🟧 1 Billion Sats — Where the Funding Really Goes 🟧
In 2025, the Human Rights Foundation / Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) gifted 800 million sats to 22 projects advancing:
⚡ Bitcoin education in dictatorships
🕵️ Privacy tools & open-source software
🕊️ Support for activists under authoritarian regimes
Meanwhile, OpenSats keeps funding open-source Bitcoin + Nostr initiatives:
Mostro → P2P protocol built on Nostr
Payjoin → Transaction privacy upgrade
Cashu/ecash → Expanding the freedom tech ecosystem
💡 What this means:
1️⃣ This isn’t hype — it’s real funding for freedom tech.
2️⃣ The “1 billion sats” figure is aggregate across HRF, OpenSats & private donors.
3️⃣ These grants have direct impact: from privacy layers to activist resilience.
🧡 Bitcoin. Privacy. Freedom.
The future is being funded — one sat at a time.
