Our Mission

Bitcoin in the Wild is a non-profit organisation utilising Bitcoin to support wildlife, education, and conservation projects across Africa.

The Challenge

Funding Conservation Sustainably

Non-profit organisations depend heavily on public donations to carry out their mission. For many conservation and community projects, keeping transaction costs low and ensuring fast access to funds is essential.

While initiatives such as merchandise sales, art projects, and educational programmes can provide additional support, they are often not enough to cover the growing operational costs faced by organisations working in challenging environments.

At the same time, inflation and rising living costs continue to reduce the ability of people to donate consistently — an understandable reality as many individuals are struggling financially themselves.

Conservation organisations need a funding system that is efficient, transparent, borderless, and capable of supporting long-term sustainability.

The Solution

Wildlife Conservation for the Long Term

Bitcoin offers a powerful alternative.

As a decentralised and borderless monetary network, Bitcoin enables fast, low-cost donations from anywhere in the world without relying on traditional banking systems. Its transparent public ledger increases accountability, while self-custody allows organisations to maintain sovereignty over their funds.

With a fixed supply and resistance to inflation, Bitcoin also provides a long-term store of value that can help strengthen the sustainability of conservation initiatives.

We choose to work exclusively with Bitcoin because it aligns with our core values of transparency, financial sovereignty, and long-term impact.

What We Do

Bitcoin in the Wild is an independent, mission-driven initiative using Bitcoin to support wildlife conservation, environmental education, and community-based projects across Africa.

We collaborate with local organisations and community-led initiatives to help direct support toward projects focused on wildlife protection, education, and environmental impact.

In addition to funding projects, we also advocate for the practical use of Bitcoin and open financial tools within conservation and community development contexts.

Our Approach

How We Operate

All Bitcoin contributions are received directly into self-custodial wallets controlled by our team and are used to support the long-term activities of this private initiative.

Funds are held and managed collectively by the initiative and allocated over time in alignment with our mission to support conservation and community-based projects. Allocation decisions are made internally by the team based on project needs, impact priorities, and available resources.

Transparency Notice: Bitcoin in the Wild is an independent private initiative and not a registered charity or non-profit organisation. Contributions are voluntary and support our mission. Please review our Terms of Use for details.

We collaborate directly with trusted local partners on the ground to maximize the impact of contributions and support meaningful outcomes for wildlife, people, and the planet. Get to know us.

We do not hold or manage assets on behalf of third parties, and contributions should be understood as voluntary support for our work rather than fiduciary or custodial services.
