Fact Check
The claim is supported by the fetched Bitget News article, which explicitly says a House Periodic Transaction Report showed Representative Sheri Biggs disclosed a March 4, 2026 purchase of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) in the $100,001–$250,000 range. Search results for The Block, FXStreet, and CryptoTimes independently echo the same core facts: the filing was a House periodic transaction report, the asset was IBIT, the transaction date was March 4, and the amount range topped out at $250,000. However, confidence is only medium because the underlying House filing was not directly fetched in this run, The Block page fetch failed, and the linked X posts were not successfully retrieved.
