Checkmate Government Relations lobbying revenue, Q1 2026 Copy link

Checkmate reported $10.9 million in federal lobbying revenue in the first quarter of 2026, the ninth-highest of any firm, according to LegiStorm. Bloomberg Government put the quarter at more than $11 million, including $1 million from Innovairrs & Co., the largest single contract on K Street that quarter.

Paid by Lobbying clients

The firm's own first-quarter reports add up to $10.97 million, including $450,000 from Binance. Punchbowl News reports $36.35 million for January to September 2026; that figure is not listed yet because no second outlet has reported it, and it would overlap this line and the Binance lines for the second and third quarters.
