Thanks for correcting me, Lorenzo, I really appreciate it! I was clearly a little inattentive/hasty when doing my research and writing this post. I have added a note to the original and will downvote myself for spreading false info, and wasting people’s time here.
Re: Googling, this post wasn’t really motivated by finding out how to donate crypto/stocks to AMF. I mainly just wanted to signal to EA orgs that they should be able to receive such donations (or understand why some might not accept it).
The rough sequence of events was:
I started by trying to donate stock/crypto to Horizon and didn’t see an obvious pathway on their site.
I found their (inactive) profile on Every.org and noticed that a number of other EA-aligned orgs weren’t (active) there either.
I searched things like “how to donate cryptocurrency to Effective Altruism charities” and ran into posts/resources that seemed outdated.
Then I did a quick (and clearly insufficient) scan of GWWC and AMF and mistakenly concluded they didn’t support these options.
I then felt that there was some reasonable probability that there might be a blind spot/gap here and posted the question.
Given my experience, I wonder if it would be helpful for someone (CEA?) to maintain a simple resource listing which EA orgs accept stock and crypto? I’m not sure if there is enough confusion or demand to justify it, though.

That seems excessive, it was a reasonable question. I would let other readers decide whether it should be upvoted or downvoted.
But I am surprised you didn’t Google “Against Malaria Foundation Crypto” or something like that, it seems faster than asking here.
