Chips, platforms, and the software on top
The basket has three layers. The chipmakers and infrastructure (NVDA, AVGO, AMD, TSM, MU, ARM, QCOM, INTC, SMCI, ANET, VRT, DELL) drew 526 purchases and 350 sales. The large platforms (MSFT, GOOGL, GOOG, META, AMZN, AAPL, TSLA) drew 681 purchases and 642 sales. The AI software names (PLTR, CRM, NOW, SNOW, ORCL, IBM, AI) drew 255 purchases and 127 sales. The large platforms carry much of the volume because they are also among the most common holdings in ordinary portfolios; see the most-traded stocks in Congress for every symbol, AI or not.
What a count does and does not show
A purchase count says how often members reported buying a stock, not how much: each filing gives a dollar range, and one large purchase counts the same as one small one (see how big Congress’s trades are). Counts also lean on whoever files most. Rohit Khanna reported 569 of the 1,462 AI-linked purchases; without that member, MSFT leads with 108 purchases from 31 members. Whether these purchases went on to beat the market is a separate question, answered in does Congress beat the market.
Nancy Pelosi and the AI basket
No household draws more attention on these names than Nancy Pelosi’s. Her reports list 22 purchases and 16 sales of the 26 stocks here, most often NVDA (7 purchases). You can open any ticker above for every member trading it, or browse every stock Congress trades.
