This weekend, Chiang Mai’s Bitcoin Trail Run brought together over 1,000 people including runners, staff, volunteers, and vendors, creating real awareness and exposure to Bitcoin in a meaningful, on the ground way.

Bitcoin represents something unique to everyone, a tool of freedom, a path to hope, and a symbol of what’s possible when people take control of their own future.

Today, I spoke to over 200 university students and compared a crypto exchange to an amusement park, a circus, and a buffet, flashy, loud, and full of temptation. It’s easy to get lost in the excitement if you don’t know why you’re there. Bitcoin is the signal. All else is noise.

We continue to educate on Bitcoin and build relationships with the major universities in Northern Thailand.

Today, 10 new guests from Singapore, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand all visited our Bitcoin building around the same time. Maybe it’s because Google says we’re open 7 days per week from noon to 1 PM 😂

Final registration numbers are in for the world's first Bitcoin Half Marathon. 2,750 runners from over 45 nations will blaze a trail of orange in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on November 2nd.

Over 300 confirmed Bitcoiners and more than 1200 others have registered for the world’s first Bitcoin Half Marathon. Even if you’re not a runner, but believe in freedom and a brighter future, come stand with us. Join us in Chiang Mai, Thailand, early morning on November 2.

Today, 45 Thais attended the Bitcoin educational workshop at the Bitcoin Learning Center in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand.

The Central Bank of Thailand freezes 3 Million Bank Accounts and begins setting Daily Limits. Thank god for Bitcoin.

When a new local merchant begins accepting #Bitcoin, it’s important we support them in the early days. This not only helps them build confidence but also demonstrates the strength and value of community.

Northern Thailand is quickly becoming the heart of Asia’s grassroots Bitcoin movement. Grateful to @gladstein and @npub1s05p...eyhe for your wisdom and guidance in advancing Bitcoin as a freedom tool for vulnerable regions like ours.

When physical Bitcoin spaces align in harmony, the results are joyful.

Bitcoin education is not a lesson we give, it is a life we live. If we want others to listen, we must first let them see. The way we walk, the choices we make, these become our teaching. Only by being the example do we give others a reason to follow.

Today our team leader Fai, successfully added 50 additional university students from Thailand and Myanmar to the Bitcoin Network.

Dr. Ravee Phoewhawm, the Research Director on our Bitcoin project, visited The Bitcoin Building in Chiang Mai, Thailand today. Known by his nickname "Dr. Arty," he brings a wealth of academic experience with 42 formal publications to his name.

🚨Just in: Thailand Moves to Become Global Bitcoin Hub with New Tax Exemptions on Capital Gains. (Translation below:) The Ministry of Finance has issued a tax measure to promote Thailand as a global Bitcoin hub. On June 17, 2025, the Cabinet approved in principle the tax measure to promote Thailand as a global Bitcoin hub, according to the draft ministerial regulation issued under the Revenue Code regarding tax exemptions, as proposed by the Ministry of Finance. Mr. Julapun Amornvivat, Deputy Minister of Finance, stated, “This tax measure to promote Thailand as a global Bitcoin hub involves exempting personal income tax on capital gains from the sale of Bitcoin through digital asset business operators licensed under the Digital Asset Business Act B.E. 2561 (2018), including digital asset exchanges, brokers, and dealers. This exemption applies from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029. The measure supports the government’s policy to position Thailand as one of the world’s leading financial hubs.” Thailand was among the first countries in the world to establish legal frameworks regulating Bitcoin and related taxation. The country has continued refining its Bitcoin taxation system to encourage fundraising through digital tokens and promote Bitcoin and token trading through regulated operators under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This latest tax refinement is expected to drive growth in Thailand’s Bitcoin market, related businesses, and token-based fundraising, while also fostering the use of technology and innovation within Thailand. It is projected that this will lead to increased economic growth and medium-term tax revenues of at least 1 billion baht. Mr. Julapun further stated, “This tax measure encourages Bitcoin trading through Thai digital asset business operators regulated by the SEC and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). These operators comply with recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), ensuring transparency and accountability in transactions.” Additionally, the Revenue Department is in the process of adopting the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) for automatic exchange of Bitcoin transaction data globally, further increasing transparency in the Bitcoin sector.
