On August 27–28, 2026, Hong Kong turns into Asia’s unofficial Bitcoin capital for two days. The Bitcoin Asia conference, hosted by BTC Inc. (a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc.), brings together more than 100 sessions across five parallel stages — from the Genesis Stage and Nakamoto Stage to the exclusive Deep Stage. Anyone who still wants to join can grab a ticket directly here.

Big Names, Big Stage
The lineup reads like a who’s who of the Bitcoin and crypto world. CZ (Changpeng Zhao) speaks Thursday afternoon on “The Bitcoin Century,” while Justin Sun appears twice: once with a talk on “The Globalization of Bitcoin Capital” on the Nakamoto Stage, and again for an exclusive Q&A on the Whale Pass-only Deep Stage.
Balaji Srinivasan also shows up twice — with a Q&A on network states and a panel exploring how Bitcoin might help shape the next iteration of society. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, joins the Deep Stage session “When Bitcoin Becomes the Reserve Asset,” debating whether Bitcoin is on track to rewrite the global financial order, and also appears on the Genesis Stage to discuss Bitcoin, AI, and tokenization.
Another highlight: Bilal Bin Saqib, Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, speaks both on special economic zones for Bitcoin and in a fireside chat with “What Bitcoin Did” host Danny Knowles.
Institutions, Treasuries, and the Path to the Mainstream
A common thread runs through the entire program: the growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin. The dedicated BFC Symposium (Bitcoin for Corporations) gives the topic its own track, with sessions on capital allocation, treasury strategy, stablecoins, custody infrastructure, and investor relations. Company leaders like Dylan LeClair (Metaplanet), Rapha Zagury (Twenty One Capital), and David Bailey (Nakamoto Inc.) discuss how they’re turning Bitcoin treasury companies into genuine operating businesses.
The ETF boom also gets its own spotlight: Brian Roberts of the Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) explains in “The ETF Effect” how Bitcoin became a global asset class, while a panel on “Next Generation Crypto ETFs” covers the jump from Bitcoin ETFs to real-world assets (RWA).
Hong Kong as a Bitcoin Hub
Fitting the venue, much of the program centers on Hong Kong’s role as Asia’s crypto hub. The talk “History of Hong Kong as a Bitcoin Hub” opens the conference, Dr. Johnny Ng of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council delivers a keynote, and several sessions dig into the regulatory “Hong Kong Sandbox” approach to retail adoption and Web3 wallets. Taiwan’s strategic Bitcoin reserve and India’s potential as an “untapped Bitcoin juggernaut” also get their own slots.
Hands-On Tech: The Open Source Hub
Those who prefer to get their hands dirty will find plenty at the Open Source Hub. Instead of talks, it’s packed with practical workshops: setting up a Lightning wallet and receiving your first sats, a step-by-step cold storage self-custody walkthrough, a Nostr workshop, Payjoin integration for treasury purposes, and sessions on Ark payments and Frostsnap. AI gets its due here too: “Using AI to Automate Everyday Tasks in Bitcoin” and “How to Build Bitcoin Apps From a Single Prompt” show how AI tools can speed up Bitcoin development.
Mining, Energy, and Infrastructure
Beyond finance, the physical side of Bitcoin isn’t neglected either: mining giants like Bitmain deliver keynotes, panels explore the intersection of AI, energy, and mining infrastructure, and Stratum V2 and the future of hashrate markets get thorough coverage.
Bottom Line
With such a packed program — from Nakamoto Stage keynotes by well-known crypto heavyweights to the institutionally focused BFC Symposium and hands-on workshops at the Open Source Hub — Bitcoin Asia 2026 positions itself as one of Asia’s most important Bitcoin events.
