Bad reputation, I suspect. "This organization was funded by black-market currency."

Because bitcoins are almost worthless since they are hard to convert into anything useful like web hosting or USD to pay lobbiests and other such folk?

Bitcoin is easy to convert to cash! I don't think anyone will actually donate bitcoin though.
