Bitcoin Policy UK has ended its consolidation phase and is moving into its next stage with a clearer structure and renewed focus.
Susie (nprofile…yh4k) Violet Ward has resumed the role of CEO, with Cristina Llamas leading operations as COO.
Even while operating at reduced capacity, the work continued. During consolidation BPUK:
- responded to FCA Consultation Paper CP25/40 on cryptoasset regulation
- sent its 2026 Manifesto to all 650 MPs
- responded to the Government’s Digital ID consultation
- published research on the structural risks of Bitcoin treasury companies
- published and updated the BPUK Privacy Toolkit
- responded to HMRC on stablecoin taxation
- submitted evidence on banking access
- responded to HMRC on cryptoasset lending
- responded to the Bank of England on systemic stablecoins
Susie said, “Bitcoin has no CEO, no head office and no central body speaking for it. Bitcoin does not need permission. Our job is to make sure policymakers understand how it works and where rules built around issuers and intermediaries do not fit.”
BPUK remains a small, independent team run by volunteers with limited resources, but consolidation is over and we are excited about what comes next.
