FBI Director Kash Patel To Speak at Bitcoin 2026 Conference About “Ending the War on Bitcoin”
A panel titled “Code Is Free Speech: Ending The War On Bitcoin” has been announced for Bitcoin 2026, bringing together three figures from law, government, and the Bitcoin industry.
The panel features FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal.
Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director by the Senate in February 2025 and has disclosed personal holdings in Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin miner Core Scientific. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche directed the Department of Justice to end targeting of crypto mixers in April 2025, signaling a shift in how the DOJ approaches digital asset enforcement. Paul Grewal has served as Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer since 2020, previously serving as a U.S. federal magistrate judge for the Northern District of California and as Deputy General Counsel at Facebook, and has been engaged in discussions with regulators around legal frameworks for the digital asset industry.
Bitcoin 2026 attendees can look forward to a conversation on where federal policy and Bitcoin development intersect covering topics including developer rights, privacy tools, and the evolving enforcement landscape.
