The BTC Prague conference staple returns in 2026 again, because some people don’t just give talks… they start movements.
If you’ve spent any time around Bitcoin conferences in the last few years, you already know the pattern: people show up for the hallway conversations, the late-night debates over drinks at local pub, the memes made real… and the one big keynote that everyone actually schedules their day around.
At BTC Prague, that “drop everything” moment has become Michael Saylor.
For a fourth consecutive year, the longtime Bitcoin evangelist and executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is returning to BTC Prague as a keynote speaker—a streak the event itself is now treating like a proud tradition.
For a fourth consecutive year, Michael Saylor joins BTC Prague as a keynote speaker.
His presentations have become a conference staple by challenging old narratives, orange-pilling countless Bitcoiners worldwide, and envisioning where Bitcoin might go next.

And honestly? It tracks. Because love him or roll-your-eyes-at-him, Saylor doesn’t do “nice talk, polite applause, next speaker.” His keynotes tend to do three things really well: challenge old narratives, orange-pill the curious, and leave the room buzzing about what Bitcoin could look like next.
Prague, Round Four
BTC Prague is leaning hard into its identity as Europe’s biggest, most influential Bitcoin conference, and 2026 is positioned as the 4th edition, running June 11–13, 2026.
If you’re the kind of person who likes planning ahead, the event also lays out ticket options clearly—ranging from an Expo pass to VIP tiers, with listed prices in euros.
And yes, Saylor is already featured in the 2026 speaker lineup.
Why Saylor Became a BTC Prague “Thing”
Saylor’s conference fame is more than just about being a recognizable face, rather, it’s the style of the message. He’s part financial strategist, part preacher, part “guy who shows up with a slide deck and a mission.”
At BTC Prague 2023, his keynote was literally titled “The Future of Bitcoin”—and it helped set the tone for what the conference wanted to be: big-picture, high-conviction, and unapologetically Bitcoin-only.
In 2024, he came back with “21 Rules of Bitcoin”—a now iconic talk built like a field guide for believers and skeptics alike, framing Bitcoin as “perfect money” and pushing a surprisingly human closer: the idea that orange-pilling works better with patience than aggression.
Then 2025 doubled down on the signature Saylor theme: the number 21. His BTC Prague 2025 keynote, “The Power of 21,” played off Bitcoin’s fixed supply and long time horizons—catnip for anyone who likes their optimism delivered with math-flavored momentum.
So when BTC Prague says his talks have become a “conference staple,” they’re not being poetic. They’re describing a real phenomenon: one recurring speaker whose keynote reliably turns into the weekend’s most shared link.
The Strategy Factor
Part of Saylor’s gravitational pull is that his public persona is welded to his company’s identity. In early 2025, MicroStrategy officially rebranded to Strategy, explicitly positioning itself as a Bitcoin-focused treasury company.
That changes the whole feel of the room when he steps on stage, because he isn’t floating above the conversation in abstract theory—he’s standing there as the face of an extremely visible, very public corporate wager on Bitcoin, the kind that turns a person into a legend for some and a walking controversy for others, sometimes simultaneously.
And that tension is exactly why it works so well in a conference setting, because nobody is traveling across countries and rearranging their day to sit through something that sounds like a recycled LinkedIn monologue. People show up for the speakers who sharpen the energy in the room, spark real disagreement without it turning sour, and leave people debating the ideas long after the lights come up.
What to Expect in 2026 (Without Pretending We Can See the Future)
BTC Prague hasn’t posted Saylor’s 2026 keynote title yet (at least not in the public speaker listing), but if the last three years are any hint, expect something that:
- zooms out to a “civilization-level” narrative,
- ties Bitcoin to long-term economic or geopolitical shifts,
- and lands on a punchy, meme-ready takeaway people will repeat for months.
In other words: the kind of talk that sends newcomers down a rabbit hole and sends veterans into spirited debates at the nearest bar.
The Real Sell: Community + Momentum
BTC Prague’s pitch is basically: come here and remember you’re not crazy. And bringing back the same keynote anchor year after year reinforces that identity—continuity, momentum, tradition.
