Is there some group which collects funds for Bitcoin promotion? If some group like this can create advertisements for Bitcoin, more people can become aware. Such mediums should be targeted which have reach on audience that is still not familiar with crypto.
We had something like that in the past, it was called the Bitcoin Foundation:

https://www.bitcoinfoundation.org/

I'm actually surprised the website (and the foundation?) is still alive.
I remember there being some controversies around it, including unusually high salary of the foundation's secretary and some other ones.

As much as there was some point of having such organisation at the very begining of Bitcoin, when there was a lot of uncertainty etc, I don't think we need anything of that sort anymore as we already reached mainstream. It would also create a false idea that there is some form of Bitcoin's central entity that could be confusing to people who are new to Bitcoin.

What we would actually need is a bunch of professional lobbyist in the US (we already had those too) to make sure no regulations harmful to crypto are passed.
