Shares of Micron Technology (MU) have been on a tear over the past year, and that's been great news for a handful of members of Congress who bought the stock in 2026. According to government trading disclosures, four lawmakers purchased Micron shares this year and haven't sold any — and their bets are looking very smart right now.
Here's who bought and when:
- Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) bought $1,000 to $15,000 on March 30.
- Rep. Gilbert Cisneros (D-Calif.) bought $1,000 to $15,000 on March 25 and again on Feb. 24.
- Rep. Tony Wied (R-Wis.) bought $250,000 to $500,000 on Feb. 19.
- Rep. Cleo Fields (D-La.) bought $100,000 to $250,000 on Feb. 3.
Based on the highest price of Micron stock on each purchase date, the gains are impressive:
- Fetterman: +122.0%
- Cisneros: +107.1% (March 25 purchase), +84.6% (Feb. 24 purchase)
- Wied: +91.6%
- Fields: +82.1%
All four are up at least 82% on their purchases. But the really eye-popping numbers come from the two biggest buyers. Fields' stake is now worth between $182,000 and $455,000 — a gain of $82,000 to $205,000. Wied's position has swelled to between $479,000 and $958,000, meaning he's up $229,000 to $458,000.
To put that in perspective: the annual salary for a member of Congress is $174,000. So both Fields and Wied have already made more on their Micron trades than they will earn from their day jobs this year. Not bad for a few months of waiting.
