The Fellowship super PAC, tied to Tether, made its first disclosed expenditure of $300,000 on advertising for Georgia Republican Clay Fuller through Nxum Group, a firm co-founded by Bo Hines, CEO of Tether US. This marks Fellowship's initial move in the 2026 U.S. congressional elections, despite not yet disclosing any contributions or endorsing Fuller publicly. The PAC aims to support candidates aligned with digital asset growth but has faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest as it pays a company linked to its own leadership. The $100 million pledged to the PAC has yet to appear in disclosed contributions, and its future political influence remains to be seen as the midterms approach.
