PANews reported on March 6th that, according to Reuters, the UK Reform Party, under the leadership of Nigel Farage, has received a large donation from crypto investor Christopher Harborne for the second consecutive quarter, raising £5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, of which £3 million will come from Harborne. Previously, in the third quarter, Harborne donated £9 million, setting a record for the largest single donation by a living donor in British political history.

Throughout the year, the Reform Party raised over £18 million in cash donations, more than double the ruling Labour Party's £8.1 million and surpassing the opposition Conservative Party's £13.4 million. The Reform Party currently holds only eight parliamentary seats but has led in national polls since early last year and hopes to win the local elections in May. Two-thirds of the Reform Party's funding last year came from Harborne, which owns a 12% stake in the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex.
