Join Bitcoin Club
Malta
Learn. Connect. Build.
Real meetups, merchant adoption, and Bitcoin education — on a mission to make Malta the world's premier Bitcoin island. Curious newcomers and seasoned Bitcoiners both have a seat at the table.
Eleven Years. No Exit.
Seven strangers met in a Gozitan farmhouse in 2015. They're still here.
Bitcoin Club Malta — building since 2015
The Long Game
Malta had its Bitcoin moment before most of the world caught on. The first regulated Bitcoin hedge fund launched here in 2012. By 2018, the island was a pilgrimage site — conferences, capital, and thousands of Bitcoiners arriving at Luqa Airport with orange pill in hand.
The Bitcoin Island vision — 2018
Then the hype died. The tourists left, the speculators moved on, and the builders remained. We were there in 2015 and we are still here. A decade of weekly meetups — breakfasts, dinners, boat days, workshops — through every cycle, every crash, every “Bitcoin is dead” headline. That's not a community. That's a commitment.
Our Voice
We say what we mean. Every time.
Eleven years of showing up is the proof.
Meetups. Merchant adoption. Policy. Repeat.
Bitcoin-only. No exceptions.

What We're Fighting For
BCM doesn't lobby. We educate, advocate, and build — until the policy catches up with the reality.
Keep the Zero Percent
Malta’s 0% capital gains tax on long-term personal Bitcoin holdings is one of the most significant policies in the EU. We intend to keep it that way. Every regulatory cycle is a threat — BCM is at the table making sure the people who hold decide the outcome.
Spend Bitcoin in Malta
We’re building a circular Bitcoin economy on this island, one merchant at a time. From coffee shops in Valletta to dive operators in Gozo, BCM helps Maltese businesses accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments. The goal: you can live your entire life here without touching fiat.
Briefing the People in Charge
Politicians make Bitcoin policy based on what they understand — so we make sure they understand it. BCM takes the conversation straight to the source: street interviews, policy briefs, and direct engagement with the officials setting the rules.
First to Regulate. Still Leading.
Malta passed the Virtual Financial Assets Act in 2018 — the world’s first comprehensive Bitcoin regulatory framework. That wasn’t an accident; it was the result of years of community engagement. We’re still here, still engaged, and still making sure Malta earns its reputation every year.
Your Keys. Your Bitcoin.
Self-custody is not a preference — it is a right. BCM actively opposes any regulation that would force Bitcoiners into custodial solutions, mandatory reporting on private wallets, or surveillance frameworks disguised as consumer protection. Non-negotiable.
Malta Leads. The World Watches.
What Malta does with Bitcoin sets a precedent. A jurisdiction of 500,000 people can move faster and smarter than any G20 nation — and the world is paying attention. BCM is here to make sure Malta uses that advantage to become the global reference point for Bitcoin policy done right.
Malta Is Bitcoin Island. We'll Prove It.
EU jurisdiction. 0% capital gains on bitcoin. Mediterranean sun. We've been here since 2015 — and we know exactly who to call.
