Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and rapper Jay Z are creating an endowment to fund Bitcoin development initially in Africa and India, Dorsey announced today.
They are putting 500 Bitcoin into the fund, which is worth $23.5 million at current prices. It will be set up as a blind irrevocable trust, Dorsey said, that won't take any direction from its founders once it is set up. They are hiring three board members to get the ball rolling.
The application process provides one further detail. It states that the mission statement is to: "make bitcoin the internet's currency."
JAY-Z/@S_C_ and I are giving 500 BTC to a new endowment named ₿trust to fund #Bitcoin development, initially focused on teams in Africa & India. It‘ll be set up as a blind irrevocable trust, taking zero direction from us. We need 3 board members to start: https://t.co/L4mRBryMJe

Dorsey has long been a fan of the idea that Bitcoin may become the currency of the Internet. Speaking with podcaster Joe Rogan in February 2019, he said, "I believe the Internet will have a native currency and I don’t know if it’s Bitcoin. I think it will be [Bitcoin] given all the tests it has been through and the principles behind it, how it was created. It was something that was born on the Internet, was developed on the Internet, was tested on the Internet, [and] it is of the Internet."
Dorsey has also shown his willingness to back Bitcoin. In October 2020, payments company Square, which Dorsey owns, bought 4,709 Bitcoin ($50 million at the time) as part of its investment strategy. It certainly paid off; that Bitcoin cache is now worth $222 million.
Tesla has invested $1.5 billion into Bitcoin, according to an SEC filing today. "Thereafter, we invested an aggregate $1.50 billion in bitcoin under this policy and may acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or long-term," the filing said. The filing added that Tesla expects to begin accepting Bitcoin as payment for its products, including its cars, in the near future. Bitcoin's price has shot up on the news, rising from $39,000 to $43,000 at press time—breaking a new all-time high....
Twitter itself, however, has not invested in Bitcoin so far. Twitter CFO Ned Segal said earlier this week that the company has considered whether it should invest some of its assets into Bitcoin but has not yet felt it would be appropriate.
"We've done a lot of the upfront thinking to consider how we might pay employees should they ask to be paid in Bitcoin, how we might pay a vendor if they asked to be paid in Bitcoin, and whether we need to have Bitcoin on our balance sheet should that happen," noted Segal.
"It's something we continue to study and look at. We want to be thoughtful about it over time, but we haven't made any changes yet," he added.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has thrown his support behind former staffers from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an agency formed under President Donald Trump's second administration. On Tuesday afternoon, Armstrong retweeted a viral Fox News clip of 22-year-old Ethan Shaotran, a Harvard dropout and DOGE member. This is an open call for any @DOGE staff. If you are looking for your next mission after serving your country, consider helping create a more efficient financial system f...
Twenty One, a new publicly traded Bitcoin company that will trade on the Nasdaq via a planned SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners, already has nearly $459 million worth of Bitcoin waiting for its treasury thanks to a purchase made by stablecoin giant Tether. In an SEC filing Tuesday, Cantor Equity Partners disclosed that Tether—one of the firms collaborating to create Twenty One—purchased 4,812.22 BTC at an average price of $95,319.83 per coin, adding up to $458.7 million worth of Bitcoin. T...
Galaxy Digital Holdings posted a net loss of $295 million in a disappointing first quarter amid a lull in the cryptocurrency market, the company announced Tuesday before U.S. markets opened. Galaxy, which will begin listing its shares on the Nasdaq this Friday as part of a larger reorganization approved last month by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reported a $0.86 loss per share, down from the $388 million Galaxy booked in the year-prior quarter. Those declines came, although the c...
