The non-profit organization ₿trust, funded by Jack Dorsey, has acquired Qala, an organization dedicated to training Bitcoin and Lightning engineers in Africa. As part of the acquisition, Qala will rebrand as the ₿trust Builders Programme and will focus on driving the development and education of Bitcoin open-source engineers across the Global South. Qala has built a large online community of Bitcoin developers in Africa and has helped its alumni secure roles at various Bitcoin firms. The acquisition will help ₿trust expand its programs in Africa and further its mission of funding Bitcoin development worldwide.
