A Night for
Sound Money
Bitcoin Bay Foundation is the first 501c3 nonprofit Bitcoin meetup in the country, blazing a trail for other Bitcoin communities nationwide.
Every year we host the Sound Money Soirée, our annual charity gala that raises funds to support our mission of Bitcoin education and community building throughout Tampa Bay.
From educational workshops and business seminars to food events with local producers, partnerships with the University of Tampa, and even our own Gasparilla float, we're bringing Bitcoin to the heart of Tampa.
Since 2022, Bitcoin Bay Foundation has hosted 250+ meetups across Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota, helped 50+ businesses accept Bitcoin, and backed the first Anti-CBDC bill passed in the United States.
