Launched last month after a unanimous vote by the City Council, the Santa Monica Bitcoin Office is dedicated to educating the local community about the transformative potential of Bitcoin. The office also aims to identify and facilitate Bitcoin industry partnerships to support Santa Monica’s economic recovery and create new jobs.
By fostering strategic collaborations and positioning Santa Monica as a hub for Bitcoin innovation, the city hopes to attract investment and ensure economic resilience in the digital age. The upcoming festival is part of this broader mission, providing residents and businesses with an opportunity to engage with the latest developments in Bitcoin.
