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 103,048 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 348 active congressional traders.
Disclosure Gap Analysis
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.
