Bitcoin Alpha 2027
Mission 04 · One day · Santa Monica
An invite-only day for serious bitcoiners, by application only. It opens at exactly what it cost us to run this year: $1,450 a seat. Every month after that, it costs $100 more.
01 · The room
Every application is read by Ben and Fred, and about half are turned away. What's left is a carefully chosen group of long-term holders, founders, fund managers, builders and family offices: around 150 people who came to think, not to be sold to.
02 · From the 2026 crew
“Being around a room full of bitcoiners is calming to me. And exciting. Excellent format, excellent guests, awesome open discussions.”
“This was my first Bitcoin conference, and so glad I attended. It was way more impactful than I expected.”
“The ability to connect with people with such high intensity and fun at the same time.”
“The size. I was able to get to know more people in this setting as compared to the big conferences.”
“Met with some great minds and loved all the sessions I attended. Definitely coming back and bringing my wife, who is the brains of our team.”
“Networking and great caliber of people! Educational sessions were fantastic.”
From the 2026 post-event debrief. 17 of 20 respondents said they're coming back; the other 3 said maybe.
03 · Price ladder
No flash sales and no discounts later. The cheapest seat is the one you apply for today.
04 · Moon Treasury
Every ticket payment goes into the Moon Treasury and is held in bitcoin. We only spend it when the venue, food and production bills come due.

05 · Where it goes
Every Bitcoin Alpha so far has been priced below what it cost. At $1,200 a seat in 2026, ticket sales didn't cover the event; we and our partners made up the difference, as we have every year. For 2027 we're pricing it so the tickets pay for the event, and publishing the costs so you can see why.
Per attendee, rounded, from the 2026 books. A few final 2026 bills are still coming in; we'll update these when they close.
06 · Apply
Tell us who you are and what you'd bring to the room. A person reads every application. If you're approved, the price on the day you applied holds for 7 days.
2026 crew: you're already approved. Apply anyway so we have your current details, and say you attended.
07 · FAQ
One day in fall 2027 at Hotel Casa del Mar, Santa Monica. We'll announce the date as soon as the venue confirms.
About half of applicants are accepted. We look for people who will lead or add to the conversations: holders, builders, investors and operators with something to share.
The price on the day you apply. Once you're approved you have 7 days to buy at that price; after that, it's the current price.
Early buyers help us book the venue and plan the day, so they pay the least. The ladder keeps it simple and fair.
Your seat is yours either way. Treasury swings are ours to manage.
