Bitcoin Water Trust 2025

Scott Harrison describes creating the Bitcoin Water Trust, a cryptocurrency donation initiative that holds donated bitcoin in cold storage until 2025 rather than immediately liquidating like traditional charities. This approach targets crypto donors who want their donations to potentially appreciate in value before being used for clean water projects.

Key Points:

• Core Innovation:

  • Lock donated bitcoin in cold storage until at least 2025
  • Break from traditional charity model of immediate asset liquidation
  • 100% of bitcoin will be unlocked in 2025+ to fund water projects

• Target Audience:

  • Crypto holders who wouldn't donate if assets were immediately sold
  • Donors who want to hold through the next bitcoin halving
  • People who prefer donating bitcoin over cash for long-term impact

• Results:

  • Raised over 100 bitcoin through this initiative
  • Campaign remains open with same long-term holding promise
  • Created new donation channel from previously untapped crypto community

• Strategic Benefits:

  • Takes a position on asset appreciation potential
  • Attracts different donor profile than traditional campaigns
  • Maintains charity:water's 100% model where all donated assets go to water projects
