Majorie Taylor Greene disclosed new stock transactions this week, which come as public efforts to ban members of Congress from trading continue to grow over potential conflicts of interest.
Here are the latest trades by the Republican House member from Georgia.
What Happened: Greene has increased her frequency of trading disclosures in recent months with several large batches of stock purchases announced recently after a two-year hiatus of disclosures.
On Sept. 23, Greene disclosed her latest transactions, as reported by Benzinga's Government Trades page.
Here are the stocks Greene bought, with each one disclosed as a value of $1,000 to $15,000:
- Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)
- Berkshire Hathaway B (NYSE:BRK)
- Blackstone Inc (NYSE:BX)
- Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH)
- CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD)
- Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC)
- Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX)
- Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT)
- Southern Copper Corp (NASDAQ:SCCO)
- United Parcel Services, Inc. (NYSE:UPS)
Several of these purchases add to recent stakes taken by the representative, including shares of Berkshire Hathaway, Microsoft and CrowdStrike.
The disclosure by Greene did not report any sale transactions, which means the congresswoman continues to hold her Trump Media & Technology (NASDAQ:DJT) shares bought in October 2021.

Why It's Important: Greene disclosed buying Digital World Acquisition shares back in October 2021, the SPAC that took Donald Trump's media company public in March 2024.
The transaction was done with shares trading between $67.96 to $118.80. A tweet from UnusualWhales pins the purchase price at $94.20, meaning Greene is down significantly on her $15,000 to $50,000 purchase in the Trump-linked stock. Shares of DJT trade at $13.63 at the time of writing.
Greene buying CrowdStrike shares continues to be an area to watch as Benzinga previously reported the representative sits on the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology and Government Innovation, which operates under the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
With the latest stock transactions, Greene has increased her holdings in technology stocks along with placing bets on Warren Buffett to continue powering Berkshire Hathaway along after the stock hit a $1 trillion market capitalization.
Not many can say that their investing portfolios are betting on Donald Trump and Warren Buffett, but Greene can.
