Mining PAC launches ad for Ted Cruz as early voting begins in Texas

More than 18 million registered voters in the Lone Star State will decide whether to replace Senator Ted Cruz with Representative Colin Allred starting in 2025.

A political action committee (PAC) backed by cryptocurrency mining executives has launched two ad spots for Republican candidates as early voting continues in the United States for the November election.

In an Oct. 21 X post, the Bitcoin Voter PAC said it was responsible for an ad supporting Texas Senator Ted Cruz as residents of the state began early voting. The ad spot claimed Cruz understood “embracing Bitcoin” without explicitly mentioning any of his opponent Colin Allred’s policies. 

Executives from crypto mining firms Marathon Digital Holdings, CleanSpark, and Riot Platforms form the board members of the Bitcoin Voter Project, an advocacy group launched in June to identify potential voters and influence crucial elections. According to Federal Election Commission records as of Sept. 30, the organization’s PAC had filed no contributions or expenditures in the 2024 election.
