Key Signal

$517M Corporate race donations

Last Updated

2 天前

企业捐助者在 January 2025 与 2026 第一季度末期间,向 $517 million 注入众议院和参议院竞选活动——根据监督机构 Public Citizen 汇编的数据,这一总额已经超过了各公司在整个两年 2024 周期内支出的 $461 million。三个行业占据了涨幅的大部分:加密货币、人工智能和在线体育博彩,它们的合并捐赠已达到 超过 $294 million

加上亿万富翁捐赠者和工会的支出,情况变得更为庞大。广告追踪公司 AdImpact 目前预测整个中期选举周期将 达到大约 $11.6 billion 的政治广告支出,超过 2023–2024 期间创下的 $11.2 billion 纪录。这些数字背后的一些个人资金已经公开:Elon Musk 已为今年的联邦竞选投入了 超过 $90 million,Google 联合创始人 Sergey Brin 已花费 over $106 million 反对拟议的 California 财富税及相关措施,而 Meta 已向支持各州竞选中两党候选人的四个超级政治行动委员会(super PACs)提供了 $65 million。

加密货币制定了策略——其他所有人都在效仿

加密货币在 2024 年开创了本周期的资金策略,其基础设施现在已成为其他行业借用的模板。该行业的旗舰团体 Fairshake 在进入 2026 年时 持有大约 $193 million,其资金绝大部分由交易所运营商 Coinbase、支付公司 Ripple 以及风险投资公司 Andreessen Horowitz 提供。到 2026 年年中,它 手头仍持有约 $130 million——这意味着已经有数千万美元支出,且在 11 月之前还有充足的资金可供支配。该组织通过倾向于民主党和共和党的独立分支机构运作,纯粹根据加密货币政策在两党的初选中奖赏或惩罚候选人,这种模式目前正在从人工智能到博彩等各个行业中得到复制。

Andreessen Horowitz 的影响力远不止于 Fairshake:该公司在本周期已向专注于加密货币和人工智能的 PACs 投入了超过 $81 million,其中至少 $23.8 million 专门流向了 Fairshake。

人工智能入场虽晚但支出飞快

与人工智能相关的政治资金在 2024 年几乎不存在。现在,它正奋力追赶加密货币行业。Leading the Future——由 OpenAI 联合创始人兼总裁 Greg Brockman、他的妻子 Anna 以及风险投资人 Ben Horowitz 部分资助——到 6 月份已筹集了超过 $75 million,并已向德克萨斯州、乔治亚州、伊利诺伊州和蒙大拿州的竞选活动投入了 $23.5 million。到 8 月中旬,知悉其财务状况的人士表示,该团体的筹款额已增长至 $140 million
