Bitcoin Magazine

Bitcoin Magazine is a digital and print news outlet dedicated to Bitcoin, network infrastructure, and macroeconomic developments. Operating since 2012, the platform provides daily market reporting, technical explainers, policy coverage, and multimedia programming for individual readers and institutional participants.

Ownership and background

The outlet was co-founded in 2012 by Mihai Alisie and Vitalik Buterin, who served as head writer before later developing Ethereum. In early 2015, BTC Media LLC completed the purchase of the publication from Coin Publishing LLC. Today, Bitcoin Magazine is operated by parent company BTC Inc, a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc (NASDAQ: NAKA), with headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. David Bailey serves as Chairman of the Board, while Brandon Green holds the role of Chief Executive Officer of BTC Inc.

Content formats and access

All digital articles, news updates, and opinion pieces on the primary website are free to access without a digital paywall. Alongside its online reporting, the company produces a quarterly limited-run print collector's magazine and runs an independent imprint called Bitcoin Magazine Books. Audio and video programming include daily weekday live broadcasts on BM TV, which streams market analysis and macro updates from 9:30 to 11:30 AM ET. Mobile applications are available for iOS and Android devices, and readers can subscribe to free daily weekday email newsletters.

Track record and ecosystem reach

Bitcoin Magazine released its first print issue in May 2012. Its parent entity also organizes global events under The Bitcoin Conference brand, including the Miami 2021 gathering where El Salvador announced its legal tender plans and the Nashville 2024 conference that drew 22,500 attendees. Across all primary social channels, the outlet reaches an aggregate audience of more than 6 million followers as of October 2026.

Editorial scope and limitations

Editorial coverage focuses strictly on Bitcoin and related macro topics, intentionally omitting broader altcoin, smart contract, and general Web3 development outside Bitcoin integrations. BTC Inc also operates the venture arm UTXO Management and produces major industry conferences, presenting potential ownership conflicts. While the publication maintains a disclosure policy requiring journalists to disclose financial interests in parent company holdings, it routinely carries clearly labeled sponsored articles and corporate press releases alongside its regular news feed.
