Stack BTC, società sostenuta da Nigel Farage, ha aggiunto 2,7 milioni di dollari in Bitcoin alle sue riserve

[lklol]

Stack BTC, the Aquis-listed Bitcoin treasury company chaired by former United Kingdom Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, made a 2 million British pounds ($2.7 million) Bitcoin purchase on Monday, deepening Nigel Farage’s ties to the company after the Reform UK leader previously invested in the firm and backed its Bitcoin strategy.

According to an April 13 filing, the company purchased 37 Bitcoin (BTC) as part of its treasury strategy at a price of roughly $72,385 per coin and now holds a total of 68.1898 BTC.

The purchase follows Farage’s previously disclosed $286,000 equity investment in the company, which has been marketing itself as a way for UK investors to gain Bitcoin exposure via public markets, and makes Farage the first UK political party leader and sitting member of parliament to publicly back Bitcoin, in what Stack BTC described as a “landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics.”

Farage said in a marketing video announing the purchase that Stack could not be a Bitcoin treasury unless it bought Bitcoin, while Kwarteng said that the company had made “massive progress” in recent weeks, pointing to strong trading activity on the Aquis exchange, as the “number-one traded stock” in March, and describing this acquisition as the beginning of a longer-term Bitcoin strategy

Stack BTC’s share price (STAK) rose 7.5% on Monday, trading at $14.43 up from $13.43 at Friday’s close.

Farage deepens crypto ties as UK targets political donations

Farage’s involvement builds on an earlier investment in the company in March, when he acquired a minority 6.31% stake in the company alongside Kwarteng.

Over the past year, Reform UK has emerged as the UK’s most prominent political group by crypto-linked funding, pulling in about $18 million in 2025 alone, ahead of the ruling Labour Party and the Conservatives. This development has drawn scrutiny from regulators and transparency campaigners.

In March, the UK government announced that it was advancing plans to temporarily ban crypto donations to political parties, following recommendations aimed at reducing the risk of opaque or overseas influence.

While Reform UK has leaned into its association with digital assets and positioned itself as receptive to crypto-backed support, policymakers are preparing tighter rules that could restrict one of the party’s fastest-growing funding channels.
