Section 03 · NVDA × CHIPS Act
Pelosi's NVIDIA Trades & the CHIPS Act
No stock has generated more controversy around Nancy Pelosi than NVIDIA (NVDA).
Paul Pelosi's NVDA trades have repeatedly overlapped with legislative action that directly
benefits the chipmaker — a pattern that critics call the clearest example of
congressional insider trading.
Key NVIDIA Timeline
July 2021: Paul Pelosi purchases 5,000 shares of NVDA
June 2022: Exercises call options to buy 20,000 more NVDA shares while Nancy Pelosi publicly backs the CHIPS and Science Act
July 2022: Paul Pelosi sells 25,000 NVDA shares at ~$165 for $4.1M — weeks before the CHIPS Act passes the Senate
Aug 2022: CHIPS Act signed into law, allocating $52.7B to U.S. semiconductor manufacturing
Jan 2025: Paul Pelosi buys $250K-$500K in new NVDA shares and call options
Dec 2025: Sells up to $5M of NVDA stock on Christmas Eve, days after favorable Nvidia trade policy announced
The 2022 sale turned out to be poorly timed: the 25,000 shares sold at $165 would later be
worth over $12.3M, representing approximately $8.2 million in missed gains. Critics noted
that the sale — executed before the CHIPS Act vote — could indicate awareness that
the bill's passage was already priced in.
According to GovGreed's analysis of 189,595 STOCK Act filings, Pelosi's
NVDA trades represent one of the highest-dollar single-ticker positions in congressional history. The pattern
of buying before favorable legislation and selling before votes is tracked by GovGreed's
signal scoring engine, which evaluates committee
overlap, bill timing, and trade direction across all 343 active congressional traders.
Section 04 · The Disclosure Gap

The STOCK Act requires trades to be disclosed within 45 days. Across all of Congress,
23,426 trades (12.5%) were filed late. The average disclosure gap across the full
database is 44.9 days. Here is how Pelosi's filing patterns compare.

Late filings are notable because they extend the information asymmetry window — the period during
which the politician knows their position but the public does not. GovGreed flags every late filing
automatically.

The STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act), signed in 2012, requires all members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children to publicly disclose stock trades within 45 days.

Violations can result in fines, though enforcement has been limited.

GovGreed's signal engine analyzes committee assignments, bill timing, campaign contributions, lobbying patterns, and technical indicators to surface trades with unusual convergence patterns. GovGreed provides data and transparency — it does not make legal accusations. All data is from public federal disclosures. Not financial advice.
