Fairshake Disbursements Reach $169.5 Million Through Oct. 14

Fairshake’s committee-level disbursements reached about $169.5 million from Jan. 1, 2025, through Oct. 14, 2026, including $139 million transferred to affiliated committees.

The total also includes about $19.4 million in independent expenditures and $11.1 million in operating expenses. Because the amount covers one committee and includes transfers, it has a different scope from the broader estimate of Fairshake network spending.

Crypto-linked groups spent about $176 million across more than 100 U.S. midterm contests through Oct. 20. Fairshake and its affiliates accounted for about $150.8 million of that estimate, while other crypto groups spent roughly $25 million. An earlier breakdown of the midterm spending covered those network-wide figures.

The two Fairshake totals should not be treated as equivalent: they cover different periods and scopes, and the committee-level amount includes transfers to affiliated groups. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3.
