Since 2019, the Bitcoin Conference Art Gallery has invited artists to do something radical—at least by traditional art world standards: price their work in bitcoin—not as metaphor, but as method. What began as a modest experiment in peer-to-peer art sales has, by 2025, evolved into a growing body of work that reflects the movement’s shifting values, symbols, and cultural debates. With over 65 BTC in cumulative art sales, the gallery hasn’t just challenged legacy pricing—it’s built a visual archive of Bitcoin’s ascent. To price a painting in sats is to assert that value can be sovereign—that creative labor need not pass through fiat institutions or legacy art systems to be real.

This year’s Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas exhibition features some of the most ambitious pieces yet: monumental paintings and mosaics, hand-carved relics, poster campaigns, and recursive digital portraits. The ten artists featured in this Q&A span diverse media and intent, yet share a common urgency. Whether invoking Renaissance myth or elevating meme culture to the scale of temple fresco, they explore value—economic, symbolic, and spiritual. These aren’t just observers of the Bitcoin movement—they’re shaping its iconography.

In the following Q&A, ten artists share their perspectives on their work, offering insights into what they created for B25.

Most works featured in this interview will be available through the conference auction, hosted in partnership with Scarce.City, where each piece will be priced natively in Bitcoin. The full preview gallery can be viewed here.
