Josh Gottheimer × MSFT

This February 14, 2025 sell of at least $250,001 in Microsoft is one of five same-day trades Gottheimer disclosed in the stock, all filed on March 6, 2025. The $250,001 figure is roughly 250 times his median Microsoft trade size, placing it well above the unusually-large threshold. What elevates the structural interest further is the member clustering signal: seven members of Congress disclosed Microsoft activity within the same 14-day window, suggesting broader congressional portfolio movement in the stock during this period. Gottheimer's dual roles on the Financial Services Committee and the Intelligence Committee are directly relevant here, as Microsoft is both a publicly listed technology giant subject to securities oversight and a major contractor to U.S. intelligence agencies. The disclosure was timely, filed within 20 days. Considered in isolation this is a single large sell; considered across 206 total disclosed trades in this ticker, it forms part of a sustained and high-value trading pattern that warrants attention.

Also executed on February 14, 2025, this sell of at least $1,000,001 in Microsoft is the largest of the five same-day disclosures and sits at 999 times the median trade size across Gottheimer's 206 Microsoft transactions. Alongside Trade #10219, a same-day buy of equal minimum size, the February 14 activity suggests a substantial repositioning rather than a simple directional bet. The member clustering signal firing at seven members reinforces that this was a period of notable congressional activity in Microsoft broadly. From a structural standpoint, Gottheimer's seat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is particularly salient: Microsoft's Azure Government and classified cloud divisions serve the agencies this committee oversees, including the CIA and NSA. His Financial Services Committee role adds a securities regulation layer. The disclosure was filed within the legal window at 20 days. The combination of size, clustering, and dual committee relevance makes this among the most signal-dense individual trades in the recent window.

This buy of at least $1,000,001 in Microsoft on February 14, 2025 was executed on the same day as three sells (Trades #10216, #10217, and #10224) and a second large buy (Trade #10223), collectively representing over $3.25 million in minimum reported Microsoft activity in a single day. The simultaneous large buy and large sells suggest an active rebalancing or repositioning strategy. Eight members of Congress disclosed Microsoft trades in the same 14-day window, the highest cluster count across the recent trades reviewed here. Gottheimer's Intelligence Committee subcommittees, covering the CIA and defense intelligence architecture, are institutionally connected to Microsoft's most sensitive government business. His Financial Services Committee role adds a capital markets dimension. The buy was filed promptly at 20 days and falls within legal requirements. Within the context of 206 total Microsoft disclosures, this represents one of the larger individual purchase disclosures and contributes to the structural picture of sustained high-volume trading in a company closely tied to his committee work.

This February 14, 2025 buy of at least $500,001 is the fourth of five Microsoft trades disclosed by Gottheimer on the same date, filed collectively on March 6, 2025. At roughly 499 times his median trade size, the size signal is strong. The member clustering count of eight on this date is the highest across any of the recent trades, indicating broader congressional activity in the stock. Considering the full February 14 picture, Gottheimer reported minimum combined activity of over $3.25 million in Microsoft in a single trading day, spanning both buys and sells. This scale, combined with his committee-level exposure to the company through both the Intelligence Committee and the Financial Services Committee, makes the pattern structurally notable. The 20-day disclosure delay is timely. Across 206 total disclosed Microsoft trades, activity of this magnitude occurring in a cluster with other members is the kind of pattern that draws legitimate analytical scrutiny, particularly given the company's deep entanglement with federal contracts and technology regulation.

The fifth and final trade in Gottheimer's February 14, 2025 Microsoft cluster, this sell of at least $500,001 rounds out a day that saw a minimum of roughly $3.25 million in disclosed Microsoft activity across buys and sells. At 499.5 times the median trade size for this politician-ticker pairing, it individually clears the unusually-large threshold. The seven-member cluster count confirms this was not an isolated congressional impulse but part of a broader pattern of member activity in the stock during this window. Gottheimer's committee assignments on both the Intelligence Committee and the Financial Services Committee provide structural proximity to Microsoft: the former through classified cloud and cybersecurity contract oversight, the latter through capital markets and technology sector securities regulation. The disclosure was timely at 20 days. When viewed across the full 206-trade history, the February 14 cluster stands as one of the most concentrated bursts of Microsoft trading disclosed by this member, making it a logical focal point for disclosure pattern analysis.

This February 21, 2025 sell of $1,001 in Microsoft is the smallest-denomination trade in the recent sample, at exactly the median size for Gottheimer's Microsoft trading history. Filed promptly at 13 days, it does not trigger either the size or the late-disclosure signals. However, it occurred one week after the large February 14 cluster and was filed on the same day as that cluster, March 6, 2025. The member clustering signal still fires, with six members active in Microsoft within the 14-day window. This type of minimal-denomination trade, appearing in the disclosure record alongside multi-hundred-thousand-dollar transactions, is sometimes characteristic of portfolio maintenance activity or incremental rebalancing rather than a primary position move. Within the broader pattern of 206 disclosed trades, small sells following large repositioning activity are not unusual. The committee overlap remains structurally present regardless of trade size: Gottheimer's intelligence and financial services roles give him institutional visibility into Microsoft's policy and regulatory environment throughout this period.

This February 24, 2025 sell of $1,001 in Microsoft was filed on March 6, 2025, with a 10-day delay that is among the fastest disclosures in the recent sample. Like Trade #10022 three days earlier, it is a minimal-denomination transaction that by itself carries little analytical weight on size or timing grounds. The member clustering signal fires at six members, indicating continued broader congressional activity in Microsoft across the late-February window. Coming roughly 10 days after the large February 14 repositioning cluster, this and the February 21 sell could represent incremental position trimming. The committee overlap signal remains active: Gottheimer's dual roles on the Intelligence Committee and the Financial Services Committee provide ongoing structural proximity to Microsoft throughout this period, regardless of individual trade size. Across 206 total Microsoft disclosures, these smaller sells are consistent with a pattern of frequent, ongoing engagement with the stock rather than episodic large transactions, though the February 14 cluster distinguishes itself as the more analytically significant event in recent months.

This April 4, 2025 buy of at least $50,001 in Microsoft is the only trade in this sample that triggers the late-disclosure signal, filed on May 14, 2025, a full 40 days after the transaction. The 30-day disclosure threshold was exceeded by 10 days. The size signal also fires at roughly 50 times the median, and five members clustered in Microsoft activity during the same 14-day window. April 4, 2025 occurred during a period of significant market volatility related to U.S. tariff announcements and broader equity selloffs. A buy at that date, filed late, and accompanied by a member cluster, is a combination of signals that warrants noting in the disclosure record. Gottheimer's committee roles on both the Intelligence Committee and the Financial Services Committee remain structurally relevant to Microsoft throughout 2025. The late filing is the most distinct feature of this trade relative to others in the sample; the vast majority of his 206 Microsoft disclosures appear to have been filed within the legal window, making this an outlier in his own pattern.

This May 21, 2025 buy of $1,001 in Microsoft is a minimal-denomination transaction filed 21 days later on June 11, 2025. It does not individually trigger size or late-disclosure signals. However, it is part of the broader pattern of frequent, ongoing Microsoft trading across Gottheimer's 206-trade history, and the member clustering signal fires at six members in the same 14-day window. This buy occurs in late May 2025 and shares a filing date with Trade #6107, a second small Microsoft buy one day later. The practice of purchasing small lots on consecutive days and filing them together is consistent with a systematic or dollar-cost-averaging strategy, common in managed portfolios. The committee overlap signal remains active in structural terms: Gottheimer's Intelligence Committee and Financial Services Committee roles give him continued institutional proximity to developments affecting Microsoft, whether in federal procurement, AI regulation, or cybersecurity policy. The analytical significance of this individual trade is low in isolation, but it contributes to the cumulative picture of sustained engagement with this ticker.

This May 22, 2025 buy of $1,001 in Microsoft was filed on June 11, 2025, 20 days after the transaction, alongside the identical-denomination May 21 buy (Trade #6118). The two trades together represent consecutive-day minimal purchases filed in a single batch, a pattern that appears repeatedly across Gottheimer's 206-trade Microsoft history and is characteristic of automated or systematic accumulation. Neither trade individually triggers size or late-disclosure signals. The six-member cluster in the 14-day window indicates continued peer-level congressional activity in the stock. The committee overlap signal remains structurally present: as a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Financial Services Committee, Gottheimer retains ongoing institutional visibility into the regulatory and procurement landscape affecting Microsoft. Taken across the full 206-trade disclosure history, small batched buys like these are the background texture of his Microsoft position, with the analytically weightier events being the large-denomination trades and the late-filed April 4 buy that appear elsewhere in the recent sample.
