Passes & Registration

What is Early Check-In and (regular) Check-In?

Early Check-In lets attendees pick up their official conference wristband on-site before the event starts. If an attendee checks in early, they already have their wristband and can head straight into the conference without waiting in the main check-in line on Day 1 (Pro and Whale Pass holders) or Day 2 (GA pass holders).

Regular Check-In also happens on-site and is usually available an hour before the conference begins.

At both, attendees scan their e-pass at the Check-In area and receive an official conference wristband, which is needed for entry and access to all days of the event.

Exact times for both Early Check-In and Check-In will be shared closer to the conference.

Where is my official pass?

Your official pass will be issued as an e-pass (QR code), and emailed to you approximately two weeks before the conference. Please present it on your phone (or bring a printed copy, if preferred) at on-site Registration. After scanning your e-pass, you will receive an official conference wristband, which is required for entry and provides access to all conference activities on both days.

What type of payments are accepted to buy a pass?

You can buy a pass with USD at checkout using a credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover), or pay with On-chain Bitcoin (BTC).

What is a Whale Pass?

The Whale Pass is an all-inclusive VIP experience at Bitcoin 2026. A VIP experience thoughtfully curated by its very own Whale Service team.

Does a Whale Pass include a +1?

What is Pro Day and how can I participate?
