Today, however, the Archive has announced that it will now accept donations in both Bitcoin Cash and Zcash after users requested the ability to wire funds to wallets outside of Bitcoin’s purview.
In a previous blog post, the Archive revealed that it had – since 2013 – given its employees the option to be paid in Bitcoin since 2013. However, the organization has clarified that it does not cash out donated cryptocurrency, but is instead holding its portfolio to investigate how cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin could be used to benefit other non-profit projects.
