UK Chancellor John Healey publicly criticized Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's pro-crypto stance, calling him 'Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account' after reports that Farage received millions in crypto donations from Christopher Harborne and BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo.

The Metropolitan Police opened an investigation into possible overseas donation breaches on September 9, 2026, raising regulatory and reputational risks for Bitcoin fundraising, political adoption, and wider crypto regulation in the UK.

Farage has been a pro-crypto politician since 2020, framing Bitcoin as a question of personal freedom and opposition to state control of money. He has also said that he was debanked by private British bank Coutts, which led him to develop more interest in digital assets.
