Two cheers for Bitcoin educators!

@stanthereeves, professor emeritus at Auburn University, has brought Bitcoin into the classroom through his interdisciplinary honors seminar, “Exploring Bitcoin.” The course engaged undergraduates from across the university, concentrating on juniors but open to all levels, and devoted a full semester to understanding Bitcoin’s design, mechanics, and societal impact. Dr. Reeves has also taught a dedicated Bitcoin course in electrical and computer engineering, emphasizing accessibility for students with no prerequisites. The course begins by examining money’s role and the flaws of the current monetary system, then moves to how Bitcoin offers solutions and operates in practice. Topics range from mining, layer-2 solutions, and energy considerations to social implications, individual sovereignty, and barriers to adoption. Students engage in hands-on projects and reading, gaining a deep, operational understanding. Dr. Reeves designed the course to show how Bitcoin can fit as an interdisciplinary subject at honors programs nationwide. His teaching demonstrates that Bitcoin is not just technology, but a lens to explore economics, society, and innovation. Dr. Reeves has agreed to speak at the BEI Annual Conference in Washington, DC, on July 31st. Register for the conference here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

ANNOUNCEMENT: @bitstorian and I are thrilled to announce the winners of the Student Bitcoin Research Prizes for the 2025-2026 academic year. We got a number of good submissions, and these are the best of the best!

Today, you’re sending your hard-earned capital to the government. You don’t get a receipt. You don’t get a progress report. You don’t get a choice. You’re just funding a system that no longer represents you and an education model that doesn't prepare the next generation for the world we’re building. It’s time to opt out. Today we are launching the Bitcoin Scholars Fund, a new non-profit scholarship granting organization. Our mission? To redirect $21 Million from the federal government in 2027 directly into K-12 Bitcoin education. How it works: Starting in 2027, your first $1,700 ($3,400 per couple) donated to BSF is a 1:1 Federal Tax Credit thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Net cost to you: $0. We aren't just building a non-profit; we’re architecting an innovative "Zero-Leakage" treasury powered by $STRC to ensure nearly 100% of your principal hits the classroom, not our overhead. Stop funding the legacy machine. Start funding financial education for kids. The scholarship fund goes live on January 3rd, 2027, but the "Proof of Work" starts today. Follow along as we help fix the schools by fixing the flow of capital. Fund Education. Not Wars. 👉 bitcoinscholars.org

Most blockchain is noise, but Bitcoin isn't printed out of thin air for profit like other tokens. True Bitcoin education? It's a rare course, taught by a handful of 'Bitcoin maniac' professors. They get it. @coryswan

My young Aggie bitcoiners @bitcoinpark_ this week for Bitcoin Takeover 2026! Phenomenal event, flawless execution @bitkite

Universities have evolved as isolated fiefdoms of knowledge. Faculty specialize in a field, students concentrate in a major. This leads universities to overlook Bitcoin, which mixes ideas from multiple domains together. But Bitcoin can fix universities, too. The opportunity today is to bring Bitcoin into all the disciplines it touches. Imagine a week of Bitcoin in classes like corporate finance, energy/power systems, macroeconomics, game theory, human rights, philosophy, government, integrated circuits, cryptography, and computer networking. This will reveal the power of interdisciplinary innovation, expose Bitcoin's academic foundations, and reach students at scale.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the Bitcoin Education Institute (BEI), a new non-profit dedicated to advancing understanding of Bitcoin through education. Bitcoin is the most important and least understood technology of our time. Few know what Bitcoin really is, how it works, or why it has value.  The BEI wants to change this at scale. We plan to build out an army of Bitcoin educators, integrate Bitcoin throughout curriculum, and give Bitcoin a place on the podium of human knowledge, which it rightly deserves. Follow @BTCedu for updates!

#Bitcoin was 40 years of work.

Bitcoin represents a brighter path. If we fix the money, we can fix the world. 🌎

Excited to share our new research: arxiv.org/pdf/2509.25408 We model optimal threshold signature schemes in #Bitcoin, balancing security and usability for users. We show how degraded multisig can improve security and usability. Thanks to @KorokRay for the collaboration!

Thanks to @GideonOPowell for speaking in my class about #bitcoin and energy!

Bought this used bike from a friend with #bitcoin. It was his first transaction. Peer to peer cash, the original use case!

Ross gave a great speech, best in show. But I'm not trying that trick with the towel and the wasps!

The first round of acceptances for the Presidio Bitcoin Hackathon are out, and slots are filling fast! Register today at pbhackathon.com

Bitcoin devs now have a home in San Francisco at @PresidioBitcoin. Thanks @moneyball for inviting me to this inspiring inauguration. Fun panel alongside @jack and @gladstein about the importance of open source for Bitcoin. Important things will happen in this space!

I’ve got an even better idea than a sovereign wealth fund Give the money back to the people you took it from

Bitcoin, not memecoins.
