The Crypto Political Action Committee that surprised American politics last year, Fireshake, successfully weighed again in a couple of special Florid They have the industry to thank for the support of the campaign.
A primary election closed Tuesday night, giving the pro-Crypto candidates with the support of $ 700,000 in Fireshake overwhelming money in both seats. The first district of Florida unoccupied by former representative Matt Gaetz and the sixth district unemployed by former representative Mike Waltz are firmly republican, which means that the main winners, Jimmy Patronis in the 1st and Randy Fine in 6, is likely that go to the victories of general election. On the April 1 ballot.
The two seats of Florida in the House of Representatives were open after President Donald Trump took advantage of his occupants for other tasks, including Gaetz, who shot when Trump’s attorney general chose under accusations that he had paid for sex with a minor and bought illegal drugs. The other was the headquarters of Waltz, whom Trump raised as his national security advisor.
The expected victories would also further reinforce the thin majority of the Chamber of the Republican Party, which remains so narrow that a burst of political wind in the wrong direction could derail the republican agenda there.
One of Fireshake’s super-pac affiliates defends US jobs, is the one that supported Florida politicians. Patronis was the state financial director who was attracting Florida to adopt cryptography in his own state finances, and Fine had also publicly advocated to support cryptography. The PAC dedicated around $ 200,000 to backup patronis and $ 500,000 per fine.
“We were proud to support both candidates with television advertising campaigns,” said Josh Vlasto, Fireshake spokesman, which is still at more than $ 100 million to spend in the next campaign cycle of the Congress. “The industry expects to collaborate with them and the hundreds of members on both sides of the hall committed to work together to approve responsible regulation.”
Super PACS is allowed to spend unlimited sums in ads for or against candidates, as long as they are “independent expenses” bought without participating in the campaigns. Fairshake spent $ 139 million to help obtain 53 cryptographic legislators in the new Congress of 2025, so one in ten of the acting legislators was backed by ads financed by Fireshake.
