Defend Bitcoin Development

The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund is a nonprofit grassroots organization dedicated to supporting developers working in the Bitcoin ecosystem. 

We believe Bitcoin is a historic force for good in the world that must be defended from mounting legal actions that threaten its existence. 

When you donate to BLDF you directly support the stewards of Satoshi’s invention by helping developers find and retain counsel, develop litigation strategy, and pay their legal bills. 

We can’t do this without you.

Donate to support the right to build without fear.

When you donate to the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund you’re directly supporting the legal defense of Bitcoin developers around the world. We use your donations to:
