The government of El Salvador has officially unveiled the international summit "Historic Bitcoin”, an event that aims to merge digital economy, culture, and monetary sovereignty in the heart of San Salvador. The gathering is scheduled for November 12–13, 2025, at the city’s Historic Center.
An event beyond technology
Organized by the "National Bitcoin Office", the initiative seeks to position El Salvador as a global reference point for financial innovation. Stacy Herbert, head of the office, emphasized that this will not be just another conference but a "cultural and economic festival" bringing together entrepreneurs, analysts, and educators from around the world.
The program will feature family-friendly activities, lectures, educational workshops, cultural performances, and live experiences in iconic locations such as the "National Palace", the "National Theater", and "Gerardo Barrios Square", which will host large LED screens for public broadcasts.
A message to the international community
The summit also signals a "strategic response by the Salvadoran government to recent criticism from the International Monetary Fund (IMF)", which questioned the transparency of the country’s bitcoin purchases.
By promoting this high-profile event, El Salvador reaffirms its commitment to bitcoin adoption as a state policy and projects a narrative of independence and financial sovereignty in the face of international scrutiny.
Featured participants
Notable speakers include Mexican businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego, analyst Max Keiser, Strike CEO Jack Mallers, bitcoin advocate Pierre Rochard, and educator Jimmy Song, among others.
Access and tickets
Attendance will require tickets, with early-bird prices ranging from US$350 to US$2,100, available exclusively in bitcoin until mid-September. After that date, payments in fiat currency will be accepted at higher rates.
