Gate News reports that on March 13, Bitcoin investor Olivier Janssens sent an email to his mailing list stating that once the final agreement between his libertarian community project Destiny on the Caribbean island of Nevis and the government is approved, he will immediately pay all residents of Nevis (including children) $100 per month. The project previously planned to distribute 5% of its profits to local residents; this payment plan was launched early. This amount is significantly higher than the $11 (30 East Caribbean dollars) per person proposed by Janssens in November 2025.
The proposal was criticized by opposition figures on the island. Former government minister Carlisle Powell said the move was an attempt to pressure authorities to approve the project, while Nevis Reform Party member Kelvin Daly called it “public bribery” on Facebook, accusing private developers of 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 redevelopment of the southern coast of the island, including villas and medical clinics. The plan includes purchasing approximately 2,400 acres of land, about one-tenth of the entire island. Nevis Prime Minister Mark Brantley has submitted the agreement signed with the company for approval by the federal government.
