Crypto Billionaires Give Reform UK $97M in Record Donations BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo has given Reform UK £36 million, the largest single donation in British political history. Tether investor Christopher Harborne matched it a day later, saying his "competitive spirit" prompted him. The combined £72 million exceeds the roughly £69 million all UK parties took in donations last year. Delo made his announcement in the Telegraph on Friday, calling it the biggest single donation ever made to a British party. It is more than four times the £8 million he had already given Reform this year. He is giving the equivalent of £1 million a month until the latest date Labour could call an election in 2029, but paying up front in case the government caps large donations. ⚠️ Personal market analysis only.
