Michigan Bitcoin Trade Council presents the Bitcoin & Bourbon Speaker Series – Spring 2026, a weekly gathering in Lansing focused on Bitcoin, community, and practical adoption.
Held every Tuesday from 4:30–6:30 p.m. at 1240 E Saginaw St, the series blends after-work conversation with structured talks from local Bitcoin advocates and industry voices. The format keeps things approachable: grab a drink, take a seat, and join the discussion. The emphasis is on how Bitcoin can strengthen Michigan’s economy—from supporting circular local commerce to exploring treasury strategies grounded in sound money.
Each session features a dedicated speaker followed by open conversation, with select evenings transitioning into the Mid-Michigan Bitcoin Meetup.
