Nigel Farage paid by Trump crypto adviser who worked with Russia operative Paul Manafort

Brexit ‘Bad Boy’ Richard Tice says he doesn’t know who’s behind offshore firms that own a large stake in his family business – MEP calls for ‘urgent’ action.

Nigel Farage has been paid by a cryptocurrency adviser to US President Donald Trump, who worked with Paul Manafort – Trump’s former campaign chair, jailed for financial crimes after investigations into his Kremlin-aligned influence operations – to lobby the president on Bitcoin policy.

David Bailey, chief executive of BTC Inc and a senior cryptocurrency adviser to Trump, brought Manafort into his lobbying operation in early 2024. Together, Manafort and Bailey spent the rest of the year working to persuade Trump to embrace Bitcoin and establish America’s first Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Bailey subsequently paid Farage a speaking fee through BTC Inc, months before the Reform UK leader unveiled a pro-crypto policy platform that mirrors the Trump administration’s digital asset agenda.
