Bitcoin 2026 Announces AG Blanche and FBI Director Patel for Policy Forum

Nashville, TN, Bitcoin 2026, the annual Bitcoin conference, announced today that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel will join an elite lineup of speakers at this year’s landmark event, taking place April 27–29 at The Venetian, Las Vegas.

AG Blanche and Director Patel will appear as part of Code & Country 2026, the conference’s flagship policy forum taking place on April 27, open to Pro Pass and Whale Pass holders. The forum is designed to facilitate direct engagement between Bitcoin builders and U.S. policymakers  with no intermediaries on the legislative and regulatory issues shaping technology, civil liberties, and digital assets.

Their fireside chat, moderated by Paul Grewal, will be joined by Senator Cynthia Lummis, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig, and Michael Saylor, among 500+ speakers across the full programme.

Director Patel’s fireside chat, titled “Code is Free Speech: Ending the War on Bitcoin,” is expected to be one of the most anticipated sessions of the forum, offering attendees a direct conversation with the nation’s top federal law enforcement official on the intersection of open-source software, civil liberties, and digital assets.

“We are honored to welcome Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel to the Bitcoin 2026 stage,” said Brandon Green, CEO of BTC Inc. Bitcoin 2026 organizer. “Their session promises to deliver extraordinary insight into how federal policy is evolving around Bitcoin development, free speech, and the ability to build great products in America that people need.”

Code & Country was formally launched as a branded track in 2025, building on programming that featured senior U.S. political leaders including Vice President J.D. Vance, White House AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, among others. The 2026 edition expands on that foundation with a focus on energy infrastructure, stablecoin regulation, and civil liberties in the digital age.
