(Image: Provided)The organizers behind the world’s largest Bitcoin gathering have officially unveiled the first wave of speakers for the Bitcoin 2026 Conference, alongside a redesigned programming structure and an expanded cultural experience aimed at reflecting Bitcoin’s growing global influence.
Scheduled for April 27–29, 2026, at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas, Bitcoin 2026 is already shaping up to be one of the most significant industry events of the year. Organizers report that more than 30,000 attendees have already registered, with expectations that total participation could exceed 40,000 people by the time doors open.
The initial lineup of confirmed speakers signals the event’s institutional and regulatory weight. Among the headline names are Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy and one of the most outspoken corporate advocates for Bitcoin; Paul S. Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, marking the first time a sitting SEC chair has been invited to address the conference; and Mike Selig, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, who has played a central role in shaping digital asset regulatory discussions.
Organizers also noted that the broader lineup already includes more than 100 confirmed speakers, with additional names to be announced in the coming months.
Justin Doochin, Head of Events at BTC Inc., said: “Bitcoin 2026 reflects how far this conference — and the Bitcoin ecosystem itself — has evolved. With tens of thousands of attendees already registered, expanded stages, and a redesigned experience, we’re building an event that meets people wherever they are in their Bitcoin journey while continuing to push the conversation forward globally.”

Across these stages, organizers are planning more than 100 hours of curated content, designed to serve everyone from developers and miners to institutional investors, corporate leaders, educators, policymakers, and newcomers to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
To help attendees navigate the expanded programming, the conference has also introduced an interactive feature titled “What Type of Bitcoiner Are You?” Developed in partnership with Bitcoin Magazine, the quiz guides participants toward sessions and experiences that align with their interests and level of expertise.
Beyond its formal agenda, Bitcoin 2026 is placing renewed emphasis on cultural programming and ecosystem-building experiences. Among the announced side events and activations:
Organizers say the expanded cultural footprint underscores how Bitcoin has evolved beyond a purely technical or financial asset into a broader social and cultural movement.
Bitcoin 2026 is part of BTC Inc.’s global conference series, which also includes editions in Hong Kong, Amsterdam, and Abu Dhabi (Bitcoin MENA), reinforcing the brand’s international reach and positioning Las Vegas as the flagship gathering.
With regulatory leaders, corporate executives, developers, and cultural contributors all set to share the same stage, Bitcoin 2026 appears positioned not only as an industry conference but as a barometer for where the Bitcoin conversation is heading next, institutionally, technically, and socially.
