The upcoming Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 conference, taking place on November 13–14, 2025, at the Sugarfactory (Kristalpromenade 7, 1165 PD Halfweg, near Amsterdam), has expanded its speaker roster in a major way by adding two prominent voices in the Bitcoin ecosystem: Jack Mallers and Saifedean Ammous.
Who are the new additions?
- Jack Mallers: Founder and CEO of Strike and Co-Founder/CEO of Twenty One Capital, Mallers has been a key player in bringing Lightning Network-based Bitcoin payments into mainstream use, including work in El Salvador.
- Saifedean Ammous: Economist and bestselling author of The Bitcoin Standard, Ammous brings thought leadership on Bitcoin’s economic role, marking his first appearance at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
What’s on the agenda?
This year’s conference is shaping up to be one of Europe’s most influential Bitcoin-only events:
- Expect over 5,000 attendees from across Europe and beyond.
- More than 60 hours of programming across three parallel stages:
- Treasury Stage – institutional adoption, corporate treasury, macro trends.
- Orange Stage – protocol development and infrastructure.
- Proof-of-Work Stage – community, narrative, inspiration.
- Side-events and networking throughout Amsterdam, making the city a hub of Bitcoin culture for the week.
Why this matters
The inclusion of both Mallers and Ammous signals the dual focus of Bitcoin Amsterdam: infrastructure innovation (Mallers) and economics & narrative (Ammous). For attendees, this means exposure not just to the tech behind Bitcoin, but also to the deeper macro-economic implications and adoption pathways.
For the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, having high-profile speakers like these helps strengthen Europe’s role in the global Bitcoin movement, positioning Amsterdam as a key hub.
