The Foundation has a policy of hedging our exposure to ZEC by diversifying into BTC. We may also start diversifying into ETH in the future but the ETH we currently hold was received as payment for Zcon tickets in the past.
Sure! It’s mostly wage expense, to reflect the time spent by ZF team members on community and ecosystem relations, and communications. It also includes costs relating to the grants platform, the forums, the website, and Zcon.
