FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed purchasing between $100,001 and $250,000 in Strategy stock months after the reporting deadline required under the STOCK Act. The delayed filing has raised concerns about ethics compliance, but the Justice Department stated that the investment did not create a conflict of interest. Patel’s explanation cited a “miscommunication” for the late disclosure. The purchase has drawn attention due to Strategy’s significant bitcoin holdings. This incident adds to recent scrutiny of senior U.S. officials’ cryptocurrency-related financial interests, including President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh.
