Black Americans hold under 5% of the nation’s wealth — White Americans hold over 85% .

Buy Bitcoin. Build Wealth. Close the Gap.
The Institute for Black Wealth Empowerment (IBWE) is a think tank dedicated to closing America's racial wealth gap through strategic Bitcoin acquisition and collective economic action.
We recognize a stark reality: White Americans hold $134.6 trillion in wealth while Black Americans hold just $5.4 trillion—a 25-to-1 ratio that widens every year. Traditional wealth-building methods can't overcome this mathematical disadvantage.
Project Sixty-Two
Our goal: guide every Black American to own at least 0.062 BTC — a simple, measurable step toward generational wealth and economic liberation.
Through rigorous research, education, and community mobilization, we’re building the framework for the largest coordinated wealth movement in Black American history.
Bitcoin offers what traditional finance never has—a level playing field where ownership isn’t gated by credit scores, discrimination, or institutional barriers.

Some research suggests it could take 800 years to close the gap — if it closes at all. Other studies predict zero wealth for Black Americans by 2050.
Our research shows a different reality: at current trends, the gap doesn’t
end—it only worsens.
The system rewards ownership and punishes labor. Traditional wealth-building can’t overcome this disadvantage.

Bitcoin represents the single greatest opportunity ever for Blacks in America to emancipate themselves from the entrenched white supremacists who have always run the country.

The 20-year Strategy to Close the Gap in One Generation
We envision an America where Black wealth is not a gap to close, but a foundation to build upon—where every Black household owns their stake in the digital economy, ensuring generational prosperity.
A future where:
Economic justice is reality, not rhetoric
Ownership replaces exclusion
Financial sovereignty becomes universal
Generational wealth becomes the norm
The 20-year Strategy to Close the Gap in One Generation
The Institute for Black Wealth Empowerment has a transformative goal:
THE TARGET
Every Black American household or adult individual acquires 0.062447 BTC.
THE OUTCOME
Wealth Parity with White America. When Bitcoin reaches $10 million per coin over the next 20 years—as projected by multiple financial analysts—that 0.062447 BTC becomes worth $624,470 per household.
WHY THIS WORKS
Traditional investments compound too slowly. Equal growth on unequal foundations only widens the gap. Bitcoin offers asymmetric returns—the opportunity to multiply wealth 10×, 50×, or 100× faster than stocks, bonds, or real estate.
Bitcoin is the only asset with the mathematical potential
to compress centuries of inequality into a single generation.
The Urgency: Why Now?
INSTITUTIONS ARE BUYING
BlackRock, Fidelity, and pension funds are accumulating Bitcoin at unprecedented rates
SUPPLY IS SHRINKING
72% of Bitcoin is already held long-term and off the market
GOVERNMENTS ARE BUYING
The U.S. has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve; other nations are following
PRICES ARE RISING
Bitcoin has grown from $10,000 in 2020 to over $100,000 today
EVERY YEAR OF DELAY MEANS:
- Higher prices for the same Bitcoin
- Less supply available to purchase
- Fewer years of compounding growth
- A wider wealth gap to overcome

Take Action Today
The wealth gap won’t close itself. Waiting won’t make Bitcoin cheaper. The movement starts with you—one purchase, one wallet, one decision at a time.
For 400+ years, Black Americans built wealth for others. For the next 20 years, we build it for ourselves.
