Bitcoin Scholars Fund Targets $21 Million to Expand K-12 Bitcoin Education in the U.S.

Bitcoin Scholars Fund, or BSF, is a new nonprofit initiative aiming to channel $21 million into K-12 Bitcoin education by 2027. The group says it plans to use provisions tied to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allowing donors to receive a 1:1 federal tax credit on contributions of up to $1,700, or $3,400 for couples. BSF argues that this makes donations effectively “net cost $0” while redirecting part of federal tax liability into classrooms rather than general government revenue. The initiative is targeting 12,350 donors, called the “Genesis 12,350,” to fully fund a Texas-focused education pool. Supported coursework would include Bitcoin, Austrian economics, and “freedom tech,” but only at partner schools that complete Base58’s Bitcoin at Work(shop) certification. BSF also highlights a “Zero-Leakage Treasury” powered by STRC, claiming it can bypass standard 10% fees and push nearly every redirected dollar into educational resources. The fund is scheduled for an official launch on January 3, 2027, timed to coincide with Bitcoin’s 18th anniversary.

Summer of Bitcoin 2026 Opens Applications: Global University Students Can Contribute to Bitcoin Open Source with BTC Stipend

Summer of Bitcoin (SoB), a global remote program training university students to contribute to Bitcoin open-source projects, has opened applications for its 2026 cohort. The program offers mentorship, real-world development experience, and a stipend of approximately $6,600 paid in BTC. Applications close on February 15, 2026. Students can choose between a Developer Track (coding for Bitcoin projects) and a Designer Track (focusing on usability and interface design). Selection emphasizes verifiable proof of work. About 35% of alumni (roughly 69 graduates) now work in the Bitcoin industry or as funded open-source contributors, many returning as mentors. The program also supports education networks like Vinteum in Brazil and Bitshala in India.

Bitcoin Scholars Fund Targets $21 Million for K-12 Education via Tax Credit Mechanism

The Bitcoin Scholars Fund (BSF), a new nonprofit initiative, announced plans to redirect $21 million from federal tax liabilities into K-12 Bitcoin education by 2027. Leveraging the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, donors can receive a 1:1 federal tax credit of up to $1,700 (or $3,400 for couples) for contributions to Bitcoin-focused curricula, effectively making the donation cost-free. The fund aims to recruit 12,350 "Genesis" donors to fully finance a pool dedicated to Texas schools. Partner schools must complete Base58's "Bitcoin at Work(shop)" certification, which provides hands-on protocol-level instruction in Bitcoin, Austrian economics, and "freedom tech." BSF uses a STRC-powered "Zero-Leakage Treasury" to minimize overhead, bypassing typical 10% fees to achieve near 100% efficiency for every redirected dollar. The organization calls for supporters to begin contributing before the official launch on January 3, 2027—symbolically aligning with Bitcoin's 18th anniversary—with the motto: "Fund education, not wars."
