Bitcoin Policy UK has sent an open letter to Economic Secretary to the Treasury Lucy Rigby ahead of Labour Conference, following our 5 September invitation to meet at our stand. We explain why the UK’s position as the third largest sovereign holder of bitcoin cannot be ignored.

Bitcoin Policy UK is featured in the Labour Party Annual Conference 2025 guide. With 61,250 bitcoin held by the UK government, it’s vital that policymakers understand Bitcoin’s role in supporting freedom, innovation, and green energy.

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!

Fireside chat with at Winston Capital’s crypto drinks. “Bitcoin is potentially a hedge against sovereign debt default.”

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, . 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
