UK Reform Party leads in donations after accepting crypto

The UK Reform Party has become the top recipient of political donations among the country's major parties after securing large contributions that include cryptocurrency. According to DL News, crypto investor Christopher Harborne has donated a total of £12 million to date. The contributions followed the party's decision in May 2025 to begin accepting donations in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, making it the only major UK party to do so. Meanwhile, chairs of UK parliamentary committees have called for a ban on such donations, citing concerns that they could heighten the risk of foreign interference and complicate efforts to trace the source of funds.
