Crypto Super PACs Back the Winning Side in 28 of 30 Called House Races, 1 of 4 Senate Races

Dextape brief

By Dextape Desk · November 4, 2026

An Unchained tally of Federal Election Commission filings shows crypto super PACs backed winners in 28 of 30 House races that NBC had called before 1:22 p.m. ET Wednesday, but just one of four Senate races. Of the $89.5 million those groups put into the contests, $21.9 million, or 24.4%, supported the winning candidates. The count covers independent spending since Sept. 1 by four PACs, based on filings current through 1:13 p.m. ET Nov. 4, and later reports may still post.

Ohio's special Senate contest absorbed $64.05 million, about 71% of the window's total, as Defend American Jobs and Digital Freedom Fund opposed Democrat Sherrod Brown, whom NBC projected as the victor. Two of six Fairshake-backed incumbents, Bryan Steil and Bill Huizenga, lost to Democrats.

Why it matters: It gives crypto readers a concrete scorecard showing how industry-funded political spending fared, with a wide gap between House and Senate results.
