Four categories, not one leaderboard
A politician can report direct cryptocurrency, fund shares designed to track Bitcoin, stock in a crypto-sensitive company or business income connected to digital assets. Those categories can move together in a market selloff, but they do not confer the same legal rights or show the same thing in a disclosure.
JAT’s tracker labels each reported record before it is included in a category. That prevents an ETF purchase from being represented as a personal Bitcoin wallet, or business income from being added to a direct-token holding total.
Why the distinction changes the story
A Bitcoin ETF filing is evidence of a reported security transaction. A direct token entry is evidence of a reported asset category. A Coinbase or mining-stock position is an equity disclosure, with company-specific risks in addition to market exposure. The public-interest question may be similar, but the evidence is not interchangeable.
The same discipline applies to aggregated figures. JAT adds disclosure brackets only within a defined category and states the range rather than creating a fictional exact value.
What readers should check
Read the asset name, exposure label, date, ownership code and source filing together. A disclosure is a public record, not proof of misconduct, current ownership, trading intent or policy influence.
