Crypto SuperPAC Raises $78 Million for Pro-Crypto Campaign in 2026 Midterms

Fairshake, a political action committee with a focus on cryptocurrency, has announced that it has raised $78 million to back pro-crypto candidates in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. Prominent figures such as Coinbase and Andreessen Horowitz support the PAC, which aims to promote legislation that fosters the development of digital assets and prudent regulation. As interest in the political impact of cryptocurrency rises, Fairshake’s contributions may influence future regulations pertaining to digital assets and blockchain.

The crypto sector is already anticipating the next electoral cycle as the 2024 U.S. elections draw to a close. Fairshake, a political action committee (PAC) that advocates for crypto-friendly legislation, recently announced that it has raised a substantial $78 million to support politicians who embrace digital innovation and blockchain in the 2026 midterm elections. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and bitcoin exchange Coinbase made significant contributions, underscoring the PAC’s expanding power in establishing a supportive regulatory environment.

Coinbase and Andreessen Horowitz were the main contributors to Fairshake’s most recent round of donations, which brought in $48 million, the company said on November 4. Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, made a $25 million personal donation, demonstrating his dedication to supporting laws that support cryptocurrency. With the addition of $23 million, Andreessen Horowitz strengthened its position in favor of legislators committed to enacting strong laws governing digital assets.

A Fairshake spokeswoman claims that the PAC has noticed a notable change in the way that both major parties view blockchain and cryptocurrency. This move is in line with the PAC’s objective of supporting candidates from both parties who are keen to promote prudent regulation of digital assets and enhance American technological leadership and job creation.

PACs like Fairshake have been aggressively supporting both Democratic and Republican candidates in the 2024 election, demonstrating the significant political impact of cryptocurrency. The majority of their expenditures have gone toward important contests, such as the Ohio Senate campaign in which Republican Bernie Moreno is trying to unseat Democratic Sherrod Brown, a prominent member of the Senate Banking Committee.

Both presidential candidates, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, have voiced support for cryptocurrency in a contentious political environment. Both have acknowledged the industry’s contribution to the economy and appealed to people who are worried about digital asset legislation. However, false remarks ascribed to both candidates have gone viral on social media, exposing the controversial nature of cryptocurrency’s position in American politics.

The policy landscape may change as a result of Fairshake’s effect on the ongoing legislative journey for cryptocurrency.
