At the SugarFactory
Europe’s largest Bitcoin-focused event is set to return this November, with the 2025 edition of Bitcoin Amsterdam relocating to a larger venue to meet rising interest from institutional investors, policymakers, and crypto developers.
The conference, scheduled for November 13-14, will take place at the SugarFactory, a repurposed industrial site just outside the city. Organisers say the move follows a sold-out 2024 event and reflects what they describe as increased demand for dialogue on digital currencies across Europe.
Hosted by BTC Inc. and local group Amsterdam Decentralized, the event forms part of the broader global Bitcoin Conference Series.
The Amsterdam edition is expected to draw thousands of participants from the European Union (EU), the Middle East, and North Africa, as digital currency regulation and adoption continue to gain traction in both advanced and emerging markets.
Middle East News 247 is a Media Partner of Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 and Bitcoin Asia 2025 (August 28-29).
Regulatory focus
Key themes on the 2025 agenda include digital rights, financial privacy, and the European Union’s evolving stance on cryptocurrency regulation. The conference will also feature sessions on Bitcoin treasuries, a practice where companies hold Bitcoin as a long-term asset on their balance sheets, a trend that has gained momentum since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Speakers are set to include a mix of financial regulators, central bank officials, blockchain developers, and academics. While final attendance numbers have not been confirmed, organisers expect turnout to exceed last year’s crowd of 4,000.
The venue, with over 8,000 square metres of space, is being billed as a practical upgrade to accommodate higher traffic and provide more networking areas. While ticket prices currently start at €121, they are expected to rise as the event date nears.
The event arrives at a time when Bitcoin markets have experienced relative price stability following years of volatility. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin was trading near $58,000 at the end of June, up 17% since the start of 2025.
Regional implications
While the conference is European in focus, analysts point to growing interest from the Gulf region. The UAE has taken a leading role in blockchain adoption, with Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority introducing clear frameworks for exchanges and digital asset service providers. Abu Dhabi Global Market has also licensed several crypto exchanges, reflecting a policy direction that balances innovation and consumer protection.
African interest is also expected to be represented. Countries such as Nigeria and Kenya have some of the world’s highest rates of Bitcoin adoption, often driven by currency instability, remittance demand, and limited access to traditional banking services.
According to Chainalysis’ 2024 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report, Nigeria ranked second globally in peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading volume, while Kenya was sixth. The Amsterdam conference is expected to address these regional case studies, focusing on decentralised finance solutions and infrastructure challenges.
Investor sentiment
David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., said: “The Bitcoin Conference is part of our world series, and Europe can’t afford to sit this one out. As the financial engine of the continent, Amsterdam isn’t just hosting, it’s leading. We’re simply the megaphone for the grassroots builders, policymakers, and evangelists who are reshaping what money means.”
Organisers state the event is not just for industry insiders. With a mix of technical sessions and general access talks, it aims to engage both seasoned professionals and newcomers. Educational workshops and networking spaces will be integrated throughout the venue.
Global Bitcoin adoption has seen renewed interest from institutional players in 2025. According to Glassnode data, nearly 9% of all mined Bitcoin is now held by corporate treasuries and ETFs, a significant increase from just under 5% in mid-2023.
With regulatory clarity still lagging in many jurisdictions, particularly across the Middle East and Africa, the Amsterdam event is being closely watched for signals on how the EU will proceed with its implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, set to be fully enforced in 2026.
The role of central bank digital currencies is also expected to be discussed, especially as the European Central Bank prepares its pilot phase for the digital euro.
As the debate over decentralisation, regulation, and market access intensifies, Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 may offer early insight into the direction of global digital finance.
