Rep. Rashida Tlaib Opposed Crypto Bill. But Her Retirement Accounts Held Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs

Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) latest financial disclosure has put a spotlight on an increasingly mainstream way to own crypto, through ETFs.

The Michigan Democrat reported up to $30,000 in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) across two Schwab retirement accounts and as much as $15,000 in the Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF (NYSE:ETH) in her Roth IRA, the New York Post reported . That puts her disclosed crypto ETF exposure at between $3,003 and $45,000, based on the broad value ranges required in congressional financial disclosures.

The holdings are notable because Tlaib voted against the CLARITY Act, a major piece of crypto market-structure legislation, when it passed the House in July 2025.

In October 2025, Tlaib co-sponsored the Ban Crypto Corruption Resolution, which is “Calling to ban the use of public office for personal enrichment through cryptocurrency ventures and calling for measures to prevent conflicts of interest and foreign influence in politicians’ digital asset activities.”

Bitcoin Exposure Came Through Retirement Accounts

Tlaib’s disclosure shows IBIT in both her Schwab Rollover Traditional IRA and Schwab Roth Contributory IRA, with each position valued between $1,001 and $15,000.
