U.S. Congressman Discloses New Crypto Investment Amid Market Surge
As the 119th session of Congress begins, Georgia Representative Mike Collins has disclosed a recent cryptocurrency investment, purchasing between $1,001 and $15,000 of Ski Mask Dog (SKI).
The transactions occurred in early December 2024, during a surge in crypto prices following the U.S. elections. SKI, launched in May, saw a sharp rise from under $0.01 to a high of $0.35 before stabilizing at $0.25.
Collins, who won reelection with over 63% of the vote, has previously reported investments in Ethereum ( ETH ), Velodrome (VELO), and The Graph ( GRT ).
While not central to his political platform, he has supported pro-crypto legislation like the FIT21 Act, aligning with the growing influence of digital assets in Washington.
