Capitol Trades brings transparency to congressional trading activity using publicly available data. We analyze patterns, timing, and disclosures — no accusations, no partisanship, just the numbers.
Tracking purchases, sales, and option activity disclosed under the STOCK Act.
Examining when trades happen relative to news events and price movements.
Identifying correlations between legislative work and portfolio holdings.
Looking at trends, frequencies, and outcomes over time.
We use official STOCK Act filings and verified financial data sources.
We stick to what the data shows. No accusations, no clickbait, no political slant.
Our focus is on patterns and statistical analysis, not individual motivations.
Members of Congress have access to information the public doesn't. They shape policy that affects entire sectors. And they're legally allowed to trade stocks while doing it.
Capitol Trades exists to close the information gap. We don't traffic in outrage or conspiracy. We believe transparency and informed citizenship are enough.
If lawmakers are trading, the public has a right to know — and to understand what those trades mean.
Capitol Trades is an independent, research-driven newsletter published under ByteBoss AI. We provide data analysis, not investment advice. We offer context, not endorsements.
Our work is non-partisan, evidence-based, and designed for readers who value clarity over hype.
