If you've been watching Nvidia's stock rocket higher over the past few years, you might assume everyone in Congress was buying. Not quite. One lawmaker has been doing the opposite — selling, repeatedly, and leaving a lot of money on the table.

Congressman Daniel Meuser (R-Pa.) recently disclosed another sale of Nvidia (NVDA) stock, according to the MarketDash Government Trades page. The transaction occurred on April 24, 2026, and was valued between $1,000 and $15,000. It came just weeks before Nvidia reported record first-quarter results on May 20, which sent shares higher. From the April 24 high, Nvidia stock is up about 4.1%.

This wasn't a one-off. So far in 2026, Meuser has sold Nvidia shares five times — on Jan. 14, Jan. 30, Feb. 25, March 25, and April 24 — all in the $1,000 to $15,000 range. Every single sale happened before Nvidia hit record highs in May. The latest trades were disclosed as being made by a spouse, meaning the congressman may not have been directly involved.

But Meuser's history of selling Nvidia goes back years. In fact, he hasn't bought any new stocks in 2025, only selling. In 2025, he sold between $250,000 and $500,000 in Nvidia shares. And he's been selling Nvidia every year since 2022.

Here's a timeline of his Nvidia sales (excluding 2026) and the stock's daily high on each sale date:

• Feb. 11, 2025: Sold $250,000 to $500,000, daily high $134.48
• Oct. 1, 2024: Sold $500,000 to $1,000,000, daily high $122.24
• Aug. 7, 2024: Sold $250,000 to $500,000, daily high $108.80
• Feb. 20, 2024: Sold $15,000 to $50,000, daily high $71.96
• Aug. 14, 2023: Three sales totaling $130,000 to $350,000, daily high $43.80
• May 31, 2023: Sold $250,000 to $500,000, daily high $40.29
• May 5, 2023: Sold $1,000 to $15,000, daily high $28.75
• Jan. 21, 2022: Three sales totaling $102,000 to $280,000, daily high $25.58

Add it all up, and Meuser has sold over $1 million in Nvidia stock over the last four years. With Nvidia currently trading at $219.51, every single sale happened at a lower price. The congressman missed out on gains of 758.1% from his January 2022 transactions alone.

Since Meuser hasn't disclosed any Nvidia purchases in the last four years, it's unclear when he originally acquired the shares or at what price. But one thing is clear: he's been taking profits early and often, while the stock kept climbing.

For retail investors watching congressional trades, Meuser's pattern is a cautionary tale. Sometimes, the best move is to hold on.
