A bitcoin investor has pledged to provide $100 per month to all residents of Nevis Island if the Free City project is approved.

Odaily reported that bitcoin investor Olivier Janssens plans to build a libertarian community project called Destiny on the Caribbean island of Nevis. He sent an email to his mailing list stating that once the final agreement with the government is approved, he will immediately pay every resident of Nevis (including children) $100 per month. The project had previously planned to allocate 5% of its profits to local residents, but this payment plan is being launched ahead of schedule. This amount is a significant increase compared to Janssens' November 2025 proposal of 30 East Caribbean dollars (about $11) per person.

The proposal has been criticized by opposition groups on the island. Former government minister Carlisle Powell said this move is intended to pressure the authorities to push the project through, while Nevis Reform Party member Kelvin Daly called it "open bribery" on Facebook, describing it as private developers interfering in the country's domestic political and economic affairs.

The Destiny project is described by the local government as a multi-billion dollar development plan, involving large-scale transformation of the island's southern coast, including villas and medical clinics. The plan aims to purchase about 2,400 acres of land, which is roughly one-tenth of the island's total area. Nevis Premier Mark Brantley has submitted the agreement signed with the company to the federal government for approval.
