Tribute to Charlie Kirk
In a heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk, Bitcoin.com has established a dedicated fundraiser aimed at assisting his family after his untimely death. This initiative calls upon the cryptocurrency community globally to offer their support through donations in various digital currencies, with the assurance that all funds will be sent directly to Kirk’s family without any deductions.
Charlie Kirk’s Impact
Known for his strong advocacy for personal freedom and social responsibility, Charlie Kirk was a significant figure who resonated with many in the Bitcoin ecosystem. During a discussion on The Charlie Kirk Show in 2022, he remarked,
“In some ways, Bitcoin has more integrity than the U.S. dollar,”
highlighting his belief in cryptocurrency as a means of empowering individuals. This perspective aligns seamlessly with the principles upheld by Bitcoin.com.
Beyond his public persona, Kirk was also instrumental in securing a presidential pardon for Ross Ulbricht, the creator of Silk Road, who was sentenced to life in prison for nonviolent offenses. When President Trump asked Kirk what was most important to him, he simply stated,
“Free Ross,”
illustrating his commitment to justice. Ulbricht expressed deep appreciation for Kirk’s efforts, which eventually contributed to his liberation earlier this year.

Recognizing the profound impact Kirk had within the crypto community, Bitcoin.com is now accepting donations in a variety of digital currencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), ZANO, and fUSD. The organization has made transparent donation addresses and QR codes available for potential donors and will absorb all transaction fees, ensuring that every cent donated goes directly to Kirk’s family.
