🎯 A Competitive Advantage

We’re excited to finally share the details.

On Friday, 21st November, we’re hosting something a little different. This isn’t another conference with back-to-back talks and rushed coffee breaks.

We’ve designed this day for people who want to explore Bitcoin properly, whether you’re running a business, building something new, or simply curious.

The sessions are short and focused. Breaks are built in. And every ticket includes dinner, because the best conversations don’t always happen on stage. They happen over food, a drink, and networking.

🗓️ Friday 21st November
⌚️ 12pm - 10.30pm
📍 The West Mill, Derby

Come and see how Bitcoin can give you and your business a competitive edge.

There is a hard cap on the tickets, and we won’t be increasing the supply. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Grab yours here.

✈️ Emirates Embraces Bitcoin

Emirates Airlines, one of the world’s biggest international carriers, will now accept Bitcoin (and crypto) payments for flights.

Partnering with Crypto.com, this marks a big step in bringing Bitcoin into real-world, high-trust industries.

Bitcoin as a global settlement layer is becoming harder to ignore.

📈 Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Soar to $91 Billion

According to Bitwise, corporate Bitcoin holdings surged 60% in Q2, hitting $91 billion across 847,000 BTC.

That’s over 4% of the entire Bitcoin supply now held on corporate balance sheets.

As more companies recognise Bitcoin as a strategic asset, the race for allocation is heating up. Those who move early are securing a competitive advantage.

🚀 Bitcoin Is Breaking Away

This chart says it all: Bitcoin is decoupling from the rest of the crypto market.

While altcoins continue to slump, Bitcoin’s market cap is climbing to new highs, a clear signal that institutions and serious capital are choosing Bitcoin, not crypto.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia Claims $200M in Bitcoin Mining Revenue

Ethiopian Electric Power says it has earned over $200 million in the first half of this year by diverting surplus electricity to Bitcoin mining, power that was otherwise going unused due to transmission limitations.

According to their spokesperson, monthly revenue ranged from $25M to $28M.

If accurate, it’s a striking example of how Bitcoin mining can monetise stranded energy.

🌎 This Is How Bitcoin Could Transform Charity

What does a charitable platform look like on a Bitcoin standard with Bitcoin principles?

Ismael, co-founder of EverGive, talks about the flaws of traditional philanthropy, the impact of high-time preference systems, and how EverGive creates a sustainable future by aligning donations with Bitcoin principles. He shares his journey, the challenges of onboarding charities, and why Bitcoin is the only asset that can make donations last forever.
