Fairshake Raises $78 Million for 2026 Midterms

Fairshake, a pro-crypto super PAC, has raised $78 million to influence the 2026 mid-term elections, with major contributions from Coinbase ($25 million) and Andreessen Horowitz ($23 million). This fundraising effort aims to establish a Congress filled with pro-crypto legislators and to counteract those who criticize the industry. The total funding from the crypto sector for this election cycle has reached approximately $170 million, marking a significant investment in political lobbying. Fairshake emphasizes its commitment to both parties, advocating for regulatory frameworks that support innovation while protecting consumers. The PAC has already spent around $135 million targeting key legislators and state officials. By announcing this funding ahead of the 2024 election results, Fairshake seeks to maintain its political influence and ensure the crypto industry's interests are represented.
