Bitcoin bypasses corrupt systems and sanctions, letting international donors send aid securely and instantly to Syrian families.

Aid in Syria is often stolen or blocked by militias. Bitcoin changes this, allowing funds to flow directly to those in need.

Bitcoin as a Store of Value in a Fragmented State Traditional ways of storing wealth—stocks, bonds, real estate, gold—are either impossible or very risky in today’s Syria. Property can be seized and legal protections do not exist. Families and clans face the risk of losing everything they’ve worked for in an instant. Bitcoin is the secure alternative. No authority in the country can confiscate it. It can be safeguarded with 24 words on a piece of paper, and thus taken anywhere at a whim. For those living Syria’s fractured reality, Bitcoin can be the digital vault, protecting wealth and what little security remains.

Unlike fiat, Bitcoin isn’t tied to any group, foreign sponsor, or ideology. It enables people to trade freely across Syria’s fractured enclaves.
