When Toni Heiskanen first stumbled across Bitcoin in 2015 during his university studies, he bought a small amount and promptly forgot about it. That changed in 2017, when he checked back and found his position had grown over 100% — and that’s when the deep dive began.
Since then, Toni has spent thousands of hours studying Bitcoin and what it means for money, freedom, and society. He’s the chairman of Konsensus ry (the Finnish Cryptocurrency Association), CEO of Strongest Group Oy, and co-author of two influential Finnish-language Bitcoin books: Bitcoin: Avain vapauteen (a free e-book that’s introduced thousands of Finns to Bitcoin) and Bitcoin – rahan vallankumous, written together with Janne Piiroinen and Jenni Selosmaa.
His message is consistent: Bitcoin is more than an investment. It’s a tool for understanding the flaws in the current monetary system — and a quiet revolution in how trust, value, and freedom can work in the digital age.
We’re thrilled to welcome Toni to the BTCHEL2026 stage. If you’ve ever wondered why so many Finns are paying attention to Bitcoin, his talk is the one to catch.
