In 2018, the Kremlin froze every bank account belonging to Russia's Anti-Corruption Foundation overnight.
The organization survived because it had quietly started accepting Bitcoin years earlier.
The Human Rights Foundation just released "Bitcoin for Nonprofits," a free guide built for activists and civil society organizations operating under authoritarian regimes.
It covers how to receive, hold, and send bitcoin using self-custodial tools so that no government can freeze your funds and no bank can block your transactions.
For nonprofits working under tyranny, the single biggest obstacle is no longer the mission or the danger. It is the way money works.
