The Wikimedia Foundation announced that it will now accept Bitcoin donations. The foundation will use Bitcoin exchange Coinbase to convert the virtual currency to US dollars.
The foundation had been asked by its member to accept the crypto-currency and after a careful review of how to legally and technically accept Bitcoin, the foundation will now accept your virtual money donations. For its part, Coinbase announced that it will offer zero processing fees for non-profits.
The Wikimedia Foundation is responsible for the enormous online database of mostly true facts, Wikipedia. Founded in 2003 by Jimmy Wales, the non-profit is also responsible for Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons and Wikiversity.
