Historic Bitcoin event set for November in San Salvador
Bitcoin Histórico will unite global experts in San Salvador to discuss cryptocurrency, financial freedom, and cultural innovation.
El Salvador will host the world’s first state-sponsored Bitcoin conference, Bitcoin Histórico, on 12–13 November 2025 in San Salvador’s historic centre. The two-day event, organised by the National Bitcoin Office, will focus on money, culture, and crypto innovation, with early bird tickets available in Bitcoin or fiat.
Centro Histórico will be transformed into a hub for discussions, workshops, and cultural exchange. Keynote addresses at the National Palace will be broadcast to Plaza Gerardo Barrios, with additional sessions held at the National Library and National Theatre.
Speakers include billionaire Ricardo Salinas, author Jeff Booth, Bitcoin advocates Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert, Lightning Network developer Jack Mallers, and industry figures Pierre Rochard, Jimmy Song, Darin Feinstein, and Lina Seiche.
El Salvador’s government, holding 6,220 BTC, recently amended the constitution to extend presidential terms, allowing President Nayib Bukele another term.
The conference will address regulation, infrastructure, power use, financial inclusion, price volatility, and public understanding, guiding developing nations on using cryptocurrency.
The announcement coincides with a BTC recovery, trading above $109,175 following last week’s dip. Institutional demand remains strong, with Japanese company Metaplanet adding 1,009 BTC, while US spot ETFs recorded $440 million weekly inflows.
Anticipation of a Fed rate cut may further support Bitcoin and other risk assets.
