Today, we are thrilled to announce Gemini’s sponsorship of Bitcoin Core Developer Amiti Uttarwar. Our first direct sponsorship, via the , will support Amiti on her mission to improve the resilience, security, and usability of the Bitcoin Network.

An alum of Chaincode Labs, Amiti brings a wealth of experience, having previously worked as a full-stack developer in Silicon Valley. She is the first woman known to have contributed to Bitcoin Core and was named to the 2021 Forbes 30 under 30 list for finance as well as to Coindesk’s 2020 Most Influential list.

With a passion for Bitcoin’s potential to redefine how we conceptualize wealth, Amiti’s specific focus will continue to be on improving the privacy, testing, and robustness of Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer layer. Our sponsorship of Amiti will start in June.

The Gemini Opportunity Fund is a donor-advised fund that supports Bitcoin Core development through grants, fellowships, and donations. Launched in December 2020, the Gemini Opportunity Fund has pledged nearly $1.5 million to date toward Bitcoin Core development, and will continue to support the Bitcoin Network and developer community as Bitcoin further gains widespread appeal.

We are honored to work side-by-side with Amiti and collaborate with her on our mission to empower the individual through crypto, as we continue to build the financial system of the future.

Onward and Upward!

Managing Director
