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.
This session features Amber Harris, who will discuss why Bitcoin matters and how it is already changing lives through humanitarian efforts across the globe. From financial inclusion to empowering communities under oppressive financial systems, Bitcoin is becoming a powerful tool for freedom, resilience, and human dignity.
Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or deeply involved in the ecosystem, this discussion will offer powerful insights into how decentralized money is reshaping global humanitarian efforts and creating new opportunities for people everywhere.
Expect an informal, thought-provoking conversation with fellow Bitcoiners, followed by networking and discussion over a glass of bourbon.
