The crypto industry has found its candidate in Alabama. Representative Barry Moore, who is running for an open US Senate seat, has attracted nearly $7 million in support from cryptocurrency-aligned super PACs, a figure that exceeds the combined spending behind all of his primary opponents.
The bulk of that money comes from Defend American Jobs, an affiliate of Fairshake, the crypto industry’s most prominent political spending vehicle. The group initially announced a $5 million ad campaign for Moore in February 2026 before ramping up its commitment even further.
Why crypto money is flowing to Alabama
Moore has earned his backing the old-fashioned way: by voting for things the industry wants. His record in Congress includes support for both the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act, two pieces of legislation that aim to establish clearer regulatory frameworks for digital assets.
Stand With Crypto, the advocacy organization that tracks lawmakers’ positions on digital asset policy, gives Moore an “A” rating and classifies him as “strongly supportive.”
