Crypto Super-PAC Fairshake: The $116 Million Power Play for 2026 Midterms!

by

Ah, Fairshake! The illustrious super political action committee, a veritable cornucopia of cryptocurrency, has amassed a staggering $116 million, all in preparation for the grand spectacle that is the 2026 midterms. One can only imagine the delightful chaos that awaits! 💰✨

Having made quite the splash in the 2024 election, this crypto-centric cabal is now flaunting its impressive war chest like a peacock in full plumage, ready to strut its stuff in the next electoral cycle. Who knew that digital coins could translate into such tangible power? 🦚

Reports from the ever-reliable January 30th reveal that Fairshake has been showered with contributions from the titans of the cryptocurrency realm, all eager to play their part in this political pantomime. 🎭

Coinbase, Ripple, and a16z: The Generous Trio

According to the ever-watchful eyes of CNBC, Fairshake has secured a veritable treasure trove of donations from the likes of Coinbase, the creators of XRP, Ripple, and the Silicon Valley venture capital behemoth, Andreessen Horowitz. It seems that money does indeed grow on blockchain trees! 🌳💸

Each of these illustrious entities has pledged more than $20 million to the cause. And let us not forget Jump Crypto, the venture capital firm that has also decided to toss its hat into this glittering ring. Fairshake plans to wield these funds like a sword, supporting crypto-friendly candidates in the most pivotal congressional races. ⚔️

In the previous election, this super-PAC raised a jaw-dropping $200 million. A portion of this bounty was used to champion the crypto-friendly Bernie Moreno against the then Ohio senator, Sherrod Brown. Moreno’s campaign was graced with a princely sum of $12 million from Fairshake, a contribution that helped him mount a campaign that was nothing short of a Shakespearean drama. Brown’s defeat was hailed as one of the most resounding victories for the crypto community. 🎉

In 2024, Coinbase was particularly generous, contributing over $75 million to the super PAC and its affiliated committees. Now, it has committed an additional $25 million for the midterms. Meanwhile, Ripple, having previously splurged $50 million, has now pledged $20 million. It appears that the SEC’s rather frosty demeanor towards crypto has only served to galvanize these industry players into action. ❄️

As for a16z, they plan to sprinkle an additional $23 million into the pot, adding to their already impressive tally of over $70 million across various election cycles. It seems that the art of political patronage is alive and well in the world of cryptocurrency! 🎨

Fairshake’s latest bounty also includes the benevolent support of Uniswap Labs and Robert Leshner, the founder of Superstate. One can only wonder what other surprises this super-PAC has in store for us as we approach the grand electoral theatre of 2026! 🎭💼
