We had a nice discussion on debian-private (the thread is named
"Volatile assets, Debian money and SPI"), so I didn't feel I needed to
have a long text explaining the rationale.
For those not on that list, the TL;DR would be: a kind donor gave Debian
stock (SPDR S&P 500 trust ETFs) and SPI has been holding on to it since
then.
For multiple reasons, I believe such volatile assets should be sold as
soon as possible instead of holding on to it :)
As for "how to", that's up to TOs and their local law. If they don't
want to bother having a mechanism to sell non-fiat financial assets that
people give them, they can decide not to accept those kind of donations.
Cheers,
