ABOUT
MATTER is a Minnesota-based global NGO founded in 2002 by Dennis and Megan Doyle as Hope for the City, later rebranded to MATTER. Since inception, the organization has distributed more than $848 million in restorative aid impacting millions of lives globally. MATTER explicitly states on its donation page that it plans to HODL all Bitcoin contributions as a long-term investment and is "not interested in flipping these funds for fiat." This unambiguous public HODL policy places MATTER firmly in the Tier 1 Confirmed Holder category. The organization accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, and frames Bitcoin holding as alignment with the long-term investment philosophy of its crypto donor community.

TREASURY TIMELINE

MATTER's explicit public HODL policy — stating they will not convert Bitcoin to fiat — is one of the clearest treasury reserve commitments in the nonprofit sector. Unlike organizations that accept crypto but immediately liquidate, MATTER treats Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset aligned with donor intent.
