All of this was built on less than most people spend on coffee.

Seven Bitcoin Diploma cohorts. Over a hundred alumni across Africa. A neighbourhood in Ikorodu where sats change hands every day. Two years of unpaid work, and community funding you can audit to the last sat.

Bitcoin Africa Story community

What your contribution actually funds

Four things, and nothing else. No advertising, no reach-buying, no sponsor deciding what we cover or where we work.

01 · Education

Teaching people who go on to build

Seven Bitcoin Diploma cohorts, free to every student, run with My First Bitcoin. Alumni have started careers and launched their own projects across the continent.

Building places where sats actually move

Bitcoin Ikorodu is a working circular economy — merchants onboarded, sats earned and spent locally. We run the meetups, school sessions, and church events that keep it growing.

03 · Reporting

Bringing Bitcoin in Africa to you

We document the builders, communities, and merchants making Bitcoin work here — reported by people running a circular economy, not observing one.

Mapping who is actually building

We verify and document the people, projects, and communities driving Bitcoin adoption across Africa — checked by our reporters, not scraped from a database.

Teaching creates builders. Community gives them somewhere to spend. Reporting puts them in front of the world. Research tells us where to go next. We fund all four from the same pot — and publish every sat of it.

Add to the work

There is no fundraising target here. Bitcoin adoption in Africa is not a project that finishes — this scales with what comes in.
