Brink said the funds will be directly used to support its grantees, which are a number of developers focused on the Bitcoin codebase.
Coinbase is donating $3.6 million to Bitcoin-supporting nonprofit Brink as it winds down GiveCrypto, an organization that gave out crypto to those in poverty.
In December, the exchange said that it was ending the initiative due to its inability to create a lasting impact. At the time, Coinbase said it was splitting the remaining funds between Brink and a charity platform called GiveDirectly, but didn't specify amounts. Founded in 2020, Brink aims to boost the Bitcoin protocol through research and development, and by supporting the Bitcoin developer community. It offers a fellowship program to onboard new software engineers into Bitcoin development and a grants program for existing Bitcoin developers.
“Brink is excited to receive one of the biggest Bitcoin open source developer donations from one of the biggest companies in the space, Coinbase. With these funds, we will continue our mission to support the Bitcoin developer ecosystem through funding, education, and mentoring," said Brink co-founder Mike Schmidt.
In June 2023, Brink raised $5 million from Jack Dorsey’s Smart Small funding initiative to support independent Bitcoin developers through grants. In January 2024, investment firm VanEck pledged 5% of its spot bitcoin ETF profits to Brink.Disclaimer: The Block is an independent media outlet that delivers news, research, and data.
