Bitcoin Asia 2026 arrives with a speaker roster topping 150 names, reinforcing Hong Kong's standing as a serious digital asset hub. The event runs Aug. 27–28 and brings together builders, investors and policymakers from across Asia and beyond.

Ticket prices rose July 18. General admission climbed from $88 to $98; GA+ passes moved from $187 to $197. The conference is fewer than 50 days out.

Programming runs dedicated tracks on Bitcoin for corporations, open-source development, mining, networking and institutional adoption.

Two recently announced speakers illustrate the conference's global reach. Brian Hoonjong Paik, co-founder and CEO of SmashFi, will discuss intelligent Bitcoin savings accounts and how long-term holders can put their assets to work without abandoning a Bitcoin-first approach. Anndy Lian, blockchain advisor and chief digital advisor to Mongolia's Productivity Organization, has worked with governments and regulators across Asia on blockchain strategy and digital asset adoption; his sessions connect technology, public policy, investment and regulation.

They join a roster that includes Balaji Srinivasan, David Bailey, Simon Gerovich of Metaplanet, Justin Sun, Gracy Chen of Bitget, Mark Yusko, Irene Gao of Bitmain, Stephan Livera and Jeff Walton.

The event is Bitcoin-only by design, keeping altcoins off the agenda to focus on Bitcoin's monetary, institutional and infrastructural roles.

Mining, treasury strategy, regulation, payments and institutional adoption are conversations that increasingly happen across Asia. Hong Kong sits at the center of that activity, making Bitcoin Asia a direct line to the people building the next phase of the network.
