Freehold is a crypto community-development company founded by Patrick Stanley that rewards members for education, product-building, and community work rather than passive token holding. Freehold's Twitter Score is 14 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #69,717 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Freehold was founded by Patrick Stanley, who launched the company to incentivize active participation among crypto holders. Its model, called Proof of Hodl, gates admission while members follow education and building tracks, completing assignments and earning rewards in BTC and STX, the native token of the Stacks ecosystem. At launch, the rewards budget was under $250,000 for an initial cohort of fewer than 50 participants, who were paid in bitcoin for studying, self-custodying assets, producing content, and supporting community growth.
Freehold was backed by Blockstack, Anthony Pompliano, Amanda Cassatt, Balaji Srinivasan, and Ryan Hoover. Freehold was previously affiliated with CityCoins. The company has not issued a proprietary token; its programs use BTC and STX as ecosystem assets rather than a native Freehold token.
Freehold has published 529 posts and has been mentioned by 20 accounts a total of 36 times.
