Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026

Bitcoin Amsterdam 2026, the fifth edition of Europe's major annual Bitcoin conference, takes place on November 5 and 6, 2026 at the Sugar Factory in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The event centers on BTC and brings together institutions, policymakers and the wider Bitcoin community.

What is happening

Organized by BTC Inc., the conference returns to the Sugar Factory for two days of public programming on November 5 and 6. The organizers describe it as a meeting point where Bitcoin's institutional, regulatory and grassroots worlds appear on the same stage.

The program opens one day earlier, on November 4, with the BFC Symposium, a closed-door Institutional Track aimed at people allocating capital and building corporate Bitcoin treasuries. This session is separate from the two public days.

Confirmed speakers include Jack Mallers (Founder and CEO, Strike), David Bailey (CEO and Chairman, Nakamoto Inc.) and Keith Grose (UK CEO and Regional Managing Director, EU and UK, Coinbase). Banking and finance voices include Maarten van der Noordaa of Rabobank, Milko Hensel of Maerki Baumann, Denis van Beetz of Van Lanschot Kempen, Khing Oei of Treasury and Willem Middelkoop of Commodity Discovery Fund. Builders and community speakers include Bitcoin Core developer Sjors Provoost, Lightning Network researcher René Pickhardt and Bert de Groot of Bitcoin Brabant B.V.

Why it matters

The speaker lineup reflects the three groups the organizers say are needed for Bitcoin adoption: institutions willing to hold it, regulators willing to understand it, and the community that has been building it. BTC Inc. CEO Brandon Green framed Amsterdam as the place where all three meet.

For holders and traders, conferences of this kind are a venue for announcements, partnership news and commentary from banks, funds and exchanges about Bitcoin treasury strategies and regulatory direction. It is worth watching statements from the institutional speakers and the outcomes of the BFC Symposium, though a conference alone does not determine market outcomes.
