Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has executed significant technology stock trades worth over $30 million while recovering from a hip injury sustained during an official trip to Luxembourg. According to recent congressional disclosure reports, her trading activities include substantial positions in major tech companies through options contracts.
In January, Pelosi purchased 50 call options each in Google-parent Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., with each position valued between $250,001 and $500,000. The contracts expire in January 2026 with strike prices of $150. Her largest recent transaction was a sale of Apple Inc. shares on December 31, disposing of 31,600 shares valued between $5 million and $25 million.
The trades come despite Pelosi’s hospitalization in Luxembourg for a hip fracture sustained during the 80th-anniversary commemoration of the Battle of the Bulge. Critics have called for stricter regulations following reports that her stock tracker delivered 54% gains in 2024, outperforming most hedge funds and even popular trackers.
Pelosi’s spokesperson has consistently maintained that all trades comply with federal disclosure requirements under the STOCK Act. The performance has reignited debates about congressional stock trading, particularly regarding Pelosi’s previous trades, including Visa Inc. stock sales preceding a Department of Justice lawsuit against the company.
