This August, Helsinki will play host to the groundbreaking BTCHEL 2025, set to become the inaugural large-scale Bitcoin conference in the Nordic region. Scheduled for August 15-16, this significant event will bring together leading figures from across the Bitcoin ecosystem, including top speakers and subject matter experts, promising pivotal discussions and networking opportunities. The conference will take place at Kulttuuritehdas Korjaamo, a cultural hub in the Finnish capital.

Notably, Malmi’s connection to the early days of Bitcoin, including his collaboration with Satoshi Nakamoto, adds a rich historical backdrop to the event.
Understanding Bitcoin’s Value
As Bitcoin currently ranks as the seventh-largest asset globally by market capitalization, the conference aims to shed light on its often misunderstood value propositions. Remu Karhulahti, the organizer and CEO of BTCHEL, emphasized the significance of this event as a pathway for retail investors to navigate the complexities of Bitcoin in a credible setting, especially given the often misleading information available online.
Focus on Bitcoin
Focusing solely on Bitcoin—rather than other cryptocurrencies—BTCHEL ensures a transparent and neutral platform for discussion and understanding. Participants can look forward to sessions that unpack Bitcoin’s implications for investment strategies and its societal impacts.
Finland: The Ideal Backdrop
Finland is poised as an ideal backdrop for BTCHEL, boasting robust technological capabilities, a solid mining infrastructure, and a vibrant culture that nurtures startups. The nation is recognized for having one of the highest densities of Bitcoin nodes in the world, complemented by a stable power grid, essential for mining operations.
Expo Area and Community Engagement
In addition to the speaker sessions, BTCHEL will also feature a comprehensive expo area where companies and service providers will showcase innovative solutions for Bitcoin adoption and investment.
