Bitcoin Legal Defense Summit 2026

The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund (BLDF) hosts an annual summit focused on the legal landscape for Bitcoin developers and open-source contributors. The event brings together Bitcoin attorneys, developers, nonprofit leaders, and policy advocates to discuss active litigation, regulatory threats, and legal defense strategies. As legal pressure on Bitcoin developers has increased from both regulators and private litigants, the BLDF summit has become a critical gathering for understanding the legal risks facing the Bitcoin ecosystem and how nonprofit legal defense funds protect open-source development.
