Bloomberg Expands Lobbying to Include Cryptocurrency Regulation

Bloomberg LP is expanding its lobbying efforts to include digital assets and financial data transparency. The company's second-quarter disclosure shows it has continued focus on investor access to market information, with a notable shift towards cryptocurrency regulation.

This pivot comes as Congress navigates laws related to cryptocurrencies. Bloomberg's core business revolves around providing real-time market data that financial firms rely on for trading decisions.

The company spent $100,000 on lobbying in 2026, retaining outside firms like Williams & Jensen PLLC and CGCN Group LLC.

Bloomberg previously focused on the Financial Data Transparency Act but has now expanded its agenda to include tokenization and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. In 2026, it has lobbied the SEC, Department of Commerce, Senate, House, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
