Bitcoin Is Officially Property Under UK’s New Property Act 2025
The UK has taken a major step forward in recognising the future of digital assets. On 2 December 2025, the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025 ...
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. @Susie Violet @fnew

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. More on:

Our CEO @Susie Violet 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. image
