๐ฅCelebrating Nigerian Abubakar Nur Khalil as our #1 Most Impactful African Bitcoiner of 2025!๐ณ๐ฌ
Our #1 crowns the visionary
@Abubakar Nur Khalil, Nigerian trailblazer illuminating Bitcoin's open-source frontier for the Global South. As CEO of @btrustteam and @rcrsvcapital, he's a force decentralizing development, arming African devs with elite training, grants, and unbreakable conviction to code the future, while spreading adoption through multilingual resources, youth mentorship, and cross-continent collaborations that onboard thousands to self-sovereign finance.
In 2025, Abubakar's impact was profound: appointed full-time CEO of Btrust after interim leadership to accelerate open-source empowerment, including Bitcoin Core reviews for v30.0 backports and rc3 while refreshing the board for sustainable growth; launching Btrust Builders tracks like "Mastering Bitcoin" and "Rust for Bitcoiners" to skill up developers for protocol advancements and core contributions; distributing Q3 Developer Grants to six innovators including four Africans enhancing Bitcoin Core and Lightning tools with his own long-term grant fueling full-time work on fee estimation, Cluster Mempool, and package relay; securing starter funding for Bitcoin Dev Kit (BDK) to author and review dozens of pull requests boosting wallet interoperability and efficiency, and inspiring young stackers through Digital Assets contributions on Africa's Bitcoin evolution.
We deeply appreciate everything Abubakar and his unstoppable team are doing to Bitcoinize Africa.
Africa celebrates and extends unreserved appreciation. Thank you!
