BFFS26 Summit in Denver to Tackle Bitcoin Custody, Credit and Banking

Denver will welcome back the Bitcoin for Financial Services Summit (BFFS26) from October 20–22, 2026. CPAs, wealth advisors, attorneys, lenders and finance leaders who are folding Bitcoin into their practices will gather for the event. The conference is now in its second year and has expanded to more than 30 sessions over two full program days, with speakers selected from the companies at the center of Bitcoin custody, credit and advisory work.

Joseph Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Unchained, will headline with an opening keynote on custody, credit and trust at scale. Alan Lane, who previously served as CEO of Silvergate Bank, will share lessons for Bitcoin and banking. Patrick Lowry, CEO of Samara Asset Group, will speak on maintaining Bitcoin as a public-company treasury reserve. Colin Crossman, Wyoming’s Deputy Secretary of State, will discuss the regulatory outlook for banks, exchanges and advisors. The speaker list also includes Kate Goldman of Anchorage Digital, Sam Baker of River, Eric Yakes of Epoch Ventures, Daniel Hillery of UTXO Management, Moish Peltz of Falcon Rappaport & Berkman, and CJ Konstantinos of Peoples Reserve.

The agenda is built around practical use: weaving Bitcoin into wealth planning and family offices, Bitcoin-backed lending and mortgages, treasury accounting and valuation, retirement and income planning, charitable giving strategies, mining as an asset class, and fiduciary duty when clients hold Bitcoin. Advisors and CPAs will have dedicated workshops available for continuing education credit.

“Last year proved that financial professionals want more than a Bitcoin primer. They want to know how to serve clients who already own it,” Jordan Guess, CPA and summit co-host, said in a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine. “This year’s program is built around the questions advisors and accountants are actually getting from clients, answered by the people building the infrastructure.”

Tuesday, October 20, is the opening day, starting with the Better Money Invitational golf tournament at City Park Golf Course, hosted with Bitcoin Sports Network. A welcome party at The Space, sponsored by Falcon Rappaport & Berkman, follows. Evenings include wine and whiskey tastings, and Thursday opens with an optional sunrise hike in the Rocky Mountains.

Jordan Guess and Wyatt O’Rourke of BFFS Media, who produce the Bitcoin for Financial Services podcast, are co-hosting BFFS26. Unchained, Anchorage Digital, UTXO Management, River, SOUND HSA, SustainHash and Stormrake are among the sponsors.
