The global Bitcoin community is set to converge on Las Vegas for the Bitcoin 2025, a three-day conference from May 27-29 at The Venetian Convention Center. Organizers anticipate more than 30,000 attendees, 5,000 companies, and over 400 speakers at what has become the largest gathering of its kind for the digital currency.
This year’s conference agenda emphasizes advancements in Bitcoin’s Layer 2 (L2) and BTCfi ecosystems, with industry observers looking for potential announcements regarding BitVM2 bridges and new partnerships that could expand Bitcoin’s utility. Discussions are also slated for developments in Lightning and Taproot Assets, particularly given Tether’s recent engagement with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
Beyond technical discussions, the conference will address governance debates within the Bitcoin community and explore public policy initiatives. The “Code & Country” segment on Industry Day aims to foster collaboration between government officials, technology leaders, and key Bitcoin figures to develop policies that support innovation in the sector.
A roster of notable speakers is confirmed, including Vice President JD Vance, who has taken a clear stand against regulatory overreach and pushed to redefine how the U.S. government interacts with open-source money. “This is more than a headline moment—it’s a signal,” said David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., in a statement announcing Vance’s keynote. “Bitcoin is the most exciting financial innovation in the world. It’s at the forefront of the national conversation.”
Other notable speakers include Ross Ulbricht, founder of the now-defunct Silk Road marketplace who recently received a pardon, Michael Saylor of Strategy, a publicly traded business intelligence firm and holder of ₿576,230., and U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis. Their presentations are expected to cover a range of topics, from economic implications and global finance to the social impact of Bitcoin and its intersection with various industries.
Cultural elements will also be integrated into the event. “The Art of Freedom” gallery plans to feature exhibits exploring Bitcoin’s influence on creative expression, including a diamond-embedded steak sculpture and an Ordinals Dome dedicated to on-chain art. Ulbricht’s personal prison memorabilia will also be on display. The Bitcoin Conference 2025 aims to provide attendees with educational content, networking opportunities, and a sense of community as participants consider the future trajectory of Bitcoin. See every speaker slated to give keynotes over the three-day conference below.
