Solana Policy Institute-backed PAC commits $8M to back Jon Husted, targets Sherrod Brown in Ohio Senate race

first published 2026-04-15T17:52:37Z

Sentinel Action Fund, a conservative pro-crypto Super PAC, endorsed Republican Jon Husted for Ohio’s 2026 U.S. Senate race after reporting roughly $9 million raised (Jan 2025–Mar 2026). Donors include $750,000 from the Solana Policy Institute and $250,000 from Multicoin Capital. Together with sister group Right Vote the PAC pledged to spend more than $8 million in Ohio, though FEC filings show no disbursements to Husted yet. The move reflects how crypto-aligned groups may deploy funding in upcoming elections and notes related Ohio crypto ties such as Vivek Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial bid and prior 2024 crypto PAC spending.
