About Us
Education is the on-ramp
We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a simple mission: make accurate Bitcoin knowledge free and accessible to everyone — beginners, educators, and businesses alike.
Our mission
Empowering people through Bitcoin education
Bitcoin can be confusing, and confusion is where scams and bad decisions thrive. We exist to fix that — with clear, honest education that meets people where they are.
Everything we publish is free and open-source. We're funded entirely by donations and our Satoshi Society members, which keeps our materials independent and available to anyone, anywhere.
We teach how Bitcoin actually works — the strengths and the trade-offs — never price predictions.
Our materials are free to use and openly licensed. Knowledge should not sit behind a paywall.
We ask for as little personal information as possible and accept donations without accounts.
Funded by donations from people who believe in the mission, so our education stays neutral.
Our impact
What your support makes possible
Concrete work that helps real developers, educators, and communities today.
Open-source curriculum on GitHub
A free, classroom-ready Bitcoin curriculum any educator can fork, translate, and teach — no license, no cost.
Grants for open-source contributors
Small, no-strings grants that let developers ship documentation, wallets, and Lightning tooling the ecosystem depends on.
Community meetups & workshops
We sponsor local meetups and run hands-on self-custody workshops so newcomers learn safely, in person.
Translation & accessibility
Funding translators and screen-reader-friendly guides so Bitcoin education reaches people in their own language.
Starter kits for businesses
Plain-language playbooks that help small businesses accept Lightning payments without a finance team.
Support for builders in hard places
Backing educators and projects in regions with unstable currencies, where Bitcoin literacy matters most.
