The Bitcoin Foundation is an American organization that was formerly a nonprofit corporation.[3][1] It was founded in September 2012 in an effort to restore the reputation of Bitcoin after several scandals, and to try to promote its development and uptake.[4] The organization is modeled on the Linux Foundation and was funded mainly through grants made by for-profit companies that depend on the bitcoin technology.[5]
