Reform UK received £72 million over one weekend after BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo and Tether investor Christopher Harborne each pledged £36 million to Nigel Farage's party. The donations, neither of which was made in digital assets, exceed the £64.8 million raised by all UK political parties during the previous year, according to Electoral Commission figures. Delo prepaid a planned monthly contribution through August 2029, citing the prospect of tighter donation limits, while Harborne said Reform's economic policies could draw investment and support public services. The funds will finance policy staff and 400 campaign managers, Reform said. The gifts come as Metropolitan Police investigate alleged foreign funding of the party and Farage faces a standards inquiry over a separate £5 million personal gift from Harborne.
