Government: Cryptoassets

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 2 March 2026UIN 114894

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, through which (a) companies and (b) registries HM Government holds its crypto-assets.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

Neither the Treasury nor central Government hold any cryptoassets. However, the Government recognises the transformative potential of cryptoassets and blockchain technologies to drive economic growth in the UK and increase efficiencies across financial markets.

We are therefore committed to making the UK a world leading destination for cryptoassets and have taken steps to establish a new financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets.
