**Las Vegas Set to Host Bitcoin 2025’s “The Art of Freedom” Exhibition**
**LAS VEGAS – April 17, 2025** – BTC Inc. is thrilled to announce the eagerly anticipated return and significant expansion of its renowned art gallery at the Bitcoin 2025 conference. Scheduled for May 27–29 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, the gallery is poised to offer an immersive experience. Highlights include a $2 million diamond-embedded steak sculpture named Rare, a comprehensive exhibition of prison memorabilia from Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, over 60 curated artworks, and a 30-foot inflatable digital dome highlighting Ordinals, all showcasing Bitcoin’s transformative impact on artistic sovereignty, collector culture, and the intrinsic value of art.
This year’s event, dubbed “The Art of Freedom,” promises to redefine the traditional art fair. It’s structured as a museum-scale exhibition grounded in Bitcoin’s principles of ownership, autonomy, and permanence. By acting as a cultural ledger, the gallery illustrates a move from the constraints of the conventional art world to models empowering artists to price their pieces in Bitcoin, retain greater ownership, and directly engage with buyers and collectors.
Since its inception in 2019, the Bitcoin Conference Art Gallery has successfully generated over 55 BTC in sales. It has cemented long-term connections among artists, a worldwide network of collectors, technologists, and cultural influencers. Starting with a modest setup, it has evolved into a significant cultural event where artists annually unveil new works and reengage with their followers.
Among this year’s most anticipated showcases is “Rare,” a diamond-encrusted steak sculpture valued at over $2 million, displayed in a secure, concept-driven “vault” setting within the conference’s VIP area. Additionally, a large-scale exhibition and auction of Ross Ulbricht’s prison memorabilia, presented for the first time to the public, will take a prominent place within “The Art of Freedom,” inviting attendees to ponder over themes of incarceration, censorship, autonomy, and the philosophical essence of freedom in our digital era.
The exhibition will also feature the return of a large green skull sculpture, previously a controversial piece criticizing Bitcoin, generating significant discussion across Twitter in 2024. This piece has since been acquired privately and will be formally donated to the Bitcoin Museum in Nashville.
New to the 2025 exhibit is the Ordinals Dome, a curved LED installation that focuses on digitally inscribed works on the Bitcoin blockchain. This feature is part of a collaboration with the Inscribing Vegas satellite event, showcasing rare works from leading artists in an exclusive auction.
BTC Inc. has reinforced its commitment to supporting artists through a dedicated art acquisition fund, ensuring that creators can benefit from institutional backing while maintaining full ownership of their work.
As part of the gallery’s interactive components, attendees will have the opportunity to add to a large-scale mural by Los Angeles artist Brady Smith, promoting themes of openness, participation, and artistic freedom. The exhibition blends local and global artistic perspectives, showcasing the vibrancy of Las Vegas as a burgeoning hub for contemporary and public art.
