, which is likewise valued between $1,001 and $15,000. Combined, the three positions represent between $3,003 and $45,000 in crypto exposure. Lawmakers disclose assets only in broad ranges.
The filing shows Tlaib bought IBIT on April 28 and May 29, 2025. Both purchases coincided with rollovers of two employer retirement plans into her Schwab accounts. The exposure comes entirely through exchange-traded funds. The filing lists no directly held cryptocurrencies.

A Voting Record That Points the Other Way
Tlaib voted against the CLARITY Act when the House passed it 294-134 in July 2025, House records show. The bill would establish a market structure framework for digital assets. The Senate holds a procedural vote on it on September 15.
In October 2025, Tlaib co-sponsored the Ban Crypto Corruption Resolution led by Rep. Ro Khanna. It calls on politicians and their immediate families to refrain from issuing, sponsoring, or endorsing digital assets. It also urges blind trusts for their digital asset holdings.
Her skepticism dates back further. In 2020, she introduced the STABLE Act. The bill sought to make it illegal to issue a stablecoin unless the issuer was an insured depository institution and a Federal Reserve System member. The bill died in committee.
