Powering a sustainable UK economy with Bitcoin
When it comes to Bitcoin, Africa isn’t waiting, it’s leading. At the African Bitcoin Conference, builders showed how Bitcoin is solving real problems: high remittance fees, broken currencies, limited banking access, and energy gaps. From education to microgrids to circular economies, Africa is using Bitcoin to build real financial freedom. Read more in our latest blog:
The African Bitcoin Conference showed that you don’t need to wait for permission. Real world adoption, energy innovation and policy coordination are accelerating across the continent. Africa is building the future. It was an honour for @npub1hwgw...03sg and @fnew to represent Bitcoin Policy UK and be part of these conversations.

Bitcoin is Property The UK has officially recognised Bitcoin and other digital assets as a new category of personal property under the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025. This is a major step forward for legal clarity, investor confidence and innovation. We are proud that our work at Bitcoin Policy UK has helped drive progress. We’ll continue advocating for fair tax rules and clear regulation in 2026. @npub1hwgw...03sg @fnew Read more in our latest blog:
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. @npub1hwgw...03sg @fnew
