RESEARCH PROCESS
IDENTIFICATION
Scan public announcements, crypto donation platforms, Bitcoin community forums, and nonprofit databases to identify organizations accepting Bitcoin.
EVIDENCE COLLECTION
Gather public documentation including press releases, IRS filings, on-chain data, official statements, and third-party reporting.
CLASSIFICATION
Apply five evidence classifications without converting donation acceptance or program activity into a treasury claim.
ONGOING MONITORING
Continuously monitor for policy changes, new announcements, and community feedback. Update classifications as evidence evolves.
CLASSIFICATION TIERS
Each organization in the directory is assigned to one of five research classifications based on what the linked public evidence directly supports.
PUBLIC BITCOIN POLICY
Organizations with a source-linked public statement about retaining or using Bitcoin. This label does not prove a current balance.
- ▸Official policy, announcement, or published statement is linked
- ▸The source’s scope and exceptions are displayed
- ▸The profile distinguishes policy from current holdings
BITCOIN ACTIVITY EVIDENCE
Organizations with source-linked Bitcoin grantmaking, operating, or program evidence that does not independently establish current reserves.
- ▸Official program or grantmaking documentation
- ▸Bitcoin activity is separated from a treasury claim
- ▸No inference from grant denomination to total balance-sheet allocation
BITCOIN-NATIVE MISSION
Organizations whose stated programs or mission are Bitcoin-native. A mission statement is not a statement about asset allocation.
- ▸Official mission or program language is Bitcoin-specific
- ▸The profile avoids converting program focus into a reserve claim
- ▸Donation and treasury policy remain separately assessed
BITCOIN PLATFORM MODEL
Grantmaking, donor-advised-fund, or related infrastructure models that handle Bitcoin without making all handled assets the operator’s treasury.
- ▸Sponsor, platform operator, donor, and recipient roles are separated
- ▸Custody and grant-routing claims are linked
- ▸No corporate-treasury inference from client or donor assets
TREASURY STATUS UNVERIFIED
Organizations that accept Bitcoin or are Bitcoin-related but have no reviewed public Bitcoin-retention or current-holding evidence.
- ▸Bitcoin acceptance or related activity is documented
- ▸No linked public retention policy or dated balance record
- ▸Profile makes the evidence gap explicit
LIMITATIONS
This directory relies on publicly available information. Organizations may hold Bitcoin without public disclosure, or may have changed policies since our last review.
On-chain analysis is limited. Many organizations use custodial services, multisig wallets, or privacy-preserving techniques that make holdings difficult to verify externally.
Classifications represent our best assessment based on available evidence. They are not endorsements or guarantees. We encourage donors to contact organizations directly to confirm current policies before making significant donations.
If you have information that could update a classification, please submit it through our form.
DATA SOURCES
SEE IT IN PRACTICE
These profiles show how the methodology separates source-supported statements from conclusions that remain unverified.
Dated Treasury for the Trees policy with a 100 BTC goal and a stated strategic-liquidity exception. This is not a current balance claim.
VIEW PROFILEDonation page statement that Bitcoin donations are held as long as possible. The record does not publish a total balance.
VIEW PROFILEBitcoin Development Fund and Bitcoin-denominated grantmaking demonstrate program activity, not an organization-wide current treasury balance.
VIEW PROFILEThis record is awaiting a source review. The directory does not make a treasury or retention conclusion until first-party evidence is assessed.
