Crypto asset manager Bitwise has now donated a total of $383,000 to support developers who maintain and secure the Bitcoin network since 2024, with its latest $233,000 contribution announced on Wednesday. 

Its second payout, funded by 10% of gross profits from its Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), adds to the $150,000 that it donated in February 2025 after BITB’s first full year.

“Bitwise is proud to donate $233,000 to support the unsung heroes maintaining and securing the Bitcoin network,” Bitwise said in a post to X on Wednesday. 

Around the time of BITB’s launch in January 2024, Bitwise pledged to direct 10% of gross profits to Bitcoin developers, who play a key role in securing what has become a $1.4 trillion network.

Bitwise said three Bitcoin-friendly non-profit organizations will allocate the funds: Bitcoin Brink, OpenSats and the Human Rights Foundation, through its Bitcoin Development Fund.

The $233,000 donation suggests Bitwise generated $2.33 million in gross profits from BITB in its second year.

Bitwise earns money from BITB by charging a 0.2% fee on BITB assets under management.

BITB is still third in total Bitcoin ETF flows

BITB has seen $2.2 billion worth of inflows since January 2024, trailing only BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), Farside Investors data shows. 

However, IBIT and FBTC are far ahead, having amassed $62.4 billion and $11 billion worth of inflows, respectively.

BITB has managed to weather that storm, however, increasing marginally from $2.17 billion to $2.21 billion across the first nine weeks of the year.

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
