Purpose This paper aims to analyze intention for applying blockchain-based technology in zakat management regarding the readiness of zakat institutions and muzakki in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This research is a mixed method, namely, using qualitative research to examine the readiness of practitioner and academics in welcoming blockchain-based financial technology and using quantitative research to measure people’s knowledge and intentions to adopt zakat using blockchain technology based on UTAUT theory (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology). Findings The findings indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and sentiment positively affect the intention to adopt blockchain technology in zakat payments, while effort expectancy do not. Additionally, interviews reveal that practitioners and academics support blockchain technology but are unprepared for its implementation. Practical implications The implications of this study suggest important directions for policy makers, notably zakat institutions, supporting the application of blockchain technology and the adaptation of user-friendly information system services to meet the requirements of zakat service users. Originality/value This study fills the gap in previous research by offering a more comprehensive analysis of the collaboration between zakat and blockchain technology through three different perspectives, namely, practitioners (BAZNAS), academics and users of zakat services (muzakki).

The purpose of this study is to analyze certain banking factors, namely the managing of the investment portfolio in the banking business of Kosovo. The data used are time series on an annual basis for a total of the last 13 years, and these data were tested using the Generalized Method of Moments. The findings of the study on the return on assets show that investments in the production sector have a negative influence, whereas, investments in the trade sector, and investments in short-term securities have a statistically important positive influence on return on assets. With the same level of importance investment in the production sector negatively influences the return on equity, whereas investment in the trade sector and investment in short securities positively affect the return on equity. The surprising result has turned out to be in the rankings in the service sector since it has a non-significant statistical value. From the aspect of innovation and originality, during the investigation of the empirical literature, we did not notice that these independent indicators were included.
