💥 167 African Bitcoin projects and counting! In Q4 2025 African Bitcoiners added 8 new projects to our ecosystem bringing visible Bitcoin activity to 22 African countries. To make this ecosystem easier to explore, track, and support, we’ve built a Live Directory for African Bitcoin projects, a continuously updated resource mapping what’s being built, where it is happening, and who is behind it. If you care about Bitcoin adoption, open-source innovation, or Africa’s role in the global Bitcoin ecosystem, this directory is for you. Africa is building, and we are documenting it. Proudly sponsored by @TrezorAcademy, empowering Bitcoin education and promoting adoption across Africa. 👇 Check out the directory here! directory.bitcoiners.africa/

Thank you so much @Extheo and @mavapay for the incredible proof of work this year. And thanks to @TrezorAcademy for partnering with us to curate the gifts.
