Nine Years of Bitcoin Club Malta
In 2024, Bitcoin Club Malta celebrated its ninth year — nine years of meetups, learning, building, and keeping the Bitcoin conversation going on a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean.
Founded in 2015, BCM has been meeting continuously — through bull markets, bear markets, and a pandemic.
Monthly meetups, workshops, boat days, and conference side-events over nine years of community building.
From curious newcomers to long-term holders and Bitcoin businesses — a cross-section of Malta's Bitcoin community.
Businesses in Malta that accept Bitcoin — cafés, services, accommodation — many connected through BCM.
What nine years looks like
Nine years in, BCM is not the same organisation it was when it started. The community has grown, the platform has evolved, and the range of people involved — from Maltese professionals to international Bitcoiners who chose Malta as a base — reflects how the island's relationship with Bitcoin has deepened.
What has stayed constant: monthly meetups, a focus on education over speculation, and a community that genuinely wants to help new members understand Bitcoin properly.
Nine years is a long time in Bitcoin. BCM has been here for all of it.
What comes next
Deeper merchant adoption
More Malta businesses accepting Bitcoin, with Lightning as the default payment method.
Education at every level
From introductory sessions for people who have never bought Bitcoin to technical workshops on running nodes and self-custody.
A platform for the community
BCM's new platform brings membership, events, and the Bitcoin ecosystem directory into one place — built by the community, for the community.
