Super PACs tied to the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence sectors have raised more than $321 million in the 2026 election cycle, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings, as the groups gear up to shape contests and policy debates in Washington and in key states.
Super PACs backed by the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence industries have amassed more than $321 million in the 2026 election cycle, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings reported by The Nation.
The funding has flowed to a network of industry-aligned committees operating at both the federal and state level. The Nation reported that the total it tallied spans 14 such super PACs, though it also noted that additional spending commitments—particularly from allied nonprofit organizations—may not be fully captured by what has been filed so far.
The growing war chests are arriving as lawmakers weigh major regulatory questions affecting both sectors. In its reporting, The Nation said the super PACs are being used to support candidates viewed as aligned with industry-preferred approaches and to oppose those seen as unsympathetic—an effort that can affect races in both parties.
The sums raised by these sector-backed groups are large enough to put them in the same general orbit as the biggest outside spenders in U.S. politics, and the amounts are likely to change as the election cycle progresses and additional reports are filed with the Federal Election Commission.
