Adam Back Confirmed As A Bitcoin 2026 Speaker<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Adam Back<\/a> has been officially confirmed as a speaker at Bitcoin 2026<\/a>, returning to the conference as one of the few people in the world whose contributions to Bitcoin predate Bitcoin itself. As Co-Founder and CEO of Blockstream<\/a> and CEO of Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR)<\/a>, Back comes to Las Vegas operating at the intersection of Bitcoin infrastructure and capital markets like never before. <\/p>\n

In 1997, Back invented<\/a> Hashcash \u2014 a proof-of-work system originally built to combat email spam that became the direct technical foundation for Bitcoin\u2019s mining process. Satoshi Nakamoto cited Back by name in the Bitcoin white paper, writing<\/a> that the network would need \u201ca proof-of-work system similar to Adam Back\u2019s Hashcash.\u201d Before the genesis block was ever mined, Satoshi emailed Back directly. <\/p>\n

Blockstream, which Back co-founded in 2014, develops Bitcoin infrastructure across three areas: consumer self-custody tools including the open-source Jade hardware wallet, enterprise settlement and asset issuance on the Liquid Network, and institutional products through Blockstream Asset Management \u2014 with with Liquid Network closing<\/a> 2025 with close to $5 billion in TVL. At Bitcoin 2025, Back framed<\/a> the company\u2019s direction: \u201cWe\u2019re laser-focused on Bitcoin. At Blockstream, we are here to provide the infrastructure to enable that.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the capital markets side, Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company has entered<\/a> into a definitive agreement to go public through a merger with Cantor Equity Partners I (CEPO), structured with 30,021 BTC on its balance sheet and up to $1.5 billion in PIPE financing \u2014 the largest ever announced alongside a Bitcoin treasury SPAC merger. As of March 2026, BSTR is awaiting completion of the de-SPAC process, with shareholder approval targeted as early as April, after which the combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker \u201cBSTR.\u201d<\/p>\n

From inventing the proof-of-work system that makes Bitcoin possible, to building the infrastructure layer on top of it, to now bringing over 30,000 BTC to public markets \u2014 Back\u2019s is unlike anyone else on the Bitcoin 2026 stage. His appearance at The Venetian this April will be one of the most technically credible perspectives at the conference on where Bitcoin\u2019s protocol, infrastructure, and capital markets are all heading at once.<\/p>\n
