Join BPI LIVE at PubKey DC for Agentic Commerce 101: Why AI Chooses Bitcoin, a conversation on the intersection of artificial intelligence, payments, and Bitcoin.
AI agents are beginning to browse, buy, negotiate, and transact on their own. But as commerce becomes increasingly automated, what kind of money will these agents choose?
We’ll explore how autonomous agents are already changing digital commerce, why programmable money matters, and what Bitcoin’s role could be in an economy increasingly shaped by machine-to-machine transactions.
Joining us will be Five Bells, a digital asset company building on the frontier of agentic finance. We’ll discuss what agentic commerce means for businesses, policymakers, and the future of payments, and why open, neutral, internet-native money may become essential infrastructure for AI-driven markets.
Speakers Include:
- Anthony Magliacca, Chief Operating Officer, Five Bells
- Brian Langel, Chief Technology Officer, Five Bells
- Moderated by Conner Brown , Managing Director, Bitcoin Policy Institute
