While many nonprofits accept crypto donations, most immediately convert the assets to fiat. Save the Children’s Bitcoin Fund stands apart by holding donations long-term and piloting blockchain-based delivery tools, signaling a shift in how NGOs could manage digital assets to maximize impact and speed during crises.
The bitcoin-powered fund aims to overcome delays common in traditional foreign aid systems. By holding crypto assets, Save the Children can unlock resources faster during crises and pilot new forms of direct assistance, including stablecoin transfers and digital wallet-based vouchers.
“This innovation integrates the speed, cost-efficiency and financial inclusion of blockchain-based tools to strengthen Save the Children’s emergency response and long-term development programs,” said Janti Soeripto, president and CEO of Save the Children in the U.S.
The fund’s design reflects growing interest in decentralized finance as a way to cut costs and increase transparency in humanitarian aid. “Our bitcoin donors asked for the flexibility to choose when to convert to maximize the impact of their generosity, and this fund delivers exactly that,” Antonia Roupell, Save the Children's head of innovation and partnerships, said.
Save the Children accepts bitcoin donations since 2013 and has raised millions in digital assets through its Hodl Hope campaign.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be
The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
