Spotlight on Bitcoin in Cameroon

This week, we’re excited to shine a light on Cameroon’s growing Bitcoin scene. The country’s Bitcoin ecosystem is gradually taking shape, with some incredible initiatives paving the way for adoption.

One of these is Bitcoin Kids, an amazing effort focused on educating kids about Bitcoin. By teaching young minds about financial literacy and the potential of Bitcoin, they’re inspiring the next generation to lead the way in adoption and innovation.

Your passion for educating and empowering people through Bitcoin is evident in your outstanding work teaching the world about financial freedom.

There’s no better partner we could have to celebrate and spotlight the incredible Africans building for Bitcoin across the continent.

We’re driven by a clear and powerful goal: to see 1 Billion Africans holding the keys to at least 1 Million sats each.

This isn’t about fame or fortune for us, it’s about tackling the deep inequalities that Africa faces and creating a future where every African has the same opportunities as the rest of the world.

We’ll go wherever we’re needed and do whatever it takes to make this vision a reality and we are grateful to all those individuals and brands who support us in our journey.

Bitcoin mining is empowering Africans, and we spotlight Kenya's Janet Maingi as our 5th Most Impactful African Bitcoiner for her work with Gridless Compute.

She’s helping bring sustainable, affordable energy to underserved communities, lighting up Africa’s future.
