Third Wave of Education Grants
We are thrilled to announce our third wave of education grants, dedicated to advancing Bitcoin literacy and community development across the globe. These grants represent our ongoing commitment to supporting projects that make Bitcoin education more accessible, practical, and inspiring.
Whether it's building foundational knowledge, driving merchant adoption, or creating engaging content, each project in this wave aims to empower individuals and communities with the tools and understanding needed to participate in the growing Bitcoin ecosystem.
This wave of grants is made possible by the generosity of our donors, whose support enables us to fund impactful educational initiatives. We are grateful for their commitment and hope these initiatives will empower a wide base of current and future Bitcoin users.
Educational content produced under these grants will be published under permissive and open licenses, ensuring it remains accessible to everyone.
Here are the four projects receiving grants in this wave:
Each of these projects brings unique value to the global Bitcoin community. We are proud to support their efforts and look forward to seeing the impact they will have in their respective regions and beyond.
Let’s take a closer look at these projects and see how they align with our mission.
BTC Map
BTC Map is an initiative to create a global directory of Bitcoin-accepting merchants, fostering circular Bitcoin economies worldwide. BTC Map uses OpenStreetMap as its geographic database, allowing community members to add and verify merchant data. With a core team and a wider network of volunteers, the project has verified over 10,000 locations and added hundreds of local communities to its platform. BTC Map focuses on simplifying merchant discovery to drive Bitcoin adoption globally.
With this grant, BTC Map plans to expand its reach by enhancing existing features and introducing new ones, such as service listings and verifiable merchant reviews. It will also work on community-driven data maintenance, mobile codebase consolidation, and the development of tools for a more robust, decentralized merchant network.

Entropy Bitcoin Education
Entropy Bitcoin Education is dedicated to making Bitcoin education fun, interactive, and globally accessible. By using gamified workshops, open-source tools, and programming bootcamps, the project simplifies complex Bitcoin concepts, enabling engagement across diverse age groups and technical skill levels. It aims to make educational tools widely available to amplify global impact.
This grant will allow Entropy to refine and document its workshops, making them more replicable for other educators. Plans include launching a "train the trainer" initiative, expanding gamified content, and integrating new tools like "Running Bitcoin" and "Who Wants to Be a Satoshi Millionaire?" to reach a broader audience and promote interactive learning.
