The kind of security researchers who prefer to be entirely anonymous are not seeking monetary rewards from bug bounties. No company would pay such researchers anonymously (like using Monero). If they accept bitcoin well they aren’t really that into being anonymous.

I have paid anonymous security researchers in past bug bounty programs, and would do it again. Way better than paying anonymous ransoms later.

I’ve done the same, but they eventually need to provide a bank account, which generally is at their name

Cryptocurrency is generally preferred by anons in my experience.
