Meet the 2026 Bitcoin Conference speakers.

Or how Bitcoin slowly became the system it was built to escape.

- Michael Saylor
Turned Bitcoin into a corporate balance sheet machine. He talks sovereignty while building one of the largest centralized Bitcoin exposure vehicles on Earth.

- Jack Dorsey
The most ideologically credible name on the list, but still a billionaire platform founder turning Bitcoin into corporate infrastructure.

- Todd Blanche
A state power figure on a Bitcoin stage. That alone tells you how far the movement has drifted from its original purpose.

- Paul Atkins
Regulation dressed up as legitimacy. The kind of figure who decides which parts of crypto are allowed to survive.

- Mike Selig
Commodities and derivatives bureaucracy entering Bitcoin through the front door. More paper markets, more institutional control, less freedom.

- David Bailey
Bitcoin media power broker. Sells the revolution back to the crowd as conferences, access, influence, and political theatre.

- Eric Trump
A political brand entering Bitcoin under the language of freedom. Another Trump scammer speaking for Bitcoin.
We really cannot fall much lower than this.

- Jack Mallers
One of the few with actual payment infrastructure. Still, Strike is a company, not a revolution. Users get convenience, not pure sovereignty.

- Paolo Ardoino
Runs the most important centralized dollar layer in crypto. USDT is treated like oxygen, but nobody elected Tether to become crypto’s shadow central bank.

- Cynthia Lummis
Bitcoin-friendly politician, but still a politician. Once the state starts hugging Bitcoin, it usually means it has found a way to use it.

- Adam Back
Probably one of the few with real historical credibility. But even original cypherpunk energy gets diluted when it is surrounded by corporations, politicians, ETFs, miners, and billionaires.

- Amy Oldenburg
Morgan Stanley digital assets. That says enough. Wall Street did not come to liberate Bitcoin users. It came to package, sell, custody, and extract fees.

- David Marcus
Former Meta executive building Bitcoin payment rails. The pitch is scale. The risk is another polished corporate layer between users and the protocol.

- Matt Schultz
Industrial mining executive. Bitcoin mining was supposed to decentralize security. Now it increasingly looks like energy deals, public companies, hashrate concentration, and corporate balance sheets.
