The Christian community in the United States accepts cryptocurrency tithing, and the size of educational organizations has nearly doubled since 2022.

Gate News reports that on March 28, a Christian cryptocurrency subculture is emerging in the United States, encompassing phenomena such as churches accepting digital currency for tithing and bloggers promoting Bitcoin as being in accordance with biblical doctrine. The nonprofit organization Thank God for Bitcoin, dedicated to educating churches about digital assets, states that the scale of its annual conference has nearly doubled since 2022. Despite Bitcoin’s price dropping from a high of $126,000 on October 12, 2025, to around $69,000 currently, the community’s activity remains significant. Supporters believe that Bitcoin is a means to escape inflation and Federal Reserve intervention; some developers indicate that the interest in Bitcoin partly stems from believers’ concerns about being de-banked due to religious or political views. Meanwhile, this trend is also accompanied by controversy and risks. A Colorado prosecutor previously accused a pastor of defrauding investors of over $3 million through a cryptocurrency he created. Additionally, traditional finance expert Dave Ramsey has criticized this trend, comparing it to investing in Beanie Babies, a symbol of 1990s speculative bubbles in the U.S.
