Critics return as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage discloses £2 million Bitcoin stake
United Kingdom Member of Parliament Nigel Farage has added £2 million ($2.7 million) in Bitcoin to his wealth portfolio. According to reports, he made the purchase through Stack, a listed UK Bitcoin treasury firm. Per the April 13 announcement, Nigel Farage has become the first-ever MP and the first-ever UK political party leader to invest in Bitcoin for trade. Nigel Farage goes heavy on Bitcoin Farage’s Bitcoin purchase has been termed a landmark moment for BTC in the politics of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Praised by many, critics have also weighed in with questions about how politicians are investing in crypto coins and the effects it now has on normal day traders. 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 On the other hand, Frage has quite a relationship with Stack BTC. At the start of 2026, Nigel Farage made heavy investments in the Bitcoin company. According to reports, he invested £215,000, around $288,500, through his company, Thorn In The Side Ltd. With that purchase, Farage secured roughly 6% ownership in the Aquis-listed Bitcoin treasury firm chaired by former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng. In the video released by Stack, the company hints at upcoming Bitcoin purchases, adding that the Farage BTC buy is but “the beginning of a great journey.” In a different X post , Stack announced the purchase of 37 Bitcoins for £2 million, bringing total Bitcoin holdings to 68. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is presently trading at $70,963. At that price, Stack’s total BTC holdings stand at approximately $4.825 million. Farage accused of playing Trump games with crypto Today’s purchase has only amplified Farage’s behavioral tendencies that investors now tie to POTUS Donald J. Trump. Nigel Farage also receives crypto donations. Reports have it that Ben Delo, BitMEX’s co-founder, donated 4 million pounds (approximately $5.1 million) to Farage’s Reform UK party. Farage acknowledges support from Ben Delo. Source: Nigel Farage via X As reported by Cryptopolitan, Farage is already working on the deregulation of the crypto industry, hoping to breathe new life into the UK crypto industry should his party come to power. For Farage, the UK financial services industry has become anemic since its management by both the Conservatives and Labour parties. According to the Electoral Commission’s guidelines, crypto donations are not illegal under electoral law, though they should be classified as non-cash donations and evaluated in pounds. In addition, parties have to confirm the donor’s identity, especially if the donation exceeds 500 pounds. Secondly, the Reform UK party received a £9M ($12 million) donation from Christopher Harborne, a crypto investor. The Trump playbook has roots. According to Reuters, Farage is a friend of United States President Donald Trump. Two-thirds of Reform’s funds in the last year have come from Harborne. He has stated in court filings that he owns 12% of Bitfinex, a crypto exchange that is a subsidiary of Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer. Christopher Harborne had previously been one of the biggest individual donors in politics, donating over £10 million in installments to Farage’s Brexit Party for their 2019 campaign. Nigel Farage also received £28,000 (around $37,609) from Harborne to attend the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Nigel Farage’s crypto investments are “a scandal hiding in plain sight” It has been reported that Farage’s political campaign is now starting to resemble a giveaway show, offering massive financial gains for everyone. As long as investors become convinced that Nigel Farage will eventually take control of No 10 Downing Street – and that a Reform government will work to promote his crypto stakeholders – the positive outcome becomes self-fulfilling. This is not only an investment in Bitcoin; it is an investment in political influence and power. Should this new era of Bitcoin materialize in the United Kingdom, Stack BTC is well-positioned for strong business. While Trump’s playbook may prove successful in the US, Farage sells Reform UK as a way to circumvent elites, support technological innovations, and give power back to “the people”. To many investors, Trump has not held his end of the bargain, neither will Farage. Don’t just read crypto news. Understand it. Subscribe to our newsletter. It's free .

XRP FUD Reaches Two-Year Extreme as Analyst Targets $8.50 Breakout
XRP entered the new week under heavy bearish sentiment as social commentary around the token turned sharply negative. Santiment reported that fear, uncertainty, and doubt around XRP reached one of its highest levels in the past two years. At the same time, analysts pointed to a long-term chart structure that could still support a major breakout. XRP Weekly Sentiment Turns Negative Santiment reported that XRP’s weekly social data has fallen to one of its weakest readings in two years. The platform said bearish comments have overtaken bullish comments across major social platforms, showing that many retail traders have turned cautious after XRP’s extended decline from its 2025 peak. XRP recorded 1.02 bullish comments for every 1.00 bearish comment over the past week. While that ratio may appear balanced, it reflects an unusually pessimistic backdrop for XRP, especially when compared with earlier periods of stronger optimism. Santiment described the current reading as the third-highest FUD level for XRP in the past two years. XRP weekly social data | Source: X The firm also pointed to earlier cases when XRP sentiment dropped to similar levels. In February 2025, the ratio slipped to 0.96 bullish comments per 1.00 bearish comment as XRP fell from about $2.78 to $1.79. Santiment said that phase later marked a local bottom before the token recovered toward $3 in early March. A similar pattern appeared again in October 2025. At that time, the positive-to-negative comment ratio fell to 1.01, and XRP dropped to around $0.77 on Binance before rebounding to $2.69. Based on those earlier moves, deeply negative sentiment preceded short-term recoveries in XRP price. Analyst Points to XRP Long-term Breakout While social sentiment remains weak, Ali Martinez said XRP has continued to trade within a rising triangle that has been forming on the monthly chart since 2017. The pattern shows repeated rejections near resistance and repeated rebounds from a rising support line. Martinez said the structure has now tightened near its apex, a stage that often precedes a larger move. He identified the upper resistance area around $3.30 and said a confirmed breakout from that long-term range could open the way toward $8.50. Based on current price levels, that target would represent a gain of more than 530%. Martinez also identified the $0.75 to $0.80 zone as a critical area to watch if XRP price faces another pullback. In his view, that range could act as the final major buy-the-dip zone before the triangle resolves. His chart suggests that XRP remains inside the broader structure despite repeated setbacks over the years. Meanwhile, analyst CryptoOnchain said Binance’s XRP taker buy and sell data shows a shift toward stronger accumulation. The 100-day moving average for the taker buy ratio recently reached a record high, while the 30-day reading climbed to 0.495. At the same time, the taker-seller ratio fell to 0.505, suggesting reduced selling pressure.
