Bitcoin 2025 Returns to Vegas: The Stage for Bitcoin’s Big Questions
From Ross Ulbricht’s first public appearance to deep policy talk and a mining takeover — Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas promises to be more than a conference. It’s a reunion, a signal, and a statement.

Bitcoin Comes Home — This Time in Vegas
From May 27 to 29, over 30,000 Bitcoiners from 120+ countries will descend on the Venetian Las Vegas for Bitcoin 2025 — the world’s largest gathering focused entirely on Bitcoin.
Organized by the original voice of the movement, Bitcoin Magazine, this year’s event blends scale with soul:
- 400+ speakers,
- dozens of curated tracks,
- powerful sense of mission.
For the first time, Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road recently granted clemency by Donald Trump, will make a public appearance. His presence marks more than a headline moment — it’s an emotional return to a community that campaigned for his release for over a decade. As he shared on X:
It’s official. I am excited to announce that I will be making my first public appearance and speech since my release from prison at @TheBitcoinConf in Las Vegas!
Bitcoin 2025 is not about hype or token launches. It’s about building — and remembering why Bitcoin mattered in the first place.
More Than Just a Conference
Bitcoin 2025 is hosted by Bitcoin Magazine, one of the earliest and most enduring institutions in the space. Founded in 2012 by a group of true believers — including a young Vitalik Buterin — the magazine became the first serious publication about Bitcoin and has since evolved into a global cultural hub.
Today, Bitcoin Magazine also powers the Bitcoin Conference, known for milestone moments like President Bukele’s 2021 legal tender announcement. And in 2025, it’s taking over Las Vegas — a city that understands bold bets and long games.
This isn’t just a conference — it’s a mission-driven summit fueled by conviction, innovation, and a belief in a better system.
The program spans three days:
- Industry Day (May 27)
Private roundtables, closed-door sessions, institutional strategy.
- General Admission Day 1 (May 28)
Big keynotes, public programming, community gathering.
- General Admission Day 2 (May 29)
A final push of sessions and celebration before the curtain closes.
The event’s sponsors reflect its focus: CleanSpark, NYDIG, Robinhood Crypto, Bitfarms, MARA, and others backing real infrastructure and adoption.
Voices That Matter
Bitcoin 2025 puts the microphone in the right hands — those who build, legislate, research, and defend the Bitcoin network. Alongside Ulbricht, confirmed speakers include:
- Michael Saylor – Strategy founder and the face of Bitcoin in corporate finance.
- Cynthia Lummis – U.S. Senator and vocal Bitcoin advocate shaping national policy.
- Adam Back – Cypherpunk, creator of Hashcash, and Bitcoin’s OG infrastructure architect.
- Winklevoss Twins – Founders of Gemini and long-time bridges between Wall Street and Bitcoin.
- Saifedean Ammous – Author of The Bitcoin Standard, a modern classic in monetary thought.
- Lyn Alden – Macro strategist with a sharp eye on Bitcoin’s role in global finance.
- Paolo Ardoino – CEO of Tether, anchoring liquidity in the crypto economy.
It’s a cross-section of thinkers, builders, and policymakers — not influencers, not hype men.
