The Big Idea.
The Next Block.
Building wealth, one child, one block at a time
We are living through one of the largest wealth transfers in history—yet Black American youth are positioned to receive little to none of it. The Next Block exists to change that trajectory by ensuring every Black American child enters adulthood with a generational asset: 0.01 Bitcoin held in trust for their future.
This is about changing the starting line.

WHY THE NEXT BLOCK EXISTS
A Wealth Transfer
We’re Not Invited To
Over the next two decades, tens of trillions of dollars will pass from one generation to the next. This transfer will overwhelmingly benefit families who already hold appreciating assets and established wealth structures.
Black American families, on average, are excluded—not because of poor decisions, but because prior generations were systematically denied access to wealth-building opportunities and encouraged into assets that do not meaningfully compound or transfer across generations.
Without intervention, the gap widens automatically.
The Next Block is that intervention.
WHAT WE MEAN BY
“THE NEXT BLOCK”
Two Meanings. One Mission.
a block represents permanent value—each one building on the last, recorded forever.
the block represents community, hustle, resilience, and survival.
It is the transition from surviving on the block to owning the next one—from short-term hustle to long-term, compounding ownership.
FROM GENERATIONAL GAPS TO GENERATIONAL ASSETS
Not Generational Wealth—
A Generational Asset
A generational asset is durable, scarce, and capable of compounding opportunity over time. It does not guarantee outcomes—but it changes what is possible.
Held in trust until adulthood, this asset provides Black American youth with capital they did not previously inherit—capital that can be used to:
Start or invest in businesses
Pursue education without immediate debt pressure
Pursue education without immediate debt pressure
Build credit, ownership, and independence
Explore dreams without being confined by a lack of funds
This is about options.
The Reality Facing Black American Youth
Poverty Is an Unfortunate Starting Position, Not a Character Flaw
Black American children are disproportionately affected by poverty, limiting access to stability, enrichment, and early financial opportunity. Poverty narrows choices long before adulthood—and those constraints compound over time.
These disparities are not the result of effort or values. They reflect historical exclusion from wealth-building assets and the absence of inherited capital.
The Next Block does not solve poverty overnight. It interrupts its permanence.
By ensuring a financial asset exists at adulthood, the cycle of starting from zero is broken.
The Numbers Tell the Story
WHITE CHILDREN IN POVERTY
ASIAN AMERICAN CHILDREN IN POVERTY
BLACK CHILDREN IN POVERTY
HISPANIC CHILDREN IN POVERTY
EDUCATION WITHOUT
CAPITAL STILL HAS LIMITS
College Attendance
Is Not the Same
as Economic Mobility
While education is often promoted as the primary solution, college attendance and completion rates among Black Americans remain lower than other groups—and even when degrees are earned, wealth outcomes do not follow proportionally.
Education without capital still limits freedom.
A generational asset alongside education provides flexibility:
To choose better-fit programs
To reduce reliance on high-interest debt
To take entrepreneurial or alternative paths
Capital expands the usefulness of education.
BUSINESS OWNERSHIP
REFLECTS ACCESS TO CAPITAL
Entrepreneurship Requires
More Than Ideas
Business ownership rates differ dramatically across racial groups—not because of a lack of ambition, but because entrepreneurship requires upfront capital, risk tolerance, and financial runway.
Business Ownership as a Wealth Indicator:
White Americans
Asian Americans
Black Americans
When communities lack inherited assets:
Fewer businesses are started
Fewer businesses are survive
Fewer businesses are passed down
The Next Block plants the first seed of ownership before adulthood, when it can matter most.
WHY
BITCOIN?
Why This Asset. Why Now.
For communities historically excluded from financial systems, Bitcoin offers something rare: a neutral, durable asset that can be held, transferred, and inherited without permission.
Bitcoin is not a shortcut.
It is infrastructure for the future.
Bitcoin is:
Scarce and not controlled by any government
Borderless and accessible
Resistant to debasement
Designed to compound over time
How The Next Block Works
(High Level)
Bitcoin is acquired and allocated toward a child’s trust
0.01 BTC is secured and held long-term
Assets are preserved until adulthood
At maturity, the child receives capital—not promises
This is a long-term commitment to the next generation—not a short-term campaign.
