Revealed: Reform rakes in £20m in donations from crypto investors 22.08.2026

An analysis of Electoral Commission data by The Independent reveals that Reform UK has received £20 million in donations from cryptocurrency investors since the general election. This accounts for nearly 60% of the right-wing eurosceptic party's total funding since the beginning of 2024. The largest donations, totaling £15 million, came from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, whose separate undeclared £5 million donation directly to Nigel Farage is the subject of a parliamentary probe. Other significant donors include Ben Peter Delo, founder of cryptocurrency trading platform BitMex, who gave two £2 million payments, and Maria Rost, wife of US crypto investor John Rost, who made nine payments worth £125,000.
