Bitcoin’s future may be decentralized, but its growth depends on education—and ₿trust is stepping up. In May 2025, the Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z-backed non-profit announced over $1 million in grants to fund grassroots Bitcoin education and development across Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

The funds were awarded to 10 diverse projects, including:

• Bitshala (India) – open-source Bitcoin curriculum for university students

• B4OS (Latin America) – Spanish-language courseware and workshops

• Bitcoin++ Ghana – hands-on dev training and local Bitcoin tools

• Nigeria Bitcoin Meetup Circuit – expanding community events in key cities

• Summer of Bitcoin – internship programs connecting students with global Bitcoin projects

This funding drive reflects ₿trust’s long-term strategy: building Bitcoin talent in the Global South. Instead of VC capital or product launches, it’s focused on supporting open-source contributors, educators, and community organizers working to spread real Bitcoin knowledge—not hype.
What makes this story different is its focus on Bitcoin as infrastructure, not just price speculation. By backing developers and teachers from emerging regions, ₿trust is helping lay the foundation for a more inclusive, permissionless financial future.
This grant program hasn't been widely reported, but it signals something powerful: Bitcoin's most meaningful adoption may come not from Wall Street—but from workshops in Lagos, classrooms in Mumbai, and meetups in São Paulo. And it’s already happening.
