Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities

  • Bitget launched the Starlink Program on May 13, 2025, to provide high-speed satellite internet to remote Philippine island communities starting in Siargao.
  • The program aims to overcome long-standing internet access challenges that have restricted educational, healthcare, and economic opportunities on remote islands such as Siargao.
  • The first stage of the project equips a nonprofit school serving disadvantaged children and a local public school in Pitogo village with Starlink internet hardware to support interactive education and enhance disaster preparedness.
  • Bitget invested 155,400 Philippine pesos per site covering hardware, subscriptions, and logistics, while committing to $10 million in blockchain education programs for long-term support.
  • Bitget plans to expand the program through partnerships and community engagement, aiming to create a replicable model that advances digital equity and financial inclusion.
