The University of Austin (UATX) Partners with the Texas Bitcoin Foundation, Bitcoin Policy Institute, Unchained, and Strive to Host the Satoshi Papers Symposium 

Press Release 

The University of Austin (UATX) has partnered with the Texas Bitcoin Foundation (TBF), Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI), Unchained, and Strive Asset Management to host the Satoshi Papers Symposium, an academic conference celebrating the launch of the TBF’s first book, The Satoshi Papers: Reflections on Political Economy after Bitcoin. 

The Satoshi Papers, published by BPI and edited by TBF executive director and BPI fellow Natalie Smolenski, draws inspiration from the eighteenth-century American debate between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists about the role of government in preserving the liberties of individuals and communities. The book features an open exchange of ideas among scholars about the relationship between money and state in a post-Bitcoin world. 

“The Satoshi Papers brings together economists, historians, anthropologists, and other social scientists to think together about how a decentralized digital protocol can inspire the re-formation of existing political and economic institutions,” said Natalie Smolenski, founder and executive director of the Texas Bitcoin Foundation. 

Bitcoin Policy Institute, a DC-based policy think tank, launches its book publishing imprint with The Satoshi Papers. 

“Launching a publishing imprint represents a natural next step for BPI as we continue to advance the intellectual foundations of Bitcoin policy. And The Satoshi Papers is the perfect inaugural publication — it represents exactly the kind of rigorous academic discourse needed to bridge the gap between Bitcoin innovation and policy development,” said Grant McCarty, co-founder of BPI. 

The Satoshi Papers Symposium, which will be hosted on UATX campus on April 16, 2025, features presentations by authors of The Satoshi Papers who are also BPI fellows, including Avik Roy, Josh Hendrickson, Craig Warmke, and Natalie Smolenski. Faculty from the University of Austin will discuss the arguments the authors present in the book. 

“At the University of Austin, we are committed to the fearless pursuit of truth and rigorous debate about the ideas shaping our world,” said Chad Thevenot, SVP of Advancements and Communication at the University of Austin. “The Satoshi Papers Symposium is a perfect example of that commitment, bringing together scholars and students to explore the economic and political implications of Bitcoin. We are honored that UATX will be a convening platform for this critical conversation.” 

The Symposium uniquely encourages student participation. Thanks to a generous donation from Strive Asset Management, a financial services firm cofounded by Vivek Ramaswamy, all students in the UATX inaugural class will receive copies of The Satoshi Papers and invitations to join the discussion during the Symposium. 

Matt Cole, CEO of Strive, said, “Strive believes Bitcoin should be a core allocation in the portfolios of everyday Americans. In light of the inevitable volatility characterizing the early life of a rapidly monetizing new asset, deep education is essential for investors to build and maintain conviction in that allocation. The Satoshi Papers is a vital contribution to Bitcoin education, and we’re honored to partner in hosting the Symposium.” 

The Symposium is generously supported by Unchained, an Austin-native financial services firm for bitcoin. 

Joe Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Unchained and director of the Texas Bitcoin Foundation, said, “Bitcoin redefines the relationship between money and state, and education is key to that shift. The Satoshi Papers challenges us to think critically about financial sovereignty—something we make real at Unchained by ensuring individuals control their own bitcoin. We’re proud to support this symposium and the broader effort to secure financial freedom for generations to come.” 

Unchained will host a public reception, book sale and signing of The Satoshi Papers at the Bitcoin Commons on the evening of April 16th.

As the blockchain market continues its upward trajectory and attracts a surge of new entrants, PBW has curated a program designed to inspire innovation, foster education and connect global leaders, developers and trailblazers.

The flagship conference will run from April 8-10, 2025, at the historic Carrousel du Louvre, featuring live keynotes and panels from over 400 industry pioneers and hosting more than 10,000 attendees and 400 media representatives.

Alongside the main event, a host of additional activities – including a dedicated AI agent-led event, Bitcoin investment event and VIP networking experiences – will make PBW a week-long celebration of blockchain innovation, running from April 5-11.

Sharing his vision, Michael Amar, co-founder of Paris Blockchain Week, said,

“At Paris Blockchain Week, we are committed to creating an experience that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in blockchain and Web 3.0.

“This year, we’ve introduced a host of customized, industry-specific dedicated events that respond to the rapidly evolving trends reshaping our ecosystem.

“These enhancements are designed to unite focused groups of professionals around the most critical and emerging topics such as AI agents, Bitcoin for investors, DePIN and RWAs.

“By carefully curating content and assembling the highest quality of the best speakers, we aim to connect the right people, drive collaboration and deliver an event that responds directly to the industry’s demands.”

The PBW Hackathon sets the tone for the week, where hundreds of teams will compete both in person and online.

A series of workshops will provide participants with the tools they need to develop cutting-edge solutions, culminating in a live showcase of finalists presenting their DApps (decentralized applications) to a panel of expert judges.

On April 7, PBW will debut ‘Bitcoin for investors,’ an exclusive event crafted for Bitcoin enthusiasts, institutional investors and C-Suite leaders.

Attendees will explore Bitcoin as a growing investment asset and the technological advancements driving its evolution.

Also on Monday, April 7, the world’s first fully agent-led conference, ‘AgentX,’ will take place.

With over 40 speakers and 1,200 attendees expected, this groundbreaking event will explore the transformative power of AI and decentralization – with a special focus on AI agents.

The main event at the Carrousel du Louvre begins on April 8, offering three packed days of keynote sessions, debates, workshops and panels.

Industry leaders – including Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge, Charles Hoskinson of Input | Output and Chris Donovan of NEAR Foundation – will speak on trending themes such as open finance, AI, regulations, MiCA, CBDCs and corporate Web 3.0

On April 8, VIP ticket holders will gather for an exclusive dinner beneath the iconic Pyramide du Louvre, where they’ll enjoy a gourmet experience while connecting with top investors, CEOs and global innovators.

The expanded schedule introduces two pioneering initiatives designed to address emerging industry trends and connect professionals around the most pressing topics shaping the blockchain ecosystem.

On April 9, delegates are invited to join the ‘RWA voyage’ for thought-provoking discussions on RWA (real-world asset) tokenization.

Then, on April 11, PBW unveils ‘DePIN central,’ a premier event dedicated to DePINs (decentralized physical infrastructure networks), bringing together industry leaders, innovators and investors to drive collaboration and innovation in this rapidly growing sector.

These new additions complement PBW’s signature highlights, including the ‘Start in Block’ startup competition on April 10 – a platform for Web 3.0 founders and investors to connect, explore trends and discuss funding strategies.

The week concludes in style with a spectacular closing party at the legendary La Machine du Moulin Rouge, and an exclusive LP breakfast at the Ritz Hotel on April 11.

PBW 2025 continues to set the standard for facilitating innovation, collaboration and progress in the blockchain and Web 3.0 ecosystem.
