Should Your Business Take Bitcoin? New Customers, New Revenue Streams

Should Your Business Take Bitcoin?

Should Your Business Take Bitcoin? New Customers, New Revenue Streams is a practical, educational panel discussion for established business owners who know little or nothing about Bitcoin. This is not an investment talk, and it isn't aimed at Bitcoin enthusiasts - it's built around one question: is accepting Bitcoin commercially relevant to your business, and if so, how do you do it?

With costs rising, margins under pressure and customer acquisition getting more expensive, this session asks a direct commercial question: can accepting Bitcoin open a genuinely new revenue stream for an established business?

The panel brings together business owners already accepting Bitcoin, the payments infrastructure providers who make it possible, and specialists who understand the Bitcoin customer market - to examine the opportunities, the risks and what implementation actually looks like.

Why now? Around 4.6 million UK adults - roughly 8% of the population - already own Bitcoin, and the FCA's new cryptoasset regulatory regime is due to take full effect from October 2027. In the US, Square began auto-enabling Bitcoin payments for eligible sellers in March 2026 and passed 1 million US merchants accepting Bitcoin within two months. Businesses that get to grips with this now, ahead of the UK shift, have a genuine window to benefit before it becomes mainstream practice.

This event is free to attend, with breakfast included - but space is limited to 60 seats, so early registration is recommended.

Event Objectives

• Explore the commercial relevance of accepting Bitcoin, in plain English.
• Examine the impact on customer acquisition, revenue, margin and growth.
• Explain clearly, without jargon, how Bitcoin payments actually work.
• Present a balanced view of the volatility, regulation and implementation risks.
• Help you decide whether Bitcoin is right for your business - and what a first step looks like.

Target Audience

Event Format

A moderated panel discussion followed by audience Q&A, breakfast and networking.
