Las Vegas, NV – The Bitcoin Conference, the world’s largest gathering of Bitcoin enthusiasts, is set to electrify Las Vegas from May 27-29, 2025, at The Venetian Convention Center. Hosted by BTC Inc., this landmark event is expected to draw over 30,000 bitcoiners, 300 exhibitors, and 300 speakers, fostering innovation, networking, and education around Bitcoin’s role in financial freedom and hyperbitcoinization. For the first time, the conference, accommodations, and side events will be fully integrated at The Venetian, creating a seamless experience for attendees to connect with industry pioneers and fellow enthusiasts.

The 2025 conference introduces Code & Country on Industry Day, a new initiative uniting policy experts, technologists, and industry leaders to drive Bitcoin innovation. The event will feature a stellar lineup of speakers, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor, and Senator Cynthia Lummis, alongside other luminaries like Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Alejandra Guajardo (“Miss Bitcoin”), and Alex Lewin. These speakers will address critical topics such as digital asset regulation, Layer 2 advancements, and Bitcoin’s philosophical and political implications.

Featured Speakers and Their Backgrounds:

• JD Vance: The 50th Vice President of the United States, James David Vance, is a Republican politician, author, and Marine Corps veteran. Born in Middletown, Ohio, he served in the Iraq War as a military journalist, earned a law degree from Yale, and gained fame with his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy. A former critic of regulatory overreach, Vance is set to deliver a keynote on May 28 during the Code + Country program, focusing on innovation, financial sovereignty, and Bitcoin’s role in America’s future, marking the first time a sitting U.S. vice president publicly endorses Bitcoin at a major forum.
• Ross Ulbricht: The founder of Silk Road, an early darknet marketplace that facilitated Bitcoin transactions, Ulbricht is a polarizing figure in the Bitcoin community. Currently serving a life sentence, he will participate remotely, sparking discussions on privacy, criminal justice, and Bitcoin’s libertarian roots. His presence underscores the conference’s commitment to exploring Bitcoin’s philosophical origins.
• Michael Saylor: As the executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Saylor is a prominent advocate for Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. His company recently acquired 4,020 BTC worth $427.1 million, reinforcing its bullish stance on Bitcoin. Saylor’s keynote will likely focus on institutional adoption and Bitcoin’s long-term financial impact.

Her work emphasizes Bitcoin mining and self-custody rights, making her a key figure in shaping regulatory frameworks.
