Support pln’s Bitcoin fund

We believe in creating a foundation of long-term sustainability so that People Loving Nashville can continue serving our community for decades to come.

​That’s why we’ve created a dedicated Bitcoin Fund: a vehicle for mission-driven Bitcoiners to invest this future vision. 

How the bitcoin fund works

  • Long-Term Commitment: Every Bitcoin donated will be held for at least four years before it can be spent. This gives time for growth, stability, and long-term impact.

  • Separate from Operations: The Bitcoin Fund is kept entirely separate from our day-to-day budget. It’s not about meeting this month’s needs, but about building tomorrow’s foundation.

  • Seeded by the Community: The fund began with a 0.25 BTC seed gift, and we’re inviting the Nashville Bitcoin community and friends around the world to help grow it.

Why bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a unique tool for nonprofits:

  • It represents a strong, global community of givers who want their donations to have lasting impact.

  • By holding Bitcoin with patience and discipline, PLN can strengthen its future while continuing to serve those experiencing homelessness today.
