Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, has donated $21 million to OpenSats, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing Bitcoin and Nostr technologies.

From the total donation, $15 million will go to the General Fund to back broad initiatives within the Bitcoin community, $5 million is earmarked for The Nostr Fund to advance this social media protocol, and the remaining $1 million will cover operational expenses.
