El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office announced Bitcoin Histórico, a two-day conference held on 12–13 November 2025 in the historic center of San Salvador, making it the first government-sponsored Bitcoin conference of its kind in the country. The event was presented as a mix of talks, workshops, and immersive experiences meant to link Bitcoin with financial freedom and El Salvador’s broader economic transformation. The conference mattered because it extended the government’s effort to position El Salvador as a global center for Bitcoin policy and culture. Coverage said the program used major civic venues such as the National Palace, National Theater, BINAES, and Plaza Gerardo Barrios, and that the government planned to feature public sessions, VIP access tiers, and international speakers, with the event framed as part of a wider November Bitcoin agenda in San Salvador that also included the more technical Adopting Bitcoin 2025 conference.
