Multiple outlets report that crypto-linked donors give $9.4 million to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in the first quarter. The donations are attributed to Christopher Harborne, described as a Tether investor, and Ben Delo, described as a BitMEX co-founder. The reporting says the two donors together outspend many of Britain’s traditional political donor networks during the same period. One account frames the contributions as part of Reform UK’s pro-crypto stance, while another focuses on the scale of the outlay compared with typical donors. Across both sources, the central facts remain consistent: the timing (Q1), the recipients (Reform UK, associated with Nigel Farage), the donors (Harborne and Delo), and the total amount reported ($9.4 million). The articles do not add further specifics about how the funds are used or disclose additional donors beyond those mentioned.
