Crypto billionaires donate £7 million to Reform UK in the first quarter of 2026 – The Irish Times

Reform UK received a total of £7 million (€8.1 million) from crypto billionaires in the first quarter of 2026, including a £3 million donation from Nigel Farage’s biggest backer Christopher Harborne.

Reform also received £4 million from cryptocurrency entrepreneur Ben Delo, who has said he will move back to the UK from Hong Kong – where he has lived since 2012 – to financially support Farage’s party.

The British government announced in March it would impose a £100,000 annual cap on political donations from Britons living abroad. Harborne, who is based in Thailand and made his latest donation before the law changed, has said he will find a way to circumvent the cap, by either challenging it in court or moving back to the UK.
