| disbursement = $55 million[1][2] | type = charitable fund | founder = Anonymous / "Pine" | established = December 2017 | budget = 5,057 bitcoins | website = https://pineapplefund.org }} The Pineapple Fund was a philanthropic project by an anonymous individual which gave away 5,057 bitcoins to 60 charities. The amount was valued at $86 million in December 2017.[2][3][4][5][6] Some of the themes supported were medical research, environmental conservation, human rights and psychedelic therapy. HistoryThe Pineapple Fund was announced with a post on reddit on December 14, 2017. The individual used the pseudonym "Pine", and explained that "My aims, goals, and motivations in life have nothing to do with ... being the mega rich. So I'm doing something else: donating the majority of my bitcoins to charitable causes".[5][7] The individual behind the fund has remained pseudonymous, but says they have been involved in Bitcoin since the early days.[5] In an interview with Forbes, the individual says they suffer from borderline personality disorder, and made the decision to start the Pineapple Fund after undergoing experimental ketamine IV therapy which had a substantial improvement.[8] An application form was made available on the website, open to all charities around the world. Speaking to the magazine Philanthropy, the founder said that more than 10,000 applications were received.[9] After five months, a total of 5,104 bitcoins were donated and liquidated for a value of $55 million after exchange rate volatility.[10] DonationsThe fund's first donation was $1 million to Watsi, a charity for crowdfunding healthcare.[5] The fund made its three largest donations of $5 million each to GiveDirectly,[11] The Open Medicine Foundation.[12] and to MAPS.[13] The fund has also donated $1 million or more to the following organizations:
