Bitcoin donor-advised fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a “giving account” that can be funded with appreciated bitcoin, grown tax-free, and distributed to charities of your choice, on your timeline.

It allows you to: 
  • Avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation
  • Claim a tax deduction for the fair market value of the donation
  • Maximize the impact of your gift while reducing your tax liability
All of these benefits allow you to give more to the causes you care most about.

“It is great to see a bitcoin-native DAF option available for donors. The privacy benefits, transparency, paperwork simplification, and tax benefits all while hodling BTC in a multisig is pretty slick.”
