OUR WORK

We're dedicated to making sure the rules around Bitcoin are fair and make sense. Our team conducts research, shares our expertise with policymakers, and works to influence decisions that affect the future of Bitcoin. We don't just talk to policymakers - we also team up with industry experts, other advocacy groups, journalists, and everyday people to make our voice heard. As an independent and nonpartisan organisation, our goal is straightforward: to advocate for fair regulations that recognise Bitcoin's unique value and treat it differently from other digital currencies.
