B Hodl Plc (AQSE:HODL) has launched its UK Bitcoin Ecosystem Grant and Fund Initiative, which will allocate up to 1% of capital raised and future fund returns to support Bitcoin-focused projects in the UK.
Applications are now open via the company website and decisions will be announced within six weeks.
Grants will support education, open-source development, policy advocacy, and community-building initiatives. Eligible contributors include software developers, educators, translators, and user-experience designers.
"From day one, we set out to make B HODL more than just a treasury vehicle," said chief executive Freddie New.
"Supporting the UK Bitcoin ecosystem is part of that mission, and this initiative ensures that as we grow, we can help strengthen the community and infrastructure around us. A stronger UK Bitcoin ecosystem should ultimately deliver more value for our own shareholders."
Danny Scott, B HODL's, chief bitcoin officer, added: "Bitcoin's success depends on a healthy ecosystem of builders, educators and policy voices.
"By committing a share of our resources to this effort, we're aligning our growth with the long-term development of Bitcoin in the UK."
Commercial projects must be Bitcoin-only, with other cryptocurrencies excluded from eligibility.
