Bitcoin Foundation

The Bitcoin Foundation, Inc. was an American nonprofit organization founded in September 2012 to promote and develop Bitcoin. It operated as a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt entity, but its tax-exempt status was revoked by the IRS on May 15, 2022, and the organization is generally considered defunct. The domain bitcoinfoundation.org has since been used by an independent editorial project and is no longer affiliated with the historic foundation. In short: the original Bitcoin Foundation aimed to promote Bitcoin, but the organization is no longer active in its former form, and the current bitcoinfoundation.org site operates separately from it.
