Fairshake, widely described as the crypto industry’s largest political spending vehicle, has raised $138,243,957.16 in total receipts across the 2025-2026 election cycle, according to the committee’s own filings with the Federal Election Commission. That figure comes directly from Fairshake’s committee page on the FEC’s own website, the federal government’s authoritative source for campaign finance disclosures.
Spending has outpaced that fundraising total so far in the cycle. Fairshake’s FEC filings show total disbursements of $169,511,723.22 over the same period, a figure that exceeds total receipts because the committee carried over a substantial cash balance from the prior election cycle. The FEC page lists beginning cash on hand of $64,244,197.94, which combined with the cycle’s receipts and disbursements leaves Fairshake with an ending cash on hand balance of $32,976,431.88 as of its most recent reporting period.
Fairshake is registered with the FEC as an independent expenditure-only committee, the formal term for what is commonly called a Super PAC, under committee ID C00835959. Unlike a traditional political action committee that contributes directly to candidates, an independent expenditure-only committee like Fairshake can raise unlimited amounts from donors, including corporations, but must spend that money independently of any candidate’s own campaign, typically on advertising and other communications either supporting or opposing specific candidates.
The committee has become closely associated with the crypto industry’s broader push to influence federal elections, drawing financial support from several of the industry’s largest companies and investors who have an interest in how Congress approaches digital asset regulation. Its scale, with well over $100 million raised across the current cycle alone, places it among the larger single-issue Super PACs operating in American politics, regardless of industry.
The FEC’s own disclosure system notes that newly filed data can take up to 48 hours to appear on a committee’s public page, meaning the exact figures reported here reflect Fairshake’s filings as processed by the FEC as of the time this data was retrieved, with any more recent filings potentially still pending incorporation into the public total. The committee page, published on the Federal Election Commission’s own website, remains the authoritative source for tracking Fairshake’s fundraising and spending as the 2026 election cycle continues.
