FWIW, I don't think Bitcoin actually requires any funding to operate. Satoshi built it without any sponsorship. Most core devs are and will always be maximalists devoted to the longevity of Bitcoin.
Corporate sponsorship could create corporate expectations...
Not saying it'll turn out that way in practice, as their expectations will likely get frustrated by the decentralised nature of node operators refusing to validate bad ideas.
