Bitcoin 2024 conference
Bitcoin 2024 aims to build on the success of the previous three conferences held in Miami.
Notable past events include Bitcoin 2021, where El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele declared Bitcoin legal tender, and Bitcoin 2023, where U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a powerful speech supporting the Bitcoin industry.
The conference’s relocation from Miami to Nashville underscores its growing prominence. With both Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scheduled to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is poised to be a pivotal event, potentially shaping the future of Bitcoin policy in the U.S.

Trump’s participation
Trump’s participation is particularly noteworthy given his recent engagements with the Bitcoin community.
Last month, Trump met with major U.S. Bitcoin miners, including representatives from CleanSpark and Riot Platforms, pledging support for Bitcoin mining on both global and national stages.
In May, Trump assured the nation’s 50 million Bitcoin holders that he would protect their right to self-custody and ensure the future of Bitcoin is made in the USA if elected president.
