Who paid for this ad?

An aggressive ad runs almost everyday on CNN.com front page. It's about bitcoin.
Now since there is no central authority or organizers for bitcoin as it's claimed, who is behind these ads and do they benefit from investing in expensive ads.

Hi JimmyF
The question still valid. Who has the interest in bitcoin that they would invest in CNN ad to promote it?

Now who paid for this ad? cannot be just someone who wants to sell his stock.
The strange thing is these ads are adapted to where you are right now. means
it's well written and programmed by professional marketing company.
