Compressibility of boron subphosphide B12P2 has been studied under quasi-hydrostatic conditions up to 26 GPa and 2600 K using laser-heated diamond anvil cell and angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction. 300-K data fit yields the values of bulk modulus B0 = 192(11) GPa and its first pressure derivative B0' = 5.5(12). At ambient pressure the thermal expansion is quasi-linear up to 1300 K with average volume expansion coefficient {\alpha} = 17.4(1) 10-6 K-1. The whole set of experimental p-V-T data is well described by the Anderson-Gr\"uneisen model with {\delta}T = 6.
