What could the Education Freedom Tax Credit mean for families across America? The numbers are pretty remarkable.
According to research by my colleague Dr. @parthurgraff, more than 42 million married couples could qualify for the full $3,400 federal tax credit by contributing to Scholarship Granting Organizations.
But what really caught my attention is the potential impact on students.
If donor participation reaches 10% by 2030, as Treasury projects, the program could generate enough funding to support:
- 2.5 million scholarships of $7,000 each, or
- 7 million scholarships of $3,500 each.
That same level of participation could increase federal support for K–12 education by 33%.
Having worked with families navigating educational options for years, I know how much access to additional resources can matter.
These projections help illustrate just how significant this program could become for families across the country.

Happy DAF day to those who celebrate! 🥳
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is essentially a charitable investment account: contribute today, take an immediate tax deduction, and invest the funds tax-free within the DAF while dripping out grants to charities over time.
The impact of a private foundation without the administrative headache! These become supercharged when you donate bitcoin to the DAF and/or hold bitcoin within a DAF 👀
DAF Day 2026 is underway! It is a nationwide effort to put donor-advised funds to work for charitable causes.
A DAF gift to Bitcoin Scholars Fund today supports our operations work to establish our 2027 K-12 Bitcoin education scholarship fund.
How to participate:
→ Log into your DAF and Identify the organizations you want to support.
→ Give through our website so your gift is included in today’s reported impact.
→ Share the opportunity with others who hold donor-advised funds.
Donor-advised funds are designed to move capital toward causes that matter. Today is a clear opportunity to do so!
Give now: bitcoinscholars.org/donate

Loved the story about how @idahohodl helped a client get rid of the tax burden of appreciated ETH they didn't want anymore by turning it into a bitcoin donor-advised fund that builds water wells in Africa!
Great questions @jordanbush, and really interesting conversation!
Episode 82 the TGFB podcast is live.
@idahohodl tells @jordanbush what traditional finance gets wrong about Bitcoin, what wealth does to your soul, and the tax moves even the most ardent bitcoiners should know. 🔗⤵️

Some personal news for a Friday: I’ve wrapped up my time with Metaplanet.
I'm grateful for the experience diving deep into Japan’s bitcoin ecosystem and getting a front-row seat to the inner workings of a public bitcoin treasury company.
What’s next? Three things:
Verify Wealth: Teaming back up with my good friend and colleague @idahohodl to help scale @vrfywealth as CMO. We’ve built a premier financial planning firm for high-conviction bitcoiners before, and we’re refining the playbook this time around to make it even better.
Bitcoin Scholars Fund: Stepping up as President of @Bitcoinscholars. We’re kickstarting the K–12 bitcoin education flywheel by tapping into an upcoming 2027 Federal tax credit, giving donors a way to cut their tax bill by up to $1,700 and fund real-world financial literacy for kids at zero net cost.
Branta: Advising @unfakekeith and @brantaops. In the age of AI exploits, Keith and team are hardening the entire bitcoin transaction layer, increasing conversions, driving revenue, and reducing fraud while making transacting bitcoin even more secure.
Still wildly bullish on bitcoin. Still don't own enough. Would smash buy. Onwards!

She's the best investment I've ever made... my ride-or-die through every up and down. It's been a wild ride, and there's nobody I'd rather do life with.
Deeply grateful and humbled that she chose me. Celebrating 10 years since the best Saturday I've ever stacked, with my beautiful bride, @Kris2thetea ♥️

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says donating to charity is net negative
"The common view is that philanthropy is this noble cause, and Bill Gates is like 'I'm going to go rehabilitate my image and do philanthropy.'"
"A lot of charities and philanthropies are actually net negative for the world and they get captured. It's remarkably hard to find a foundation that has not gotten captured by ideology.”
“By trying to do something good, like criminal justice reform, it turns out they just increased crime. I have a donor advised fund and I put money toward things helping civilization advance, but I don't think at this moment I would ever create a foundation."
"If you look at the Ford Foundation, I think Henry Ford would be turning over in his grave if he knew what they were up to.”
“I have a DAF, a donor advised fund, and I just try to put money toward things that I think are helping civilization advance. But I don't think at this moment I would ever create a foundation."

I spent the last 4 years learning about what bitcoin holders actually need from a financial planner, and what the traditional financial planning industry keeps getting wrong about them.
Today, I'm launching Verify Wealth (@vrfywealth) built for that client specifically.
Flat fee planning, so compensation does not scale with your bitcoin. Encrypted communications by default. No client information touching Big Tech AI. Planning, tax, inheritance, and custody, all coordinated under one roof.
Strategy. Simplicity. Security.
If you've outgrown your advisor, let's have a conversation this week.
Introducing Verify Wealth: Bitcoin-native financial planning.
We're built on 3 principles:
Strategy - Every plan built around how bitcoin actually behaves, not retrofitted from traditional finance.
Simplicity - We simplify your financial life, from retirement and inheritance to taxes and bitcoin custody. Clear guidance you can act on and high-touch service.
Security - Your keys, your wealth, your privacy, protected by design.
Book time with us today! verifywealth.com
