Bitcoin Capital Summit - El Salvador
Bitcoin Capital Summit – El Salvador
Bitcoin’s Institutional Era: From Treasury to Capital Markets
The evening before Bitcoin Histórico in San Salvador
📅 10 November 2026
🕔 17:00–19:30
📍 BINAES – Biblioteca Nacional de El Salvador, San Salvador
In collaboration with Stacy Herbert and the Bitcoin Office
As Bitcoin enters a new phase of global adoption, a fundamental shift is underway.
What began as a peer-to-peer monetary network has evolved into a strategic reserve asset, a corporate treasury instrument, and increasingly, the foundation for a new generation of financial infrastructure and capital markets.
The Bitcoin Capital Summit brings together leaders from across the institutional Bitcoin ecosystem for an exclusive evening of insights and discussion immediately ahead of Bitcoin Histórico in El Salvador.
Designed for institutional investors, corporate treasury executives, banks, family offices, asset managers, policymakers and Bitcoin entrepreneurs, the Summit will explore one central question:
How is Bitcoin becoming institutional-grade money?
The programme follows Bitcoin’s institutional journey — from companies putting Bitcoin on their balance sheets, through the infrastructure required to deploy capital at scale, to new financial applications being built on Bitcoin and the growing role of education, liquidity and professional investment management.
Throughout the evening, industry leaders will explore:
Bitcoin treasury strategies and the evolution of Bitcoin as corporate and institutional capital.
Institutional Bitcoin infrastructure, from settlement and payments to liquidity and capital markets.
USDT on Bitcoin, and what stablecoin settlement over Bitcoin infrastructure could mean for payments, liquidity and global finance.
Institutional education, and how executives, boards and financial professionals build the knowledge and conviction required to allocate.
Treasury, liquidity and capital allocation in practice, with perspectives from professionals actively operating in institutional Bitcoin markets.
The next chapter of Bitcoin, looking beyond today’s adoption toward Bitcoin’s evolving role in the global financial system.
