A Landmark Bitcoin Donation to Grove City College
Significant financial gifts are common for colleges and universities, but a recent donation to Grove City College marks a pivotal moment in the use of cryptocurrency in education.
The Generous Donor
The college proudly announced a $4 million Bitcoin donation from Howard Winklevoss, a graduate from the class of 1965 and a Mercer County native who has achieved great success in business.
“Grove City College played a pivotal role in shaping my career and success and has always been a champion of free enterprise and independence,” Winklevoss stated. “This gift is a way to give back to an institution that has given me so much. I hope it will inspire future generations of students to pursue excellence and make a positive impact in the world.”
A Tribute to Excellence
