According to the reports from the Financial Times, Reform UK, the political party of which Nigel Farage is a member of parliament, secured a donation of 3 million British pounds in November last year from a renowned cryptocurrency investor, Christopher Harborne
C.Harborne is a Thailand-based crypto investor and an aviation entrepreneur. He has already donated around $12 million to Reform UK in August 2025
FT’s reports also quote that the additional donation has helped the party to cement itself at the top spot of the UK’s political party money race.
As per late 2025 estimates, Reform UK stands at the top with 18 million British Pounds followed by the Conservative Party with 13 – 17 million British Pounds and the Labour Party has 8-10 million British Pounds
It is worth noting that Reform UK has openly supported crypto and spoken in favor of it; in fact, it is considered one of the most crypto-friendly political parties in the United Kingdom.
Nigel Farage has proposed several pro-crypto ideas, including cutting capital gain tax on crypto from 24% to 10%, creating a national Bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and making the UK a global crypto hub.
Also, Reform UK became the first political party to accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the party has tried to attract support from the crypto industry and investors
A report by the BBC notes that Reform UK has been consistently leading in national opinion polls since last spring, although its popularity has dipped slightly since the start of the year to its lowest level since April 2025
Yet it is important to note that the most recent donation by Harborne was not in cryptocurrencies. The party has reported receiving donations in between October and December 2025 from David Grainger and Gary Dutton has donated $250,000
Other parties have also received funding from prominent figures to support their fundamental duties. Over the past few years, the United Kingdom has restructured its stance on digital currencies, blockchain, and similar technologies
