The Winklevoss twins spent over $2.9 million in a single day on September 30, 2026, through their super PAC Digital Freedom Fund to influence the Ohio Senate race between Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Jon Husted. Half of the funds support Husted while the other half opposes Brown. The PAC has $22 million from the twins’ venture capital arm ($21 million) and Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken ($1 million). Other crypto-aligned super PACs, including Fairshake, have committed over $30 million against Brown, bringing the total anti-Brown spending to over $60 million since 2024. Brown, a three-term senator and former Senate Banking Committee chair, is targeted for his critical stance on the crypto industry, but currently polls slightly ahead of Husted.
