Congressman Collins Dabbles in Meme Coins: SKI Joins His Crypto Portfolio

Congressman Collins Reveals Crypto Investments, Including Meme Coin

U.S. Representative Michael A. Collins Jr. from Georgia has recently disclosed new cryptocurrency investments, adding both Ethereum and a lesser-known meme coin to his portfolio. This disclosure comes under the STOCK Act, which mandates reporting of securities and crypto transactions exceeding $1,000.

Collins, a Republican who has positioned himself as pro-business, purchased Ethereum (ETH) on August 7th for between $1,001 and $15,000. Just two weeks later, on August 22nd, he added "ski mask dog" (SKI), a meme coin with a significantly smaller market cap, in the same value range.

Collins' Crypto History

Collins' involvement with cryptocurrency isn't new. Since taking office in January 2023, he has reported up to $745,000 in crypto activity. His previous investments include:

In March 2025, Collins also announced his campaign would accept crypto donations, stating his intention to "destigmatize the crypto industry."

According to Stand With Crypto, Collins is considered a strong supporter of crypto and has consistently backed pro-crypto legislation.
