Bitcoin 2026 Announces AG Blanche and FBI Director Patel for Policy Forum

Bitcoin 2026, taking place April 27–29 at The Venetian in Las Vegas, will host Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel in the Code & Country policy forum, signaling heightened direct engagement between Bitcoin developers and U.S. policymakers. The session — joined by senators and regulators including Cynthia Lummis, SEC and CFTC chairs, and industry figures like Michael Saylor — will focus on regulatory topics (energy infrastructure, stablecoin rules, civil liberties). While primarily a policy and industry event, the high-profile participation could influence market sentiment by clarifying regulatory intent and reducing policy uncertainty for Bitcoin developers and investors. The conference follows a 2025 series that drew ~67,000 attendees and includes 500+ speakers for 2026.
