According to CNBC, a person, who's name was not know to the Committee staffers, raised up a sign during Fed Chair Janet Yellen's speech on 12th of June 2017. She was making a report about monetary policy and the state of the economy to the Congress as someone held this sign.
Of course, this unknown person was asked to leave immediately because it is considered a violation to hold signs according to the House committee's rules. Towards the end of the session (2:27 p.m. ET) the price of Bitcoin increased to $2,418.46 according to Coindesk. However, Yellen did not mention Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in her speech.
UPDATE
This person's name is Walter C Allen and he is receiving Bitcoin donations $ 4,913.14 so far :))

Bitcoin price trend as of today 12 July 2017
We are seeing a positive trend of Bitcoin growth lately which subsequently leads to an increase in prices of other cryptocurrencies. Of course Bitcoin does not need any advertisement, but is sure nice to see such pranks on TV.
Молодец, парень! Что там слушать, что эта бабушка гундосит? Биткоин рулит и бабушка скоро пойдет на пенсию. :-)
Да, он хорошо. А бабушка вроде и не против Биткойнов рассказывала )))
Красава - и прославился, и подзаработал деньжат и славы)) Сообразительный малый... Вилимо пока они свой сккучный бред несли - на курс внимание обратил и гне сдержался)))
Я тоже так подумал. Скорее всего заскучал и решил прикольнуться ))

Wow that is real awesome. $15 000, not bad for one days work. Hope it is worth it for failing the internship.
