“Same risk, same regulation only works if you understand the risk.”
A thoughtful discussion at the London Business School on whether the UK’s approach to digital assets is helping or hindering its ability to compete for capital and talent.

Bitcoin ≠ “crypto” and regulation should reflect that.
Treating all digital assets as one category flattens real differences in risk, governance, and structure. A decentralised monetary network is not the same as an issuer-led token.
Good regulation starts with accurate classification.

Bitcoin Policy UK is entering a consolidation phase.
This means scaling back to a minimal, maintenance-only operation, keeping our research, website, and communications active, to ensure continuity of our work supporting evidence-based Bitcoin policy in the UK.
Our mission hasn’t changed. This is about sustainability, responsibility, and preserving what’s been built so far.

The UK is wasting billions curtailing renewable energy, paying wind farms to switch off while burning fossil fuels to balance the grid.
Bitcoin mining is the only flexible, scalable “buyer of last resort” that can absorb surplus renewables instantly and stabilise the grid.
If the UK wants a real green transition, it can’t ignore Bitcoin mining.

On 3 January 2009, the Bitcoin network launched with the mining of its first block, known as the Genesis Block.
Embedded in that block was a headline from The Times newspaper:
“Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
The message permanently anchors Bitcoin’s origin to the global financial crisis and the policy responses of that period.
Seventeen years on, it still operates under the same core rules.
Happy Genesis Day.

Bitcoin is Property: It's Official Under The UK's Digital Assets Act 2025
The UK has enacted the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025, formally recognising digital assets, including Bitcoin and crypto, as a new category of property.
This act, which received Royal Assent from King Charles III and came into force yesterday, introduces a "third category" of personal property beyond traditional things (like physical objects) and claims (like debts or intellectual property). This third type of personal property is digital assets, a class that includes Bitcoin, crypto, NFTs, and other tokenised digital items. This provides legal clarity, enabling better consumer protection against theft, fraud, or disputes in insolvency cases. It also strengthens the foundations for institutional adoption and future innovation across the UK’s digital asset landscape by providing a clear legal basis for ownership and transfer.
Bitcoin Policy UK has long championed legal clarity for digital assets, and this milestone reflects the impact of our advocacy, helping drive real, legislative progress in the UK.
We remain committed to shaping the next wave of smart, fair regulation.

Spotlight: Cartwright - The First UK Pension Fund To Invest in Bitcoin
Bitcoin Policy UK is proud to highlight one of our long-standing strategic partners, Cartwright, a pioneering British pension specialist delivering bespoke financial services since 1986.
In a landmark move for the UK pensions sector, Cartwright advised the nation’s first pension fund to allocate 3% of its £50 million portfolio directly into Bitcoin, not through spot ETFs, but via direct ownership.
This groundbreaking allocation followed a rigorous due diligence process, including extensive reviews of ESG considerations, the investment case, and security and custody standards.
Cartwright’s forward-thinking approach demonstrates how traditional financial institutions can apply robust governance, research-led analysis, and risk management to embrace innovative asset classes. Their work sets an important precedent for how UK pension schemes can consider Bitcoin in a responsible and strategic way.
We are proud to work alongside organisations like Cartwright who are shaping the future of pensions and helping position the UK as a global leader in responsible Bitcoin adoption.

Our CEO @nprofile…anmm visited Chatham House to speak to the Texas Bankers Association about the UK, Bitcoin and the future of payments.
We discussed how Texas is using Bitcoin mining to stabilise renewable grids and how the UK continues to fall behind with broken tax treatment and unclear regulation.
The panel also touched on Visa’s plans for programmable money and ‘trusted and controlled’ payments, offering an interesting contrast in how different visions for the future of money are being built.
We need to keep the UK focused on innovation, competitiveness and economic resilience.
Looking forward to having more conversations like this.

Bitcoin for the UK: Our Briefing for the House of Lords
If you've ever wondered why Bitcoin keeps making headlines - or why it’s more than just “internet money” - our new briefing paper for the House of Lords explains why.
Bitcoin is a strategic opportunity for the UK: a secure, decentralised monetary network that supports innovation, energy resilience, and even humanitarian efforts worldwide. But right now, UK policy is holding that potential back.
The current “one-size-fits-all” approach treats Bitcoin like every other speculative crypto token - discouraging responsible innovation while pushing people toward offshore, unregulated markets.
We’ve outlined 4 practical policy fixes to change that:
-Create a separate regulatory category for Bitcoin
-Simplify taxation on small transactions
-Allow access to regulated Bitcoin ETFs
-Stop debanking legitimate businesses
With proportionate regulation, the UK can unlock innovation, protect consumers, and strengthen its position as a global financial leader.

A Balanced Approach to AML and Innovation
BPUK fully supports the UK’s commitment to robust anti–money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) standards. However, as we note in our response, regulation must remain proportionate, risk-based, and clearly scoped to avoid stifling legitimate businesses and innovation.
We emphasise four key principles:
Proportionate and evidence-based: Target AML efforts where real risks exist.
Clear scope: Exclude open-source developers, miners, and non-custodial wallet providers who cannot perform AML functions.
Respect for privacy and safety: Avoid linking personal data with Bitcoin addresses, which could expose individuals to risk.
Support for UK competitiveness: Ensure that regulatory clarity encourages investment, rather than driving it offshore.
Key Recommendations
Clarify the definition of “cryptoasset business.”
The scope should cover only exchanges and custodial wallet providers, explicitly excluding non-custodial wallet developers and network participants such as node operators and miners.
Limit counterparty due diligence to hosted services.
Requirements for customer due diligence should apply only to interactions between regulated providers, not to self-hosted wallets, which cannot comply as a matter of design.
Protect privacy in information sharing.
Bitcoin’s transparency requires careful handling of data.
Personally identifiable information should never be unnecessarily linked to wallet addresses or shared across multiple authorities without strong safeguards.
Clarify registration and control rules.
“Fit and proper” tests and change-in-control requirements should apply only to businesses offering custodial or intermediary services, not to developers or users of open-source tools.
Set realistic thresholds.
Proposed low-value thresholds for due diligence and reporting should be adjusted to avoid burdening small, low-risk transactions and reviewed regularly to remain proportionate.
Our Position
Bitcoin represents a transformative technology with the potential to enhance financial inclusion, transparency, and economic resilience. The UK has a historic opportunity to lead, but only if regulation is clear, fair, and supportive of innovation.
We call on HM Treasury, the FCA, and other stakeholders to work closely with industry experts to develop a balanced, evidence-based framework that protects consumers without undermining growth.
We also urge policymakers to follow the examples set by the EU’s MiCA and AML frameworks, which explicitly protect non-custodial innovation.
We believe this approach will strengthen the UK’s reputation as a forward-thinking, tech-positive jurisdiction.
Bitcoin Policy UK stands ready to assist regulators and lawmakers with technical insight, industry engagement, and constructive dialogue to ensure the UK achieves this balance.

Countdown to the Labour Party Annual Conference 2025: just two weeks to go.
From 28 September to 1 October, policymakers, industry leaders, and delegates will gather in Liverpool for a pivotal event. For Bitcoin Policy UK, this is an opportunity to engage directly with MPs and provide evidence-based insights into how Bitcoin can strengthen the UK economy.
We will highlight the real-world impact of missed opportunities. For example, the UK currently pays wind farms £1 billion a year to switch off turbines when the grid cannot handle excess power, while companies in Texas use surplus renewable energy to mine Bitcoin. The UK could do the same, turning waste into wealth.
Our advocacy focuses on three priorities:
A clear regulatory framework that supports businesses and encourages innovation
Better education for policymakers on Bitcoin and its unique role
Progressive policies that leverage renewable resources and unlock new opportunities
We invite all attendees to visit Stand B4 in the main exhibition hall to join these important conversations.
Mark your calendars and engage in the conversation!

The UK's crypto landscape. That was the discussion last night at Bitget's Elites Crypto Days held in London and attended by Bitcoin Policy UK’s CEO, @nprofile…jg3g.
Takeaways:
UK is losing crypto firms fast due to uncertainty and high compliance costs
Policymakers lack understanding of the difference between Bitcoin and crypto, leading to poor regulation
Other nations, like the UAE and Singapore with clear rules, are reaping the rewards
The UK is missing over £1bn annually in economic benefits
Bitcoin Policy UK continues to make education and regulatory clarity our top priorities

In light of recent speculation that the Labour Party may consider liquidating the UK's Bitcoin reserves of 61,250 bitcoins, we are eager to engage with Labour MPs and influential figures to present a more strategic approach to managing this valuable asset.
Our presence at the conference provides a unique opportunity to discuss the potential benefits of holding and strategically managing Bitcoin reserves. We believe that Bitcoin should be viewed as a strategic financial opportunity rather than a liability to be sold. At Stand B4 in the main exhibition hall, we will be available to engage in dialogue with policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders. Our goal is to highlight how Bitcoin can serve as a hedge against inflation, a store of value, and a catalyst for economic innovation.
Join us in advocating for a smarter approach to Bitcoin management. Your support and donations to our Geyser fund are crucial in helping us continue our mission.

On Bitcoin Pizza Day we mark the first real-world Bitcoin transaction when 10,000 BTC was sent on 22 May 2010 from one person to another online to pay for two pizzas.
This was the moment Bitcoin moved from an idea to a force in global finance.

🚨 Bitcoin Policy UK Delivers 2025 Manifesto to All 650 MPs 🚨
This week, Bitcoin Policy UK took a major step forward in our mission to bring Bitcoin into the heart of UK policy by sending our 2025 Bitcoin Policy Manifesto to every Member of Parliament. 📩
This move responds directly to recent comments from the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Emma Reynolds, who dismissed the idea of a national Bitcoin reserve. We believe this is a missed opportunity - and we're taking action.
🔍 What’s in the Manifesto?
Fair and Clear Regulation – Promoting transparency, sustainability, innovation, and inclusion.
Leadership in Bitcoin Innovation – Backing UK-based Bitcoin projects, especially environmentally responsible mining.
Education and Engagement – Helping policymakers and the public understand Bitcoin's benefits, risks, and energy use.
Tax Reforms and Individual Rights – Simple, practical rules on small transactions and protecting custody and privacy rights.
🇬🇧 The UK has a long-standing legacy of innovation in finance and technology. If we want to lead in the 21st century, forward-thinking policy is not optional - it’s essential.
📢 Read the manifesto and join the movement. Ask your local MP to take Bitcoin seriously.
👉 Read the manifesto here: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/aea8e937-fd18-400f-afd9-c3513112c757/downloads/f7294799-86fa-4598-ad0b-a78554590c27/Bitcoin%20Policy%20UK%20Manifesto%202025.pdf

God Bless Bitcoin is a documentary that questions the system we’re told to trust.
It discusses how Bitcoin decentralises power and ties into more profound questions about money, morality and faith.

The UK is falling behind in Bitcoin policy.
We need a clear, pro-growth framework that fosters innovation.
Let’s fix this together.
Who should be paying attention?
