BitcoinBitcoin security firm Casa today announced a consultancy partnership with the Human Rights Foundation to help activists and dissidents around the world protect their Bitcoin holdings, which are used to fight against rights abuses the world over.
Casa’s multi-signature self-custody system helps users secure their own Bitcoin, whether it’s via a paid account or its new free wallet service intended for smaller amounts.
The Human Rights Foundation will use Casa’s solutions to protect incoming donations made in Bitcoin, including those paid into the recently-launched Bitcoin Development Fund, which makes grants to developers creating tools to help human rights-focused activists and journalists.
“Bitcoin has enormous potential to help activists raise funds to fight human rights abuses in difficult political environments, but storing it in a safe yet accessible way has always been a challenge,” said Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer at Human Rights Foundation, in a release.
The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) is launching a fund to support open-source development for Bitcoin’s core protocol. Announced via a HRF blog post, the foundation is spearheading the initiative “to support software developers who are making the Bitcoin network more private, decentralized, and resilient so that it can better serve as a financial tool for human rights activists, civil society organizations, and journalists around the world.” Announcing @HRF's Bitcoin Development Fund: a privacy-...
“With software like Casa, organizations can keep their Bitcoin secure while maintaining full control, without the risk of losing funds due to a mistake. It’s critical that activists control the private keys to their Bitcoin, so they can always get their funds to where it’s needed, when it’s needed.”
Casa will also provide educational resources to activists and non-profit organizations through the partnership, including participating in Human Rights Foundation workshops.
“Sadly, human rights organizations face unique challenges when it comes to managing their funds, including having their bank accounts frozen,” said Casa CEO Nick Neuman. “But this can happen to any charity, as we saw in 2019 when HSBC froze the account of Hong Kong pro-democracy group Spark Alliance due to political pressure.”
“But Bitcoin changes the game,” Neuman explained. “As long as it is protected within a highly secure self-custody solution, Bitcoin enables activists to receive and spend funds in a way that governments and corporations can’t control."

Crypto's best minds are heading east, and it's gaining at a pace that other regions are finding hard to catch up to. Asia was responsible for 32% of global crypto developer activity in 2024, according to a report from venture firm Electric Capital. The firm recently published its comprehensive annual report, analyzing over 900 million code commits across the crypto industry. The transformation represents a nearly threefold increase from Asia's 12% share in 2015, while North America's position de...
Google's announcement of its breakthrough Willow quantum processor has reignited debates about crypto security, with some observers suggesting quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption. The tech giant claims its new quantum computing chip can complete certain calculations in five minutes, which would take traditional supercomputers an impractical amount of time to process. Quantum computing is a new type of computing that uses the strange properties of quantum physics, where small part...
Dimo, a platform for developers to build apps and enable car drivers to monetize their data, is migrating between Ethereum scaling networks, the developers exclusively told Decrypt—from Polygon to Coinbase’s Base. Co-founder Rob Solomon believes the move opens doors for valuable partnerships ahead. The project is a “global API layer for cars” that is aiming to make every car on earth smart and programmable. This could manifest, the company says, in a future full of AI car mechanics and smart par...
