Fortris entrusts its platform to Save the Children: marking a new chapter in Bitcoin-powered humanitarian solutions
At Fortris, we believe financial infrastructure should serve people—not just markets.
Today, we’re taking a deliberate step forward: providing our platform and services to Save the Children to help expand the role and impact of Bitcoin in fundraising and in humanitarian response efforts.
This partnership places one of the world’s most respected global humanitarian organizations, today active in over 100 countries, in direct control of advanced Bitcoin technology—expanding the reach and value of every donation.
By transferring operational stewardship, we are enabling Save the Children to hold and deploy Bitcoin at scale, ensuring that resources can be mobilized swiftly and transparently in times of crisis.
Save the Children introduces a new humanitarian funding approach
The world’s leading child-rights focused organization has now launched Save the Children Bitcoin Fund—a pioneering initiative designed to reshape how financial resources are held, managed and delivered in humanitarian contexts.
This new approach allows Save the Children to:
- Receive and hold Bitcoin donations, preserving and potentially growing their impact over time.
- Deploy Bitcoin directly to families when it matters most, through Save the Children's emergency response and cash assistance work, ensuring funds reach communities quickly and efficiently.
- Enhance financial resilience, supporting both immediate emergency responses and long-term development work, including Bitcoin powered digital financial literacy programs.
A partnership anchored in purpose
Fortris is proud to be a strategic partner of Save the Children, providing the technological foundation that makes this fund possible. This collaboration combines financial innovation with humanitarian purpose.
The Bitcoin Fund has a clear goal: 100 BTC, including a dedicated 10 BTC emergency assistance reserve to support families across the United States impacted by natural disasters. This reserve is designed to deliver immediate financial relief when crisis strikes.
An open call to collaborate
This initiative is not about technology alone—it represents a shift in how global aid can operate. Bitcoin, placed in trusted hands, becomes more than a digital asset: a catalyst for faster, more transparent, and more inclusive humanitarian assistance.
We invite donors, builders, and mission-driven partners to join us and stand with Save the Children. Together, we can redefine the flow of aid—making it more direct, efficient, and far-reaching.
