Crypto Billionaires Fund Reform UK
A British cryptocurrency investor based in Thailand provided £12 million to Reform UK. The source noted a separate £5 million payment to Nigel Farage occurred in early 2024, a few months before the general election. This specific payment does not appear on Mr. Farage's register of interest, which Reform UK claims is because it was a personal matter. Crypto billionaires provide two-thirds of all Reform UK funding, according to a report on the party's finances. One billionaire has provided funding to Nigel Farage. The party proposes cutting taxes for cryptocurrency traders and opening London's financial gates to the sector.
