  Investing in bitcoin in the UK is legal and regulated. However, there are certain legal requirements that you need to be aware of. Firstly, you'll need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. This means you'll have to provide identification documents and undergo verification processes when signing up with a cryptocurrency exchange. Additionally, you'll need to report your bitcoin investments and any capital gains or losses for tax purposes. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're meeting all the necessary requirements.
