According to its blog post, Signal Technology Foundation is now accepting cryptocurrency donations through The Giving Block.
The non-profit organization behind the popular messaging app was founded by Moxie Marlinspike and Brian Acton in 2018 and runs on donations.
The Giving Block integration enables Signal to accept bitcoin, ether and 10 other cryptocurrencies.
In January, Signal staff members expressed concerns about crypto payments being integrated into the platform, according to a report by Platformer.
MobileCoin, a crypto project advised by Marlinspike, went live in December and recently raised a Series A funding round.
