Elections
Every federal race where tracked cryptocurrency- and artificial intelligence-aligned super PACs have spent to support or oppose candidates, or where candidates have received direct contributions from industry-linked donors.
Races influenced by crypto and AI industry super PAC money
Other races where crypto and AI companies and executives have contributed
Federal races with no tracked super-PAC activity — only direct contributions from crypto and AI companies and executives to a candidate’s principal campaign committee.

This page covers the 2025–2026 federal cycle. Spending from the 2024 races — tracked under the project’s former name, Follow the Crypto — is preserved in the 2024 archive.
Support and oppose figures reflect independent expenditures by tracked super PACs as reported to the Federal Election Commission. Direct contributions are itemized contributions from industry-linked donors to campaign committees and other committees focused on supporting that cnadidate. Spending and contributions are categorized as crypto- or AI-aligned using the methodology described in the FAQ.
Goal achieved? indicates whether the industry’s preferred outcome in a settled race occurred — typically, whether a supported candidate won or an opposed candidate lost.
