Fairshake plans to spend at least $30 million opposing former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown after the Senate voted 49-50 on Sept. 15 against advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, although advocates have not ruled out another vote during a lame-duck session. The planned spending is part of a broader crypto political effort that contributed $206 million to the 2026 U.S. election cycle, according to Public Citizen’s analysis of Federal Election Commission records. Fairshake and affiliated groups had not disclosed post-vote expenditures as of Monday. Brown lost his 2024 reelection bid to Republican Bernie Moreno after Fairshake spent about $41 million opposing him, while the network spent more than $40 million supporting Moreno according to other estimates.
