An exclusive unconference for bitcoiners by bitcoiners.

One day. Santa Monica. Two hundred of the sharpest minds in Bitcoin — building, trading, writing, governing. No keynotes. No sponsors pitching from a stage. Just the conversations you can't have anywhere else.

The Format

Built for conversations,
not consumption.

Bitcoin Alpha is a single-day unconference. Attendees set the agenda. Topics emerge from the room. The best discussions happen between sessions, on the patio, over dinner — and we design every minute around that.

01

One day, four rooms

Concurrent sessions across four rooms named for the great fish. Pick what you want. Walk out when you're done. Vote with your feet.

02

No stage. No pitch deck.

No keynote speakers, no sponsor slots, no venture capital theater. Bitcoiners proposing topics they actually want to talk about.

03

Side events that matter

The night before: a private screening. After hours: cocktails at Shore Hotel. The off-program is where the relationships get built.

04

Curated, not crowded

Capped at 200. Invite-only. We know everyone in the room — and so will you, by the end of the day.

Exhibitors

Companies bitcoiners actually want to meet.

Bitcoin Alpha doesn't sell sponsorships. We invite a small number of Bitcoin-native companies to exhibit alongside attendees — the ones building products our crowd uses, debates, or wants to. If that's you, here's the deal.

Exhibitor Pass

Table + Team + Banner

A small, curated cohort. Inquire to learn more.
  • Two full attendee tickets
  • Exhibitor table on the venue floor
  • Custom rollup banner printed in BA brand style
  • Logo placement on bitcoinalpha.org
  • Inclusion in attendee comms before + after event

Who exhibits

Bitcoin-only or Bitcoin-native companies. Wallets, lending desks, custody, miners, builders, infrastructure. Companies our attendees would already know — or want to.

If you're a fit, we'll cover the practical details (logo specs, banner dimensions, table layout) once you confirm.

FAQ

Practical questions.

Why invite only?
Because the value of Bitcoin Alpha is the room, not the program. Capping at 200 and curating who's there is how we keep the average conversation worth your time. If you'd be a great addition, you'll get an invite — through us, a previous attendee, or an exhibitor.
What's included with a ticket?
Full-day access to all sessions, breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, and the side events surrounding the day. Some passes also include the night-before screening and the after-party at Shore Hotel — your invite will spell out exactly what's covered.
Where exactly in Santa Monica?
Venue details are shared with confirmed attendees once you're in. We've held it on the beach in Santa Monica every year and 2026 will be no different.
Are sessions recorded?
No. The unconference format works because what's said in the room stays in the room. Attendees often share their own notes and follow-ups afterward — that's it.
Refund policy?
All sales final, but tickets are transferable to another approved attendee with our sign-off. Email us if your plans change and we'll figure it out.
Hotels and travel?
Once you have your ticket, you'll get access to the attendee page where we share recommendations and local discounts where applicable.
