Bitcoin 2025 Hackathon: Global Builders in Las Vegas with $30K in Prizes

LAS VEGAS – April 2, 2025 – BTC Inc., the organizers of the world’s largest Bitcoin conference, today announced The Bitcoin Games B25 Hackathon presented by Bitcoin++— a high-impact builder event designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible on Bitcoin.

Submissions open April 7, with the winner being announced during the conference (May 27–29).

The Hackathon will bring together developers, designers, protocol engineers, and startups from around the world to build and ship new open-source tools that move the ecosystem forward.

With a current prize purse of $30,000 and growing, the hackathon offers one of the most visible platforms in the industry for emerging Bitcoin infrastructure.

Finalists will present their work in front of 30k+ attendees including investors, media, and the broader Bitcoin community. Whether one is working on Lightning, custody, privacy, AI integrations, or protocol innovation—this is where ideas gain visibility.

“This isn’t a side event—it’s where the next generation of Bitcoin begins,” said Justin Doochin, Head of Events at BTC Inc. “There are no gatekeepers here. No pitch decks, no panels—just builders, real code, and a shot to show the world what Bitcoin will do next.”

Participation is free and open to all skill levels. Builders can register solo or as a team, and all eligible submissions will receive complimentary festival passes to attend Bitcoin 2025.

“What we’re creating is a launchpad,” Doochin added. “This Hackathon is where ideas find collaborators, prototypes become products, and open-source work gets the visibility it deserves. If you’re building on Bitcoin, you need to be here.”

The Hackathon builds on a growing legacy of open-source experimentation that has seeded real innovation across the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Past participants have gone on to develop impactful projects like ZBD, Trade Guardian, El Tor and TwelveCash—tools focused on improving Bitcoin.

This year’s competition is made possible with the support of key sponsors including exSat, B++, and UTXO, a venture capital fund, who are helping to fuel the next wave of Bitcoin-native development.

Together, they reflect Bitcoin 2025’s broader mission: to accelerate open-source progress, empower grassroots contributors, and give builders the space—and the spotlight—to shape Bitcoin’s next chapter.
