Ghana’s Bitcoin Aves Completes Renovation of Education Hub in Akatsi: Ready to Launch Structured Bitcoin Diploma Program

In the small town of Akatsi, a grassroots Bitcoin education initiative has reached a significant milestone. The team at Bitcoin Aves, a group of professional teachers from the Ghana Education Service, announced on February 12, 2026, that renovations to their dedicated Study Centre (also referred to as the Education Hub) are now fully complete. Located directly across from a conventional bank, the hub stands as a symbol of community-driven financial education focused exclusively on Bitcoin.

The announcement included a video tour of the renovated space, showcasing improved infrastructure ready for classes, workshops, and onboarding sessions. The project, which emphasizes empowering African youth and building a local Bitcoin circular economy, has progressed through community donations and crowdfunding.

Renovation Completion Announcement

In their February 12, 2026 post, Bitcoin Aves detailed the final upgrades:

“Study Centre Update! We’re excited to announce that the renovation of our study hub is now complete! The final phase included painting the floors and installing ceiling fans to improve ventilation. We can now commence the My First Bitcoin Diploma programme.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to making this possible. Your support has brought this vision to life. Essential equipment are still missing; a Projector , a PC & PA system . Your kind donations and support will help us overcome these final hurdles.” – Bitcoin Aves

The post quotes an earlier update from December 12, 2025, showing prior progress with the acquisition of 30 orange chairs, highlighting steady, step-by-step development funded “bit by bit, sats by sats.

The video shows the interior: freshly painted floors in bright colors, new ceiling fans for better ventilation, installed lighting and wiring, a completed ceiling, and rows of chairs arranged for group learning. The space appears clean, functional, and welcoming, with Bitcoin-themed elements visible.

Ongoing Bitcoin Adoption Efforts in Akatsi

Bitcoin Aves has been actively onboarding local businesses and demonstrating Bitcoin as everyday money through Lightning Network payments via apps like Blink and wallets tagged on btcmap.org. Recent examples from early February 2026 include:

A community member buying beer and wele (local delicacy) at Topic’s Pub using sats (February 11 post).
Purchases of Coca-Cola and VitaMilk at local spots like Peace Pot Supermarket (February 9 and 5 posts).
First-time Lightning payments shared in videos to encourage adoption.

These real-world uses tie directly into the hub’s mission: educating youth, onboarding merchants (over 10 businesses assisted so far, per prior community mentions), and fostering a circular economy where Bitcoin flows locally without intermediaries.

Next Steps and Call for Support

With structural renovations done, the team is set to start the My First Bitcoin Diploma program, a structured, Bitcoin-only curriculum for beginners. However, they still need basic tech: a projector for presentations, a computer for demos, and a PA system for larger sessions.

Donations are directed through Geyser.fund and Bitcoin Conference profiles, allowing supporters to contribute in sats.

This hub adds to Ghana’s growing Bitcoin education scene, complementing other grassroots efforts in the country. As of mid-February 2026, Bitcoin Aves continues to share updates via their X account, inviting the community to follow and support the project.
