Stand With Crypto has predicted that the United States could have its largest number of pro-Bitcoin lawmakers in Congress following the November 3 midterm elections. The crypto advocacy group is encouraging digital asset supporters to vote and help elect candidates who support clearer rules for the cryptocurrency industry.
The group’s executive director, Mason Lynaugh, made the prediction during an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, saying the country was on track to have the most pro-Bitcoin Congress in its history.
Stand With Crypto has endorsed 45 candidates across House and Senate races, including 42 House candidates and three Senate candidates. Its Senate endorsements include Republican Jon Husted in Ohio, Republican Ashley Hinson in Iowa and Democrat Chris Pappas in New Hampshire.
The group also endorsed four additional House candidates in September: Democrat Shomari Figures in Alabama, Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa, Republican Derek Merrin in Ohio and Democrat Janelle Stelson in Pennsylvania.
Stand With Crypto has also committed additional advertising support to six House races involving Don Davis in North Carolina, Susie Lee in Nevada, Zach Nunn in Iowa, Bryan Steil in Wisconsin, Derek Merrin in Ohio and Janelle Stelson in Pennsylvania.
The organization says its candidate endorsements are based on public statements, voting records and responses to its questionnaires. Many of the lawmakers it supports backed the CLARITY Act when it passed the House in July 2025.
The group has also connected its election campaign to efforts to pass federal cryptocurrency market structure legislation. It wants Congress to establish clearer rules for digital asset companies and define the responsibilities of financial regulators.
The push gained more attention after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate on September 15. The procedural vote ended 49-50, falling short of the 60 votes needed to move the legislation forward.
Among the senators involved, Jon Husted and Iowa Senator Joni Ernst voted in favor of advancing the bill, while New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen voted against it. Hinson and Pappas are running for the respective Senate seats.
Meanwhile, Stand With Crypto has expanded its voter outreach network to approximately 3.1 million advocates, with 50 state chapters and 47 college chapters, according to Lynaugh.
The organization also provides online tools that allow voters to check registration details, locate polling places and review candidates’ positions on cryptocurrency policies.
Separately, Bitcoin reserve legislation is moving through Congress. On September 16, the House Financial Services Committee approved an amended bill to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in federal law by a 28-21 vote.
The proposed American Reserve Modernization Act includes a minimum 20-year holding period for Bitcoin placed in the reserve and annual reporting on its holdings. It also directs the Treasury and Commerce departments to study ways to acquire Bitcoin without using new taxes, borrowing or deficit spending.
Stand With Crypto is hoping the incoming Congress will continue discussions on crypto regulation, market structure and Bitcoin-related legislation.
