Le Paradigme Bitcoin returns to Neuchâtel for its fifth edition on 26–27 June 2026

Le Paradigme Bitcoin, the canton of Neuchâtel’s annual Bitcoin conference, is returning for its fifth edition on 26 and 27 June 2026 at Coworking Blockchain Neuchâtel in the heart of the city. Organized by Coworking Neuchâtel Sàrl, the event has grown steadily since its launch in 2022, establishing itself as the leading gathering dedicated to Bitcoin in Western Switzerland. The 2025 edition drew 300 participants from Switzerland, France, and Belgium, a 20% increase on the previous year, and generated significant regional and national media coverage including ArcInfo, Le Temps, RTN, and Canal Alpha.

The 2026 program will span two full days of specialized talks by recognized Bitcoin experts, practical workshops for all levels, a dedicated Privacy Reunion stream exploring digital sovereignty and anonymity tools, and networking sessions designed to connect the Swiss and broader francophone Bitcoin community. The organizing team is targeting 400 participants for this year’s edition.

Thematically, the event explores Bitcoin through nine lenses: economics, information, time, energy, governance, security, accounting, property, and game theory, an approach that reflects the depth of the conversation now taking place within the Bitcoin ecosystem beyond purely financial considerations. The time dimension carries particular resonance in Neuchâtel, whose watchmaking heritage offers a compelling parallel to Bitcoin’s block-by-block construction of its own endogenous temporal rhythm.

The event returns to a canton with deep roots in blockchain and digital finance. Neuchâtel has built one of Switzerland’s most active blockchain ecosystems, with over 55 companies active in the sector, and has consistently supported the development of bitcoin-related businesses and communities within its economic fabric.
