UK Political Party Makes History—Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations
Move over, traditional campaign finance—crypto just crashed the political party.
A UK political faction becomes the first to embrace Bitcoin donations, signaling a seismic shift in how elections might get funded. No more begging banks for permission—just open a Lightning wallet and watch the sats roll in.
Will other parties follow suit? Or will they cling to fiat like a pension fund clinging to dying bonds? Either way, the establishment just got a decentralized wake-up call.

Speaking alongside U.S. political figures and allies of Donald Trump, Farage aligned his position with the pro-crypto stance gaining ground in American conservative circles.
Though Reform UK currently holds only five seats in Parliament, compared to Labour’s 403 and the Conservatives’ 120, Farage hopes to tap into a growing demographic: young Britons interested in crypto. He cited data showing one in four people under 30 in the UK own digital assets — around 7 million individuals.
Meanwhile, the ruling Labour government has proposed a new framework to regulate crypto service providers under traditional finance standards, signaling a growing recognition of the sector’s importance but stopping short of Farage’s radical approach.
