What is BTCHEL?

BTCHEL (Bitcoin Helsinki) is an ambitious new Bitcoin conference that brings international-level speakers and thought leaders to Finland. The event will gather around 1,200 attendees over two days to network, learn, and engage in discussions about Bitcoin’s future — both as an investment and a societal phenomenon.

The lineup includes major names such as cybersecurity expert Mikko Hyppönen, MP and economic commentator Martin Paasi, and author and venture capitalist Jeff Booth. Legendary Finnish Bitcoin developer Martti Malmi will also join to share his story — he worked directly with Satoshi Nakamoto and was involved in the first-ever Bitcoin-to-fiat transaction.

Why should investors attend?

“Bitcoin is currently the seventh-largest asset in the world by market cap, yet its value proposition is still unclear to many.”
– Remu Karhulahti, BTCHEL Organizer and CEO

BTCHEL offers retail investors a unique opportunity to deeply understand both the potential and risks of Bitcoin in a credible and expert-led environment. Information online is often scattered or misleading — BTCHEL brings all the essential insights under one roof.

The program focuses exclusively on Bitcoin – not other crypto assets. This is a deliberate choice to provide a neutral, transparent, and trustworthy environment for discussion. Expert talks will help investors form a clear picture of what Bitcoin is, where it’s headed, and how to invest in it wisely.

Finland provides an excellent environment for Bitcoin’s ecosystem. We have one of the highest Bitcoin node densities in the world, a stable power grid, an active mining infrastructure, and a tech- and startup-friendly culture. BTCHEL also has historical relevance – early Bitcoin developer Martti Malmi is Finnish.

Exhibitors and Event Area

BTCHEL also includes a large expo area, where companies, service providers, and experts showcase their solutions for Bitcoin use, investment, and real-world adoption. The expo will feature both global players and Finnish growth companies. Sijoittaja.fi will also participate as a speaker and with their own booth.
