Bibiyan Family Philanthropic Foundation Selects 2018 Winner

    LOS ANGELES, CA, April 18, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Now in it's eighth year, the Bibiyan Family Philanthropic Foundation has accomplished much.

With many awards, accolades, and causes supported over the years, the Bibiyan Family Philanthropic Foundation has selected Fidelity Charitable as the recipient of the coveted award for 2018.

"Cryptocurrency fans have proven quite charitable, at least as far as Fidelity is concerned," stated Mr. Bibiyan

Fidelity Charitable announced last year that the global charity recently reported it has received $69 million in cryptocurrency donations last year, making it the fastest-growing asset type accepted by the brokerage firm.

According to Fidelity Charitable's annual report, the donations, which included donations in ether and BTC, came from 171 different donors.

The donations represent a tenfold increase since the organization started accepting bitcoin in 2015, a number that grew 140% faster than the other options (i.e real estate) that Fidelity Charitable accepts as donations, according to the company's vice president Amy Pirozzolo.
