Crypto donations topped $100 million in 2025, the largest annual total recorded by the platform, lifting the year’s crypto giving to new heights and contributing to a broader transition toward digital asset philanthropy. The growth reflects a landscape where donors increasingly deploy wealth across cryptocurrency, traditional stocks, and donor-advised funds, with implications for nonprofit fundraising strategies and technology-enabled giving. Bitcoin remained the dominant donated asset, while stablecoins contributed a meaningful share of volume, underscoring evolving asset mix in digital giving and the maturation of crypto philanthropy as a major-gift channel.

Among nonprofits accepting crypto through The Giving Block, one in five raised more than $100,000 in crypto in 2025. The platform categorized 21% of crypto revenue as transformative gifts exceeding $100,000, while 39% fell between $5,000 and $100,000. Crypto giving tracks both market conditions and traditional fundraising cycles, with a third of gifts concentrated in the fourth quarter and December posting the highest monthly volume. Bitcoin accounted for nearly half of all cryptocurrency volume in 2025, while stablecoins totaled more than $32 million, including Ripple USD and USD Coin, representing 17% and 11% of donation volume respectively, and 88% of crypto donation volume originated in the United States with the United Kingdom accounting for 10%, while within the U.S., New York (37%) and California (26%) accounted for nearly two-thirds of domestic donation volume.

Crypto is not the only asset gaining traction. Online stock donation volume increased 127% in 2025, while the average gift climbed to $51,250—up 29% from 2024 and sharply higher than the $2,803 average in 2022. Two-thirds of stock donation volume occurred in December, reinforcing its alignment with tax planning and appreciated asset strategies. Digital donor-advised fund donation volume more than doubled in 2025 compared with 2024, while the number of grants increased more than twofold and the average grant reached $1,704; unlike stock donations, digital donor-advised fund giving was less concentrated at year-end, though January and December showed elevated activity.
