Derek Tran Stock Trades

Representative Derek Tran's public trading record consists of exactly one disclosed transaction: a sale of Litecoin (LTC), attributed to him as "Self" and reported to the House Clerk on August 13, 2026. That single filing, covering a disclosed amount range of $1,001 to $15,000, is the entirety of what the record shows for the California Democrat since his current term began on January 3, 2025. For a lawmaker representing California's 45th District, the file is less a story about active trading and more a story about how little trading has been disclosed at all, and about a filing submitted more than a year after the transaction date.

The transaction was executed on July 28, 2025, but was not disclosed until August 13, 2026. Under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, covered transactions must be reported no later than 30 days after the filer receives notification and, in all cases, no later than 45 days after the transaction, subject to applicable waivers and exclusions. That requirement appears in the STOCK Act of 2012 and is reiterated in the House Committee on Ethics disclosure instruction guide. On the disclosed dates, the report arrived well beyond the law's 45-day outer limit. The length of that gap is the most notable feature of Tran's file to date, although the dates alone do not establish why the filing occurred when it did.

A Single Filing, Attributed to the Member Himself

The disclosure lists the transaction type as a sale and carries the attribution label "Self," rather than identifying a spouse, dependent child, joint interest, or unknown owner. That distinction matters for how the record should be read: the filing attributes this transaction to Tran himself rather than to another listed relationship. The attribution does not, by itself, establish who selected the timing or shaped the decision behind the sale, so the record supports attribution but not a broader conclusion about strategy or intent. With only one row in the data, there is no joint, spousal, dependent-linked, or unidentified activity to compare it against.

Because the disclosure history contains a single event in a single year, 2025, there is no earlier period in the supplied record to compare it with and no pattern of frequency, asset rotation, or buy-versus-sell behavior that can be established. The activity totals are straightforward: one transaction, consisting of one sale, with no purchases or other transaction types. For context, as of August 22, 2026, 237 of 437 sitting House members had disclosed zero trades. Tran's one-transaction file places him outside that zero-disclosure group, but it still provides little evidence of any broader trading pattern.

The Asset: Litecoin

The security involved is identified in Tran's official Periodic Transaction Report as “Litecoin (LTC) [CT].” The disclosed asset is therefore Litecoin, not shares of LTC Properties Inc. The full asset name in the filing is decisive here: relying on the three-letter LTC symbol alone would produce an incorrect company match and, in turn, an incorrect description of the transaction as a sale involving a real estate investment trust.

The official filing presents the item as a cryptocurrency transaction rather than a corporate-equity trade. That distinction determines how this record should be described: as one disclosed sale of Litecoin, not as activity in the Real Estate sector, the Diversified REITs industry, or the seniors-housing business. Those company and sector descriptions do not apply to the asset named in the filing and should not be used to interpret Tran's transaction.

Within Tran's transaction history, Litecoin is necessarily his most frequently disclosed security, but that ranking is based on transaction-row count and reflects only this single sale. It does not demonstrate repeated activity, a recurring preference, or a broader trading theme. Likewise, the disclosed range of $1,001 to $15,000 is not an exact sale value and should not be converted into a midpoint or treated as a precise amount. The record establishes the transaction type, date, disclosure date, attribution, asset name, and reported range; those fields provide the factual boundaries of the profile.

Sourcing, Attribution, and Disclaimer

This Quantellect profile is built from Derek Tran's official congressional financial disclosure filing and reflects only the transaction information reported there. The profile follows the filing's full asset name when identifying the security and uses the attribution recorded in the filing rather than assuming that another family member or account owner was involved. Transaction dates reflect when a trade was executed, while disclosure dates reflect when it was reported. Dollar amounts reflect the disclosed range, not an exact value. The discussion of reporting deadlines states the applicable STOCK Act rule but does not infer motive or intent from the timing of the filing. Nothing in this profile should be read as investment advice. Source filing: Periodic Transaction Report, House Clerk's Office.
