Bitcoin 2026 Announces Afroman as Featured Speaker



Nashville, TN — March 30, 2026 — The Bitcoin Conference today announced that Afroman — rapper, cultural provocateur, and newly vindicated defender of free speech — will take the stage at Bitcoin 2026, taking place April 27–29 at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.

Known worldwide for his 2001 hit “Because I Got High,” Afroman has spent the past three years fighting a case that became about far more than music. In 2022, law enforcement officers raided his home, found nothing, and left. Afroman responded the way artists do: he made music about it, using his own security footage to document and challenge what happened. Seven officers sued him for defamation, seeking nearly $4 million in damages and the removal of his content. Earlier this month, a jury sided with Afroman, ruling in his favor and closing the case. Walking out of the courthouse, Foreman told reporters: “I didn’t win. America won.” It’s a story Bitcoin understands.

Bitcoin has increasingly become a platform for individuals pushing back on overreach, whether in finance, speech, or ownership of creative work. Afroman’s recent legal battle, sparked by this police raid, turned into a viral commentary on authority and put those tensions into sharp relief. Using music, media, and memes to challenge the narrative resonates with a community that values transparency, self-sovereignty, and the right to speak freely.
“Bitcoin has always been about more than money — it’s about defending the right to speak freely, build freely, and live freely. We’re proud to stand with people who fight for that,” said Brandon Green, CEO of BTC Inc.

Afroman's presence at Bitcoin 2026 extends beyond the stage. The American flag suit he wore throughout his legal battle will be on display in the Bitcoin Conference Art Gallery as part of Relics of a Revolution, an exhibition exploring protest art and asymmetric responses to institutional power throughout bitcoin’s short history. The suit is up for auction through Scarce.city here.

Bitcoin 2026 will bring together more than 30,000 attendees from across the globe, with 500+ speakers across multiple stages.

Ethereum Foundation closes third OTC sale, moves 10,000 ETH to BitMine

The Ethereum Foundation has completed a third over-the-counter sale of ETH to BitMine Immersion Technologies, offloading 10,000 ETH at an average of $2,292 per coin — roughly $22.9 million. The move continues a pattern of regular Foundation exits into a single counterparty, with the latest transaction following a similar 10,000 ETH sale completed just a week earlier at $2,387 per ETH. In total, the Foundation has moved about $47 million worth of ETH to BitMine over the past week, according to an official post on X. The Foundation said the proceeds will support its core operations and activities, including protocol research and development, ecosystem development, and community grant funding. The disclosure comes after the Foundation unstaked 17,035 ETH last week, worth about $40 million, a move that appears to undercut a previously stated target of reaching 70,000 ETH staked. The evolution of the Foundation’s treasury activities has kept market observers watching how the ETH reserve is ...
