"A lot of folks have begun to realize that crypto giving is hugely beneficial," said Kyle Casserino, vice president and charitable planning consultant for Fidelity Charitable, a public charity that accepts bitcoin , ethereum and litecoin .
Bitcoin donations have surged amid the latest rally as investors learn about the tax benefits, according to Casserino.
For 2024, Fidelity Charitable has accepted $688 million in crypto donations through Nov. 19.
That's up from $49 million in all of 2023 and $38 million in 2022, according to the organization's 2024 giving report.
