$2.7M Bitcoin Buy: Politician-Backed Stack BTC Expands Treasury
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has become the first sitting British MP and party leader to publicly back Bitcoin — a distinction his own company was quick to highlight when it announced his involvement. A Company Built Around A Single Asset Stack BTC , listed on the Aquis exchange and chaired by former UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, bought 37 Bitcoin on Monday for roughly $2.7 million, or about £2 million. The purchase price worked out to approximately $72,385 per coin. The company now holds 68.19 BTC in total. Stack BTC markets itself as a way for UK investors to gain crypto exposure through public markets — essentially a listed vehicle that holds Bitcoin so ordinary shareholders don’t have to hold it themselves. Its share price climbed 7.3% on Monday, closing at $14.42, up from $13.42 at Friday’s close. BREAKING: Nigel Farage has purchased £2m of Bitcoin for Stack BTC – becoming the first sitting MP and the first UK political party leader in history to publicly buy Bitcoin. A landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics. $STAK @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc … pic.twitter.com/O614kKe5TN — Stack BTC (@stackbtc_) April 13, 2026 Farage already had skin in the game before Monday’s announcement. He disclosed a $286,000 equity stake in Stack BTC, giving him a 6.31% minority holding in the company. Kwarteng holds a stake as well. Both investments were disclosed in March. In a video tied to Monday’s purchase, Farage said a Bitcoin treasury company could not function without actually holding BTC. Kwarteng said the firm had made significant progress over recent weeks. Reform UK Pulled In $18M In Crypto Donations Last Year The announcement lands at an awkward moment for Farage politically. Over the past year, Reform UK collected around $18 million in crypto-linked donations — more than either the ruling Labour Party or the Conservatives. That figure drew scrutiny from regulators and transparency groups. The UK government responded by pushing forward plans to temporarily prohibit crypto donations to political parties. UK lawmakers have since called for a moratorium on such contributions. The proposed ban would cut off one of Reform UK’s most productive funding streams. Farage has not publicly addressed that conflict directly. Bitcoin Backing Puts Farage Ahead Of His UK Political Rivals Reports indicate that no other sitting British MP or party leader has taken a comparable financial position in Bitcoin. Stack BTC described Farage’s involvement as a landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics. Whether that framing holds depends partly on what happens next in Parliament, where the crypto donation restrictions are still working their way through.

Pi Network price flashes a highly bullish pattern: will it surge soon?
Pi Network price remains in a narrow range this month and is underperforming top tokens like Bitcoin and Venice. It was trading at $0.1650 on Tuesday, inside the narrow range it has remained at since February. It remains 45% below its March highs despite the recent developments. Pi Network price drops as it prepares smart contracts launch The Pi Core Team has made some major developments in the past few months. A key development is the ongoing upgrade to version 23, which will introduce more features to the network. The most important one is the introduction of smart contracts to the network, which will make it easy for developers to build applications in areas like decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming. In a statement this week, the developers said that they had launched the RPC server on the testnet, which will make it possible for developers to build these applications. It will also help them to test contract behavior, and integrate real-time blockchain data. https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/2043729232870646133 Once fully activated, the upgrade will make Pi a direct competitor to popular chains like Ethereum, Solana, and BSC Chain. The goal is that the new applications launched on the network will boost Pi’s utility over time. Still, the main challenge is that the smart contract industry has become highly competitive, with the top names like Ethereum, Solana, and BSC having the biggest market share. In line with this it is unclear whether the top developers in the crypto industry, like AAVE, Uniswap, and Raydium, will deploy on the network. The same case applies to popular stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and RLUSD. Pi Network has made more milestones in the past few months. It continues the KYC process that has brought millions of people to the mainnet. Also, Pi Network was recently listed on Kraken , a top American exchange. Additionally, the second migration concluded recently, a move that also introduced more tokens to the network. The developers are also working on launching the KYC as a service solution that leverages its technology that has verified millions of people. Most notably, the developers concluded a trial with OpenMind that will see node operators provide resources to the network. Pi Coin price technical analysis: falling wedge pattern emerges Pi Network price chart | Source: TradingView The daily chart shows that the Pi Network price has slumped in the past few weeks, erasing the gains made in March. As a result, it has moved below all moving averages, a sign that bears have prevailed. The token’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD indicators have continued falling in this period. On the positive side, it has formed a falling wedge, which is charactrized by two falling and converging trendlines. Therefore, the token will likely rebound in the coming days. If this happens, it may soar to the next key resistance level at $0.200, which is about 22% above the current level. A drop below the support level at $0.15 will invalidate the bullish outlook.
