In 2025, we’re scaling up our efforts across Africa, and we’re inviting you to be part of this transformative journey.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to drive Bitcoin adoption by empowering communities with the tools, education, and initiatives they need to thrive.
Last year, thanks to partnerships like the one with Trezor Academy, we were able to deliver an incredible Most Impactful African Bitcoiners Award. Their feedback? We exceeded their expectations. And that’s what we’re all about, going the extra mile to ensure our partners feel the impact of their support in meaningful ways.
This year, we’re raising the bar even higher. We’re expanding key programs like the Bitcoin for Beginners Course, updating the African Bitcoin Ecosystem Infographic, and hosting community events like
seminars and development bootcamps. Each of these initiatives is designed to reach more people, educate communities, and build trust in Bitcoin as a tool for empowerment and opportunity.
By partnering with us, you’ll align your brand with innovation, growth, and real impact. You’ll connect with Africa’s vibrant, young, and dynamic audience while supporting initiatives that are changing lives. Whether your goal is to grow your reach or back projects that make a difference, we’ll work with you to create opportunities that fit your vision.
Partner with us and be a part of shaping the future. Your support can make all the difference.
