Coins.ph has introduced a new financial education initiative aimed at Filipino college and vocational students, encouraging long-term Bitcoin holding as a structured financial discipline strategy rather than short-term trading. The program, called Coins College Bitcoin Builder, runs for four years and is designed to reward consistency and patience. According to the BSP-regulated digital asset exchange, it is the first initiative of its kind in the Philippines focused specifically on teaching students the fundamentals of long-term Bitcoin accumulation. Students who deposit ₱100 worth of Bitcoin will receive an instant ₱100 BTC match from Coins.ph. However, the matched Bitcoin is locked for the full four-year period and cannot be traded. Bitcoin is often described as “digital gold” due to its fixed supply cap of 21 million coins. The Coins College Bitcoin Builder operates under Coins.ph’s regulatory framework as a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas-licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider and Electronic Money Issuer. With the arrival of virtual currencies like Bitcoin in the Philippines, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has issued an advisory that warns the public about the risks involved in buying, holding or trading virtual currencies.
