He announced that Reform UK will now accept political donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, becoming the first major British party to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re playing catch-up with America,\u201d said Farage, addressing a crypto-savvy crowd. \u201cBut starting today, those with Bitcoin can support us financially \u2014 as long as they meet legal requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farage also outlined his broader ambitions for crypto in the UK. If Reform were to win control in a future election, the party plans to introduce a \u201cCryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill\u201d to create regulatory clarity and support innovation. He even proposed building a Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England and firmly rejected the idea of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).<\/p>\n
