Fairshake: Fighting for Cryptocurrency Support in Politics
The political action committee Fairshake, supported by companies such as Coinbase and a16z, has a war chest of $73 million. These funds are allocated to support political candidates who advocate for the development of digital currencies and to oppose those trying to suppress cryptocurrencies.
The Generosity of the Winklevosses
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, known for their support of cryptocurrencies, have donated a significant amount of $4.9 million to the Fairshake committee. This donation aims to support political candidates who are open to digital currency technologies in the upcoming U.S. elections.
According to information from the Federal Election Commission and recent records from Fairshake, the twins have contributed half of the mentioned amount, which amounts to $2.45 million, to this political action.
Contributors to Fairshake
In 2024, Fairshake attracted attention from major donors, including the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken (operating under Payward) which donated $750,000 on January 12th, and Electric Capital Partners, which contributed $500,000 on January 26th, according to documents. Additional support came from companies such as Blockchain Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Jump Crypto, Coinbase, and Ripple Labs, thereby increasing the financial strength of the committee.

The Mission of Fairshake
Fairshake focuses on supporting political candidates striving to make the United States a leader in digital innovations. This committee plays a key role in the political arena, especially at a time when the cryptocurrency industry is facing challenging regulations and increased scrutiny from regulators.
Fairshake in Action
In February, Fairshake invested significant resources in campaigns against politicians who are critical of cryptocurrencies. These efforts include campaigns against Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her critical stance on digital currencies.
Outlook for the 2024 Elections
In the United States, elections are scheduled for November 2024, which will decide the occupancy of all seats in the House of Representatives, a third of the Senate, and the presidency. Fairshake aims to influence the outcome of these elections in favor of cryptocurrencies.
