Christopher Harborne Donates $12M to Nigel Farage-Led Reform Party
Summary
Thailand-based entrepreneur and crypto investor Christopher Harborne, who has holdings in Tether and Bitfinex, donated £9 million (equivalent to $12 million) to the UK political party Reform, led by Nigel Farage. This donation was reportedly the largest ever made to a UK political party by a living person, surpassing the previous record set by Lord John Sainsbury's £10 million bequest to the Conservative party in 2022. Harborne has previously supported Reform (when it was the Brexit Party) and the Conservatives. The donation helped Reform receive more funding than any other UK party in the third quarter of 2025. While Nigel Farage has courted the crypto vote by accepting crypto donations and promising a Bitcoin reserve if elected, Harborne's specific donation was made in cash.
