The Africa Bitcoin Conference 2025 (ABC 2025) is officially set to take place from 3rd to 5th December at the Caudan Arts Centre in Port Louis, positioning itself as the continent’s most significant forum for Bitcoin innovation and adoption.
Organizers say the event will offer African builders, policymakers, investors, and Web3 enthusiasts a strategic platform to collaborate, exchange ideas, and explore how Bitcoin can drive economic sovereignty, infrastructure development, and financial inclusion across Africa.
The conference opens with a clear mandate: to amplify Africa’s voice in the global Bitcoin ecosystem and showcase the continent’s growing leadership in Web3 innovation. Mauritius, selected for its strategic position as a gateway between Africa and global finance, will provide a high-profile backdrop for discussions on Bitcoin adoption, decentralized governance, and regional collaboration.
Over three intensive days, delegates will engage in more than 90 sessions, including hands-on workshops, expert panels, and networking opportunities designed exclusively around Bitcoin. The speaker lineup features global authorities and rising African voices, such as Albert Quehenberger of AQ Forensics and Hermann Buhr Vivier of Bitcoin Ekasi, alongside innovators pioneering African-centric crypto solutions.
Empowering African Builders and Innovators
ABC 2025 is crafted to provide more than networking, it is a platform for action. Tracks include peer-to-peer Bitcoin systems designed for African markets, sustainable mining and energy solutions, regulatory frameworks that foster innovation, and freedom-tech applications leveraging Bitcoin’s transparency and sovereignty.
A key initiative is the ABC-DADA Fellowship, a mentorship and training programme aimed at elevating African women into leadership roles in Bitcoin and Web3, highlighting the conference’s commitment to inclusive and diverse growth.
The event will also focus on critical themes: financial inclusion through Bitcoin rails, decentralised sovereignty of value, equitable access to networks in underbanked regions, and the rise of African-focused freedom-tech solutions. According to one organiser, “ABC 2025 goes beyond the traditional conference format. It is a celebration of Africa’s ingenuity, resilience, and vision for financial sovereignty through Bitcoin.”
Attendees can expect:
- Practical sessions on building Bitcoin infrastructure, mining strategies, and governance models tailored to Africa.
- Panels and discussions: Thought leadership on Bitcoin as infrastructure for economic agency and regulation that supports innovation.
- Networking and live demos: Opportunities for founders, builders, and policymakers to connect and collaborate.
- Special tracks: The ABC-DADA Fellowship spotlighting the empowerment of African women in crypto.
With registration underway, ABC 2025 signals Africa’s commitment to move from the periphery of global crypto discourse to the forefront. The conference will not only highlight African innovation but also create tangible opportunities for builders to design, prototype, and lead the next wave of Bitcoin adoption on the continent.
Africa’s Bitcoin future is being written in Port Louis this December, and ABC 2025 is setting the stage for the continent to take its place as a global driver of crypto innovation.
