A new Periodic Transaction Report filed with the U.S. House of Representatives shows Hon. Nancy Pelosi’s spouse disposed of shares in Alphabet Inc. – Class A Common Stock (GOOGL), in a transaction dated December 30, 2025. The filing lists the trade in the $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 range, the standard bracketed disclosure format required under the STOCK Act rather than an exact dollar figure.
What sets this filing apart from a typical open-market sale is the description attached to it. The filer’s own notes state the transaction was a ‘Contribution of 7,704 shares held personally to Donor-Advised Fund.’ In other words, the shares weren’t sold for cash on the open market in the conventional sense — they were transferred out of personal holdings and into a donor-advised fund, a charitable giving vehicle commonly used for tax-advantaged philanthropic contributions. Our internal tracking still flags this as a ‘congress sale’ signal because it represents a disposition of the underlying asset, even though the mechanism differs from a straightforward brokerage sale.
Why This Filing Gets Attention
Any transaction involving Pelosi’s household draws outsized interest, partly because of her long tenure in the House and partly because Alphabet is a widely held, closely watched name. Search interest around topics like ‘politicians buying stocks’ and legislative efforts such as the ‘congress stock trading ban bill’ has only grown in recent years, and disclosures like this one tend to feed directly into that conversation. It’s worth remembering, though, that filing a Periodic Transaction Report is simply compliance with the law — the STOCK Act requires members of Congress and their spouses to report transactions like this within a set window, and doing so is neither an admission of wrongdoing nor evidence of any special knowledge behind the timing.
Readers who track these disclosures as a category, rather than focusing on any single member, often also follow institutional filings for comparison. For a look at how large asset managers report their own quarterly moves, our coverage of RENAISSANCE GROUP LLC’s 13F portfolio moves offers a parallel view from the institutional side of the market, where 13F filings serve a similar transparency function to what the STOCK Act requires of lawmakers.
No further detail is available in the filing beyond the asset, the date, the amount range, and the donor-advised fund note supplied by the filer. As with all Periodic Transaction Reports, the document reflects a disclosure obligation rather than a trading recommendation, and whoisbuyingnow.com will continue tracking any amendments or related filings tied to this asset and member as they’re made public.
