In a stunning political twist, Donald Trump has raised a jaw-dropping $236 million in just the first half of 2025, with crypto firms and tech elites emerging as the main financial engines behind this historic haul. Compared to the Democrats’ $69 million, this funding gap could redefine the 2025 midterms.
At the center of the storm? MAGA Inc., Trump’s powerhouse Super PAC, which shattered records by pulling in $177 million alone, marking the largest half-year political fundraising in U.S. history.
🚀 Crypto Goes Political:
Foris DAX (Crypto.com) – $10M
Blockchain.com – $5M
Winklevoss Twins (Gemini) – $2M+
⚙️ Tech Titans Follow Suit:
Marc Andreessen & Ben Horowitz (a16z) – $3M each
Elon Musk (Tesla) – $5M despite policy rifts
🛢️ Oil & Finance Join the Game:
Kelcy Warren (Energy Transfer LP) – $25M
Jeff Yass (Susquehanna Group) – $16M
High-stakes dinners targeting crypto and AI leaders even fetched up to $1.5M per seat, signaling a new strategic alliance between capital and candidates.
📊 But it's not just about raising — Trump’s team spent $6M on legal defenses alone. The rest? Aimed at flipping key congressional seats and crushing the midterm “ruling party curse.”
Meanwhile, Democrats flounder. Their top PAC, Future Forward, raised just $1M—a sign of deeper internal fractures and lack of tech/crypto backing.
Why it matters:
Crypto giants are aggressively pushing to shape future U.S. regulation.
Tech leaders are hedging bets — publicly critiquing, privately funding.
This might be the first time blockchain money shifts real-world policy.
📅 With new tariffs hitting August 7, eyes are locked on how this capital deployment will tilt the battlefield.
🚨 The Big Questions:
1. Is the crypto industry buying policy protection?
2. Will innovation thrive — or will public interest be sidelined?
3. Who benefits first if the regulatory tides turn in favor of crypto?
This isn't just politics. It’s crypto vs. the old world — and the stakes have never been higher.
