When it comes to Bitcoin, Africa isn’t waiting, it’s leading. At the African Bitcoin Conference, builders showed how Bitcoin is solving real problems: high remittance fees, broken currencies, limited banking access, and energy gaps. From education to microgrids to circular economies, Africa is using Bitcoin to build real financial freedom. Read more in our latest blog:
The African Bitcoin Conference showed that you don’t need to wait for permission. Real world adoption, energy innovation and policy coordination are accelerating across the continent. Africa is building the future. It was an honour for @Susie Violet and @fnew to represent Bitcoin Policy UK and be part of these conversations.

The only orange thing the Labour Party couldn’t ignore this week! Caption this. image
Countdown to the Labour Party Annual Conference 2025: just two weeks to go. From 28 September to 1 October, policymakers, industry leaders, and delegates will gather in Liverpool for a pivotal event. For Bitcoin Policy UK, this is an opportunity to engage directly with MPs and provide evidence-based insights into how Bitcoin can strengthen the UK economy. We will highlight the real-world impact of missed opportunities. For example, the UK currently pays wind farms £1 billion a year to switch off turbines when the grid cannot handle excess power, while companies in Texas use surplus renewable energy to mine Bitcoin. The UK could do the same, turning waste into wealth. Our advocacy focuses on three priorities: A clear regulatory framework that supports businesses and encourages innovation Better education for policymakers on Bitcoin and its unique role Progressive policies that leverage renewable resources and unlock new opportunities We invite all attendees to visit Stand B4 in the main exhibition hall to join these important conversations. Mark your calendars and engage in the conversation!
