Fundraiser: A Bitcoin Landmark for Austria

🟧 Soft cap reached, donations still open #

We’ve reached the fundraising goal of 1.3+ BTC. One of only 21 Satoshi statues worldwide is coming to Vienna’s Viertel Zwei. We still accept donations. They go into a maintenance fund for upkeep, insurance, and minor repairs, and cover any incidental costs (+0.25 BTC). Any surplus supports our educational work.

The official unveiling takes place on the evening of September 8 or 9, 2026. We’ll confirm the exact day shortly.

Thank you to all our donors and sponsors.

We’re building the monument. You’re making it possible. #

For the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Austria (founded 2011), we are creating a permanent symbol for Bitcoin in Vienna. We are bringing one of only 21 artworks worldwide to our country — as a sign for an open, decentralized network.

The Project at a Glance #

A circle closes: Vienna, the home of the Austrian School of Economics (Menger, Mises, Hayek), is the ideal place to make the principles of free money and competition physically visible.

• The landmark: “21 Nodes. A global network.” The statue is part of a worldwide installation of only 21 pieces (alongside locations like Lugano, El Zonte & New York).
• We are all Satoshi: The stainless steel artwork uses a special layering technique and appears either massive or transparent depending on the viewing angle. Stand behind it and you see your own reflection in the figure’s face — we are all part of the network.
• The location: Viertel Zwei, Wien (Q3 2026). Publicly accessible, right on the water, surrounded by innovation.

Become Part of History #

We don’t want this to be co-opted by a single major sponsor. This landmark should be carried by many.

🟧 3x Matching Campaign — Results #

Period: February 1 – March 6, 2026

Two long-time Bitcoiners agreed to triple every community donation during this period.

How it worked: You donate 100,000 sats → The OGs add 200,000 sats on top → The project receives 300,000 sats.

The rules: Applied to donations up to 1 million sats per transaction. The matching pool was capped at 0.21 BTC each.

Result: 0.067 BTC from the community, tripled to 0.202 BTC for the project. Both OGs have already paid in their share.
