The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) has unveiled a significant new Bitcoin Development Fund grant distribution, allocating 10 BTC (valued at $590,000) to 20 diverse projects worldwide. These initiatives are primarily focused on advancing technical education and decentralizing Bitcoin mining in regions under authoritarian regimes, including Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The grants aim to enhance private financial solutions for human rights groups and support Bitcoin development conferences.

Among the beneficiaries are African Bitcoiners, which educates Africans on Bitcoin amidst economic turmoil, and Stratospher, a developer improving Bitcoin’s privacy and decentralization. Other notable projects include Coracle, enhancing social media privacy; Harbor, developing a privacy-centric ecash wallet; and Kiveclair, providing Bitcoin education in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These grants represent HRF’s ongoing commitment to fostering financial sovereignty and resisting financial surveillance through innovative Bitcoin solutions.
