Wu Says learned that Strive CEO Matt Cole posted an announcement saying the company will expand its long-term support for the Bitcoin ecosystem. In addition to continuing to fund the Bitcoin Policy Institute, it will also start supporting the open-source development organization Brink, in order to fund developers of Bitcoin Core and other key infrastructure. Strive said that institutions benefiting from Bitcoin development should bear responsibility for maintaining the ecosystem’s long-term health, but the support will not come with any requirements that affect protocol governance or technical roadmaps.

Good news: open-source developers finally have more organizations backing them.

I hope this kind of funding doesn’t come with any conditions, otherwise Bitcoin’s decentralized spirit could be diluted. Institutional involvement is a double-edged sword: we need the money, but we also have to hold the line.

Strive’s statement is actually pretty smart—it did PR while also taking the moral high ground. That said, Bitcoin’s core developers relying on donations to survive long-term really isn’t a sustainable plan. Having a steady influx of funding is definitely a positive for code security. As long as they don’t try to use money to steer the protocol, this open-source sponsorship model is worth other institutions emulating. Looking forward to more ecosystem players stepping up—don’t just enjoy the benefits without taking responsibility.
