The event will take place in Nashville, Tennessee, from July 25-27.
This announcement represents a significant milestone for the conference, renowned for historic news and major industry developments.
Previous conferences
Bitcoin 2024 aims to build on the successes of the previous three conferences held in Miami.
Notably, Bitcoin 2021 made headlines when El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele declared Bitcoin legal tender. Bitcoin 2022 and Bitcoin 2023 continued this tradition with significant moments, such as U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s speech in support of the Bitcoin industry at Bitcoin 2023.
Two candidates to speak
This year, the conference’s relocation from Miami to Nashville reflects its growing prominence. With two U.S. Presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump, scheduled to speak, Bitcoin 2024 is poised to be a pivotal event that may shape the future of Bitcoin policy in the U.S.
Trump’s recent support for Bitcoin
The inclusion of Donald Trump as a speaker is particularly notable given his recent commitments to the Bitcoin community.
Last month, Trump met with major U.S. Bitcoin miners, including representatives from CleanSpark and Riot Platforms, pledging his support for Bitcoin mining both globally and in Washington, D.C.
In May, Trump stated he would ensure that the future of Bitcoin will be made in the USA and promised to protect the right to self-custody for the nation’s 50 million Bitcoin holders if elected president.
