The party leader leaned into pro-crypto talking points at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, announcing plans to introduce a digital asset bill if Reform UK wins in the next election.
The leader of the Reform UK political party, Nigel Farage, announced that the group is accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency contributions from eligible donors.
Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas on May 29, Farage said the party had begun accepting crypto donations. A blog post from crypto payments provider Radom said Reform would use the platform to facilitate donations, making it the first major group to do so amid the Conservative and Labour parties, who hold most of the seats in the UK’s House of Commons.
“[A]s of now, we are the first political party in Britain who can accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” said Farage. “We’re way behind you in America, but as of now, people with Bitcoin can give us money provided they’re eligible.”
