Crypto Super PAC Drops $5 Million to Boost Pro-Bitcoin Senator in Alabama Primary

The political arm of the cryptocurrency industry is flexing its financial muscle ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with Fairshake—the industry’s $193 million campaign-finance juggernaut—making a massive $5 million bet on Alabama’s Senate race. The pro-crypto super PAC is backing Republican Congressman Barry Moore in his bid to unseat Democratic Senator Tommy Tuberville, marking one of the group’s first major midterm investments.

Fairshake’s affiliate, Defend American Jobs, is funding the independent expenditure, which will flood Alabama airwaves with advertisements supporting Moore’s campaign. The timing is notable: with the general election still nine months away, this early spending signals the industry’s determination to shape the political landscape before voters head to the polls.

“We are proud to stand with Barry Moore, a leader who will fight for economic growth and make America the crypto capital,” Fairshake declared in a Tuesday statement that underscores the PAC’s mission to elect lawmakers friendly to digital assets legislation.

The investment in Moore follows Fairshake’s recent support for Representative French Hill, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and crypto legislation’s congressional champion. Hill successfully shepherded a crypto market structure bill through the House last year, though it awaits Senate action—precisely the legislative gap Fairshake aims to fill by electing more crypto-friendly senators.

Under federal election law, the $5 million will fund “independent expenditures,” allowing Fairshake to purchase advertisements promoting Moore without coordinating directly with his campaign. Interestingly, Fairshake’s 2024 election advertisements notably avoided mentioning cryptocurrency altogether, instead focusing on broader economic themes. The Moore ad will prominently feature his endorsement from President Donald Trump, a strategic choice that could prove decisive in Alabama’s conservative primary electorate.

Moore, serving his fifth year in the House and currently on the Agriculture Committee where crypto legislation was debated last year, has positioned himself as a digital asset advocate. “Crypto is not a fad,” he declared in a December social media post. “It is part of our future. It is part of Alabama’s future.”

The congressman faces a competitive Republican primary field of five candidates vying to replace Senator Tuberville, who is seeking Alabama’s governorship. Early polling places Moore in second position behind State Attorney General Steve Marshall, with both candidates earning “A” ratings from Stand With Crypto, the industry’s political scorecard organization.

Fairshake’s aggressive midterm strategy reflects the cryptocurrency industry’s evolution from Washington outsider to political heavyweight. The PAC’s unprecedented war chest—built through contributions from crypto exchanges, venture capital firms, and blockchain companies—represents a fundamental shift in how the industry approaches regulation: rather than fighting unfavorable legislation, Fairshake aims to elect lawmakers who will write favorable laws.

Industry analysts note that Alabama’s Senate race offers Fairshake an opportunity to demonstrate its electoral influence while advancing legislation critical to crypto’s future. The state’s conservative electorate, combined with Moore’s Trump endorsement and Fairshake’s financial firepower, creates a formidable coalition that could reshape both Alabama politics and national crypto policy.

As congressional midterm season accelerates, Fairshake’s $5 million Alabama investment signals that the crypto industry is prepared to spend big to secure legislative victories. With billions in institutional capital flowing into digital assets and major financial firms embracing blockchain technology, the stakes for favorable regulation have never been higher—and Fairshake is betting that Moore represents the type of lawmaker who will deliver it.
