Overview

Now in its twelfth year, Satoshi Roundtable is the original off-the-record gathering for crypto's inner circle — the event that predates the conference industry's commercialisation and still operates on entirely different principles. Invitation-only, no press, no pitch decks, no keynote audiences. CEOs, protocol developers, academics, and investors convene in an unconference format where attendees set the agenda around Bitcoin scaling, sidechains, privacy, quantum security, and the long-game questions that don't get asked in public. Five days of resort comfort, gourmet meals, and unfiltered conversation.

What to Expect

  • 1

    Unconference-format sessions where attendees post topics and self-organise into working conversations — no fixed agenda, no keynote hierarchy.

  • 2

    Off-the-record by design — the Chatham House rule applies throughout, enabling frank discussion of industry challenges, failures, and future bets.

  • 3

    All-inclusive resort setting with gourmet meals, recreational activities, and informal evening gatherings that are often where the most important conversations happen.

  • 4

    A deliberately small, curated attendee list that has remained remarkably consistent — making first-time attendance a genuine credential in the Bitcoin community.

CFC St. Moritz

Jan 14–16, 2026St. Moritz, Switzerland

CFC St. Moritz is the definitive anti-conference for Web3's most senior dealmakers. Limited to just 250 carefully selected investors, founders, and policymakers, it eschews the expo-floor model entirely in favour of intimate workshop sessions, live tokenisation demonstrations, and unscripted conversations that only happen when everyone in the room is a principal. Set against the Swiss Alpine backdrop of St. Moritz during Davos Week, it is where digital assets and traditional finance actually talk — not just talk about talking.
