Education Committee
The Education Committee of the Bitcoin Bundesverband is dedicated to promoting knowledge and education about Bitcoin. Our goal is to develop educational projects and materials that facilitate access to Bitcoin for companies, institutions and the general public.

ESG working group
The ESG Valuation working group deals with the valuation of Bitcoin in the context of environmental, social and governance (ESG). The aim is to proactively develop standards and criteria before external actors do so. This is particularly relevant for Bitcoin holders and service providers as they need to integrate these assessments into their ESG reports. Members of this working group are working to develop sound and transparent assessment methods that meet the specific requirements and benefits of Bitcoin.
from 6.1.25 every 2 weeks on Mondays from 6-7 pm

Marketing working group
The marketing working group develops and coordinates the public communication of the Bitcoin Bundesverband. Its aim is to make the association visible, communicate the social benefits of Bitcoin and attract new members, supporters and multipliers.
We work together on content, strategies and formats to clearly communicate our positions to the outside world. We do this via social media, events, print materials and press work. We test communication approaches, gather feedback from the community and ensure that the association’s voice is heard.
Why take part?
Those who participate in the working group actively shape the external image of the German Bitcoin interest group. You will learn from others, contribute your skills and make a concrete contribution to advancing Bitcoin in Germany. Whether you represent a company, are a designer, enjoy writing texts or simply want to make a difference – we look forward to your support.
from 2.6.25 every 2 weeks on Mondays from 15:00-16:00
Bitcoin Business Dinner
The Bitcoin Business Dinner is an informal but focused gathering of people who are professionally involved with Bitcoin – be it as entrepreneurs, self-employed people, service providers or developers.
Unlike traditional meetups, which are often open to the wider community, this format is aimed specifically at the business perspective:
- What challenges are there in dealing with Bitcoin as a business?
- What works well – and what doesn’t?
- What collaborations are possible?
- What regulatory, technical or market-related issues are we dealing with?
every three months (quarterly)

Bitcoin Reserve Working Group
The BTC Reserve working group is campaigning for the Federal Republic of Germany to set up a state Bitcoin reserve. The aim is to hold Bitcoin that has already been collected for the long term and not to sell it. This initiative is intended to strengthen Germany’s financial stability and independence by using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve similar to gold. Members of this working group are working on concepts and strategies to support the implementation and management of such a reserve

Payment working group
The Means of Payment and Lightning working group deals with the identification and evaluation of legal ambiguities and risks for lightning service providers as well as private and corporate routing node operators. The aim is to evaluate necessary adjustments to existing laws and propose measures to create legal certainty. This initiative is intended to help create a secure and legally clear environment for the use of the Lightning Network as a means of payment.
