El Salvador Announces State-Backed 'Bitcoin Histórico' Summit for Nov. 12–13

Officials present the citywide event as a showcase for a more institutional Bitcoin strategy.

Overview

  • San Salvador’s Centro Histórico will host the program, with the National Palace as the main stage, panels at the National Library and National Theater, and talks broadcast on giant screens in Plaza Gerardo Barrios.
  • Confirmed speakers include Ricardo Salinas, Jeff Booth, Max Keiser, Stacy Herbert, Jack Mallers, Pierre Rochard, Jimmy Song, Darin Feinstein and Lina Seiche.
  • Tickets are priced at $350 for general access and $2,100 for a VIP/Genesis Crown pass, with early purchases accepted in Bitcoin and fiat options slated to open later in September.
  • Organizers emphasize financial freedom, cultural renewal and monetary sovereignty, alongside panels on regulation, infrastructure, energy use, Lightning scaling and financial inclusion.
  • The announcement lands as El Salvador continues to accumulate roughly 6,200+ BTC despite IMF requests to halt public-sector buys, signaling policy continuity under President Nayib Bukele.
