It is unclear how much of an impact crypto voters will have on the outcome of the election, but a recent Harris Poll commissioned in partnership with crypto asset manager Grayscale revealed that around 56% of all voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who is "informed about crypto" compared to one who is not.

與其他行業 PAC 的許多廣告沒有提及加密貨幣不同，比特幣選民 PAC 廣告專門關注比特幣的好處，比特幣是領先的加密貨幣，透過交易所交易基金和其他投資工具獲得廣泛使用。

Since the lows of the so-called crypto winter in 2022, bitcoin has surged more than 300% in value on the notion of its broader applicability. The ads also tout the potential for job creation and financial freedom because of the embrace of crypto-friendly pols like Trump, McCormick and Cruz.

自第一則廣告發布以來，比特幣選民專案廣告已獲得近 300 萬次瀏覽。它們只出現在社交媒體上，包括 X，面向加密貨幣的選民的主要資訊中心。

Traditional media "doesn’t really work for our target audience who are largely unplugged from traditional media," Morgenstern said. "X is the biggest platform for Bitcoiners, and we’re targeting those voters who primarily live online."

摩根斯特恩說，傳統媒體「對我們的目標受眾來說並不真正有效，因為他們很大程度上脫離了傳統媒體」。 “X 是比特幣愛好者最大的平台，我們的目標是那些主要在線生活的選民。”

In addition to swaying crypto voters, the PAC is also looking to sway Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who recently criticized bitcoin miners for putting potential strain on the state’s power grid. The PAC is hoping Patrick, a Republican, may be persuaded by his fellow party members, like Cruz and Trump, that Bitcoin mining is an industry he should support.

除了影響加密貨幣選民之外，PAC 還希望影響德州副州長丹·帕特里克 (Dan Patrick)，他最近批評比特幣礦工對該州電網帶來潛在壓力。 PAC 希望共和黨人帕特里克能夠被克魯茲和川普等黨內成員說服，相信比特幣挖礦是他應該支持的行業。

Morgenstern would not elaborate on whether the PAC was planning to drop any more ads in the days leading up to the election, but noted it was keeping a close eye on the Ohio Senate race between incumbent Sherrod Brown, a crypto critic, and his Republican opponent, businessman and crypto advocate Bernie Moreno. He also said the group’s efforts will not stop with Election Day.
