How the process works
- PatternBase calculates net platform revenue monthly.
- 25% is accrued into the Earth Care Fund ledger after reconciliation.
- Proposals are published with clear outcomes and consent requirements.
- Paying subscribers help shape which proposals are prioritised.
- Disbursements and project updates are published publicly.
Legal note: the Earth Care Fund is an internal allocation policy and is not represented as a tax-deductible charity program unless explicitly stated for a specific project.
Bitcoin reserve & treasury
Permaculture values self-reliance, decentralized systems, and transparent resource flows. Bitcoin shares that ethos. We accept BTC via BTCPay Server (self-hosted, open-source) with a 15% discount on Steward lifetime checkout. No banks, no middlemen, the same peer-to-peer principle that guides how we think about land stewardship.
Self-custody
Bitcoin reserves are held in self-custody using industry-standard security practices, not on exchanges.
Quarterly reporting
Bitcoin reserve balance, if any, is reported in both sats and USD-equivalent each quarter.
Not an investment
The Bitcoin reserve is a treasury decision, not an investment product. No guaranteed returns or preservation of value.
