Rep. Ro Khanna’s household disclosed roughly $83,000 worth of purchases in MSFT, the technology giant behind Windows, Azure cloud services, and Microsoft 365, according to newly filed congressional trade disclosures.
The February transactions included two separate purchases reported under different owners within the household. The trades ranged from smaller personal allocations to a much larger buy shortly afterward, together totaling an estimated $83,000 based on midpoint calculations from the required disclosure ranges.
Microsoft shares recently traded around $395.55, with investors closely watching the company’s cloud growth and its aggressive push into artificial intelligence tools integrated across Azure and productivity software.
Details of the Microsoft purchases
- Feb. 17, 2026: Buy — $1,000–$15,000 (Spouse)
- Feb. 24, 2026: Buy — $50,000–$100,000 (DC)
The two transactions came just one week apart. The larger purchase, reported under “DC,” accounted for the majority of the disclosed value.
Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress must disclose securities transactions within 45 days. The filings provide ranges rather than precise amounts, making exact totals impossible to determine.
Microsoft remains a popular Capitol Hill holding
Microsoft is one of the most widely traded technology companies among lawmakers. At least 137 members of Congress have reported transactions in the stock, reflecting its dominant role in enterprise software, government IT contracts, and cloud infrastructure.
The company generates revenue across several pillars: Windows and enterprise software licensing, its fast-growing Azure cloud platform, gaming, and subscription-based productivity tools such as Microsoft 365. In recent years, the firm has also become a central player in the AI boom through its partnership with OpenAI and the integration of AI copilots across its product suite.
Because Microsoft products underpin large portions of government technology infrastructure and defense-related cloud systems, the company’s performance often tracks broader trends in federal IT spending.
Committee roles intersect with technology oversight
Khanna serves on the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, while also sitting on the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.
Within those assignments, he holds seats on panels covering cybersecurity, information technology, innovation, and seapower and projection forces—areas where major defense contractors and cloud providers like Microsoft frequently operate.
Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, for example, is widely used by government agencies and defense programs, making federal policy decisions around cybersecurity, AI development, and technology supply chains particularly relevant to the company.
Khanna has been an active voice in congressional debates about U.S. technological competitiveness, particularly in relation to China and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.
The California Democrat has reported 19,625 total stock trades over his career disclosures, placing his filings among the more active on Capitol Hill.
Investors and transparency advocates closely track these disclosures through databases compiling the latest congressional trades, which can reveal how lawmakers and their households position portfolios around major sectors of the U.S. economy.
For Microsoft, the February purchases add another congressional household to the long list of investors betting on the company’s continued growth in cloud computing and AI-driven enterprise software.
