The crypto industry has already投入 189 million USD into the 2026 U.S. election cycle, exceeding the total amount spent on political donations by the entire 2024 election cycle
According to the latest report released by U.S. consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen, the cryptocurrency industry has contributed 189 million USD to the 2026 U.S. election cycle, accounting for approximately 37% of all企业 political contributions during this cycle.
Although more than four months remain until the November U.S. general election, the combined spending of these political donations has already surpassed the total 170 million USD that the crypto industry donated throughout the entire 2024 election cycle.
This trend not only reflects the growing influence of the crypto industry in the U.S. political landscape, but also suggests that in the coming months, the industry’s investment in and attention to the election may continue to rise.
In terms of specific spending, the pro-cryptocurrency political action committee Fairshake has spent more than 82 million USD, while the MAGA Inc. super PAC backed by Crypto.com has spent more than 56 million USD.
Public Citizen criticized in its report that these super PACs put crypto interests first, with strategies that override political parties and candidates as they intervene in both parties’ primaries and selectively support or attack major candidates in the general election.
Notably, Fairshake and its affiliated organizations Defend American Jobs and Protect Progress are backed by cryptocurrency companies such as Coinbase and Ripple. As of the January report, they had accumulated a funding reserve of 193 million USD.
Since 2024, other entities aligned with industry interests have also received contributions—for example, Fellowship PAC under Cantor Fitzgerald has received 11 million USD to date and pledged to spend at least 100 million USD in the election.
Overall, the crypto industry is deeply involved in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections with an unprecedented scale of funding, seeking to shape the Congressional landscape in its favor through the power of the industry.
