This week an early bitcoin adopter announced on the forum Reddit that he had so much bitcoin he plans to donate 5,057 BTC (US$86Mn) to charitable causes. So far the anonymous donor created a website called the ‘Pineapple Fund,’ and has already donated $5M in bitcoins to some well known nonprofit organizations.


Cryptocurrencies are worth a lot of money these days, and this holiday season one bitcoin whale is donating quite a bit of BTC to charitable organizations. The anonymous donor says he saw the promise of bitcoin long before it broke the single-digit price range. The donor explains the “shattering returns” of bitcoin over the years has given him more money than he can spend. The early adopter has now started a website for the funds he is giving away called the Pineapple Fund , where registered nonprofit organizations can apply for donations. The owner of the website states;

Wonder what the Charity does.

Could be Satoshi ?

I am not for the "calls for donations" you never know where the money really goes and who manages it behind

Possible, but they signed it proving ownership of the address https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/c44ad5f83ddc84d08967c7652311f0a23aafa8e54d7db0911a2c7b5bc20ff988/
Also according to the article in op they have already donated to the past on multiple occasions so I don't see why they would fake it now. Last point I don't think It's a "whale" could be a group of multiple people.

I really doubt it could be Satoshi because the address must have been recently created because the first time it was used was about five years and damn i wish i was the owner of the address and maybe it could be him who knows multiple addresses are created at a whim these days.
