We’ve sent an open letter to Lucy Rigby, urging HM Treasury to seize the UK’s first-mover advantage in Bitcoin. With 61,000+ BTC already held by the UK, smart policy could unlock jobs, innovation, and lower energy costs. Full letter on our website: tinyurl.com/4rstdjsw
Our team were out speaking with energy providers such as National Grid and Windward Energy Group about how the combination of #BitcoinMining and renewables is a perfect fit for the UK energy market. #Labour25 #Bitcoin
We had a positive discussion with Metlen Energy & Metals today. We discussed how #Bitcoin mining can help lower energy costs and boost the profitability of renewables for the UK. We're exploring practical ways to power innovation and financial inclusion. #Labour25 image
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!
