Freedom Tech DC kicks off THIS WEEK. A summit on the future of money, speech, and intelligence — and the fight to keep them free. We're gathering the builders and the regulators with one purpose — to encourage Washington to embrace open source technology. Stream both days live on X from @bitcoinpolicy, plus YouTube and Rumble. Tuesday, September 22 at 10:00 AM ET. Wednesday, September 23 at 9:00 AM ET.

From global digital asset markets to its Helios AI campus in Texas, @galaxyhq is building the financial and physical infrastructure of the next digital economy. We're proud to welcome Galaxy as a sponsor of Freedom Tech DC 2026.

This year, BPI is proud to partner with 5 mission-aligned non-profit organizations working towards bringing freedom tech to DC and the world. Thank you to @Abundanceinst, @AtlasNetwork, @TheFIREorg, @Mercatus, and @JoinYoungVoices for helping make this event possible.

Next week, we're putting builders, advocates, and policymakers in the same room in Washington to ensure America leads on Freedom Technology. Thank you to this year's supporter sponsors who chose to stand behind that work. See you there.

Owning your Bitcoin starts with controlling your keys. @Ledger builds the secure tools that put that control in your hands. We're proud to welcome Ledger as a sponsor of Freedom Tech DC 2026.

Yesterday, @RepNickBegich's American Reserve Modernization Act cleared the House Financial Services Committee. Next week at Freedom Tech DC 2026, he'll lay out what's next for ARMA and why America must continue to pursue Bitcoin as a strategic national asset.

The American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) just cleared the House Financial Services Committee. We built support with members of Congress, subject matter experts, Commerce, and Treasury. Significant effort was made by committee staff on this important legislation, and for that collaborative work, we are grateful. Thank you to Chairman @RepFrenchHill, Chairman @RepBryanSteil, and the @FinancialCmte for advancing this bipartisan legislation which protects the American principles of financial sovereignty through self-custody, while establishing a clear Congressional framework for responsibly securing digital asset holdings held across our federal government.

From corporate balance sheets to digital capital, @saylor has helped change how institutions think about Bitcoin. We're proud to announce that Strategy's Executive Chairman will join us as a featured speaker at Freedom Tech DC 2026.

AI's risks get plenty of attention. Its potential to crack fundamental physics problems is largely overlooked. @matthew_pines is tackling these problems at Physical Superintelligence and we're proud to announce that he will join us as a speaker at Freedom Tech DC 2026.
