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.
